Stormy End of the Day

Currently we are monitoring a cell over the Birmingham Metro. The storm should be easing into Tuscaloosa within the hour. With this cell you can expect strong winds, heavy rain, and vivid lightning. Remember: if you're close enough to hear thunder, you're close enough to be struck by lightning.

For the rest of the week, you can expect similar scenarios(early afternoon scattered showers and thunderstorms) every day.

Stay tuned for more details as the weather event unfolds.

New hurricane post is up on our hurricane preparedness site! Click here.

We'll be high and dry today across the state. As the week progresses though, you can expect our usual afternoon scattered showers and thunderstorms. The odds increase with each passing day, beginning tomorrow. Weekend will be similar. As the upper ridge weakens next week, we'll be faced with greater chances of storms as well as a cooling trends as highs should only make it to the mid to upper 80s.

We'll keep you updated as more info becomes available.
