Good Morning! Early this morning, in the pre-dawn hours, radar is quite busy. A band of showers and storms is advancing southeastward ahead of a front moving through the state. Later today, the greatest threat for storms will be shifting to south Alabama, Clouds and showers will hold the temperature in the 80’s today, but the 90’s will be making a big comeback, especially mid to late week. Triple digit heat indices will be back, too. And, the number of storms on the radar will start to decrease a bit this week. More random storms, but, not as stormy as the last few days. Here’s my brief forecast discussion.
TODAY: Mostly Cloudy. There is a morning risk of showers & storms. Then, the risk of more scattered showers and storms will redevelop during the afternoon and evening. Highs will be held down to the upper 80’s. Low tonight 71.
Most of the active weather will be along and south of a southward moving front today and tonight.
