THE ROADWAYS ARE WET AT ALABASTER USING OUR FULL MOON BARBECUE CAMERA, WE CAN KIND OF SEE THAT THEY JUST GOT OUT OF THE SHOWER SOME MORE, MAYBE HEADED THEIR WAY ANY MOMENT NOW. BUT ON THE FIRST WARNING LIVE RADAR, WE ARE TRACKING SOME SHOWERS ENTERING PICKENS COUNTY NOW NEAR ALICEVILLE, CARROLLTON AND REFORM JUST NORTH OF BENEVOLA. THIS IS MOVING PRETTY QUICKLY, SO IT WILL BE NEAR ELROD BY 11:52 A.M. COKER BY NOON AND 12:08 P.M. IT SHOULD BE IN DOWNTOWN TUSCALOOSA, BUT THAT’S NOT THE ONLY SHOWERS WE’RE WATCHING AT THE MOMENT. THERE’S ALABASTER. WE WERE JUST LOOKING AT THE CAMERA EARLIER, THE RAIN MOVING OUT OF ALABASTER, NOW OUT OF CHELSEA, AND MOVING THROUGH VINCENT AND MOVING TOWARDS COLUMBIANA AND CALERA PRETTY QUICKLY AT ABOUT 50MPH. SO LET’S PUT A TRACK ON THAT AS WELL AND SEE HOW LONG UNTIL IT GETS TO SYLACAUGA. THIS WILL BE THE SECOND ROUND COMING FROM TALLADEGA AND FROM COLUMBIANA AND MOVING FURTHER SOUTHWARD. SO PUT A TRACK ON THIS AT ABOUT 50 MILES SOUTHEAST CALERA BY 11:48 A.M., OAK GROVE BY NOON. SYLACAUGA BY 11:58 A.M. AND LIBERTY HILL BY 12:01 P.M. SO IT SHOULD BE THERE WITHIN THE NEXT 15 MINUTES OR SO. WE JUST GOT SOME RAIN COMING OUT OF CLANTON ALREADY AND SOME MORE IS HEADED THAT WAY. RIGHT THERE ALONG THAT I-65 CORRIDOR COMING OUT OF THE SHILOH BAPTIST CHURCH, MOVING OVER COUNTY ROAD 37 AND FAIRVIEW AND HEADED TOWARDS ENTERPRISE GROCERY AND EXIT 200 ALONG HIGHWAY 31 THERE, MOVING FURTHER EASTWARD, HERE’S CLAY COUNTY, HERE’S TALLAPOOSA COUNTY, AND THERE’S COOSA COUNTY. GOT SOME RAIN HEADED TOWARDS ALEXANDER CITY, SOME MORE COMING OUT OF ALEXANDER CITY AND HEADED OVER LAKE MARTIN. ASHLAND MICAVILLE JUST GOT OUT OF SOME RAIN AND HEADED TOWARDS EASTERN PORTIONS OF ALABAMA. LIKE RANDOLPH COUNTY AND DOWN TOWARDS PARTS OF LEE COUNTY, DOWN TOWARDS AUBURN. BUT OVERALL, THESE ARE JUST RAIN AND DOWNPOURS AND SHOWERS. NOT SEEING ANY THUNDERSTORMS OUT THERE, NOT SEEING ANY SEVERE WEATHER AT THIS POINT, BUT WE ARE SEEING A DOWNPOUR. WE’RE HEADED OUT OF ANNISTON AND MOVING INTO GEORGIA. SOME LIGHT SHOWERS OVER BLOUNT COUNTY, MOVING EASTWARD TOWARDS ASHVILLE RIGHT THERE ALONG THAT INTERSTATE 59 CORRIDOR. SO LOTS OF RAIN OUT THERE RIGHT NOW. NOTHING SEVERE TEMPERATURES, THOUGH IN THE UPPER 60S AND LOW 70S, ALL THE CLOUDS AND THE RAIN HAS KEPT THAT RAIN COOLED AIR ACROSS CENTRAL ALABAMA, KEEPING TEMPERATURES DOWN ALL TOGETHER. THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER HAS OUTLINED A LEVEL ONE OF FIVE ON THE STORM OUTLOOK, MAINLY FOR SOUTH OF I-59 AND ALONG AND EAST OF I-65, AND THE LEVEL TWO THREAT FOR AUBURN, LEE COUNTY RANDOLPH COUNTY. DUE TO THE THREAT FOR SOME GUSTY WINDS AND LARGE HAIL WITHIN SOME OF THE STORMS THAT DEVELOP AS WE WORK OUR WAY OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. SO WE’RE TRACKING RAIN AND STORMS RIGHT NOW. THIS WEEKEND LOOKS MUCH DIFFERENT. LOTS OF SUNSHINE, MUCH DRIER, AND THEN IT’S GOING TO BE FEELING A LOT LIKE SUMMER AS WE WORK OUR WAY INTO NEXT WEEK. WARMER WITH ALSO THE POTENTIAL FOR SPOTTY SHOWERS DURING THE AFTERNOON AS WELL, LIKE WE TYPICALLY SEE DURING THE SUMMER. HERE’S OUR FIRST WARNING FUTURE TRACK. WE’VE GOT THAT FRONT TRYING TO WORK ITS WAY IN THOSE ISOLATED SHOWERS, DOWNPOURS AND THUNDERSTORMS THAT WE WERE JUST TRACKING SHOULD BE ACROSS SOUTHEAST ALABAMA BY 1:00, AND THEN WE’RE LEFT WITH JUST SOME RESIDUAL SHOWERS AND RAIN. NOTHING STORMY AT ALL. AND THAT’S BECAUSE THIS COLD FRONT IS DRAPED OVER US. BY THE TIME WE GET INTO THIS EVENING. THERE IT IS THERE. AND IT’S BRINGING IN SOME MUCH DRIER AIR INTO NORTH ALABAMA, CENTRAL ALABAMA. THAT’S GOING TO BRING RAIN CHANCES TO ZERO BY THE TIME WE GET INTO SATURDAY. NOT ONLY THAT, BUT IT’S ALSO GOING TO BRING IN SOME WILDFIRE SMOKE FROM CANADA. AND THAT’S GOING TO MAKE THINGS A LITTLE BIT HAZIER, ESPECIALLY DURING THE AFTERNOON. BUT OVERALL, SATURDAY LOOKS GREAT. WE’LL CLIMB TO 80 DEGREES. SOME SPOTS WILL STAY IN THE UPPER 70S. WE DO NOT HAVE ANY RAIN POTENTIAL AND WE SHOULD SEE LOTS OF SUNSHINE. SO GET OUT THERE AND ENJOY IT. SUNDAY LOOKS VERY SIMILAR, BUT WE DO HAVE SOME POP UP SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS RETURNING MID WEEK NEXT WEEK. COMBINED WITH THE HEAT, SOME OF THOSE THUNDERSTORMS COULD BE SEVERE, BUT WE’RE NOT EXPECTING ANYTHING WIDESPREAD, AT LEAST FOR NOW. IF ANYTHING CHANGES, WE’LL LET YOU KNOW HERE A
