AS CENTRAL ALABAMA STARTS TO DRY OUT JUST A BIT. THAT’S GOOD NEWS, RIGHT? OUR FIRST WARNING, CHIEF METEOROLOGIST JASON SIMPSON IS JOINING US NOW TO KEEP UP WITH THOSE CHANGES. JASON, WHAT CAN WE EXPECT AS WE HEAD INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK? WELL, WEATHER LOOKING A LOT QUIETER TONIGHT INTO TOMORROW, BUT WE DID HAVE SOME BRIEF ACTION UP HERE IN THE TENNESSEE VALLEY EARLIER. THESE ARE ALL OF THE TORNADO WARNINGS PILED ON TOP OF EACH OTHER. THIS MONTH, NOT INCLUDING THE TWO TONIGHT. THAT INCLUDED A BIG PART OF THE CITY OF HUNTSVILLE. THEY’VE HAD. I THINK IF I COUNT IT RIGHT, TEN TORNADO WARNINGS IN MADISON COUNTY ALONE THIS MONTH. AND LOOK AT THIS. THIS IS A WALL CLOUD THAT WAS HOVERING OVER SOUTH HUNTSVILLE EARLIER THIS EVENING. NO DAMAGE WAS REPORTED WITH THIS, BUT THEY DID ISSUE A TORNADO WARNING ON THAT AS IT WAS MOVING THROUGH A VERY LOW HANGING CLOUD. OFTEN THOSE FORM THIS TIME OF YEAR IN AN ENVIRONMENT ON A DAY THAT YOU DON’T NORMALLY EXPECT A LOT OF SEVERE WEATHER, BUT FORTUNATELY NO DAMAGE REPORTED. NOW WE JUST HAVE SHOWERS UP HERE IN NORTH ALABAMA. A FEW DOWNPOURS AROUND CULLMAN COUNTY, AND SOME HEAVIER THUNDERSTORMS THAT ARE STILL DOWN TO THE SOUTH OVER LOWNDES COUNTY AND ON A DIFFERENT KIND OF NIGHT WITH MORE INSTABILITY. THIS WOULD BE A NASTY LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS. IT’S NO PICNIC, BUT WE DON’T EXPECT SEVERE WEATHER IS OCCURRING HERE NEAR INTERSTATE 65 BETWEEN HOPE HALL AND DOWN THROUGH THE THE. THE GREENVILLE AREA IN SOUTH CENTRAL ALABAMA. THAT’S HEADED OVER TOWARD MONTGOMERY COUNTY AND SOUTHERN LOWNDES COUNTY. SO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE GOING TO STAY IN THE FORECAST THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK, BUT TOMORROW WE’LL GET A LITTLE REPRIEVE FROM THEM. I DON’T SEE TOO MANY IN THE FORECAST ON WEDNESDAY, MAYBE A BRIEF DOWNPOUR HERE AND THERE, BUT NOT WIDESPREAD LIKE IT WAS TODAY. WE ARE DRYING OUT SOME THIS WEEKEND. THERE WILL BE A LOW CHANCE OF A SHOWER SUNDAY, AND THEN WE’VE GOT OUR EYES ON THE GULF BECAUSE HURRICANE SEASON STARTS ON SUNDAY. AND HERE’S WHAT WE’RE LOOKING AT DOWN THE ROAD. MAYBE ABOUT A WEEK TO TEN DAYS IN ADVANCE. BIG AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE OVER HERE IN THE ATLANTIC. THAT’S WHAT THIS ORANGE COLOR REPRESENTS. AND THEN A BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE. YOU MAY SEE THIS ON SOCIAL MEDIA CALLED SOMETHING CALLED THE CENTRAL AMERICAN GEAR. I MIGHT EVEN CALL IT THAT ON FACEBOOK OR TWITTER EVERY NOW AND THEN. BUT IT’S A BIG, BROAD, LOW AND OCCASIONALLY IT WILL SPIN OFF SMALLER AREAS OF LOW PRESSURE THAT GET INTO FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENTS THAT COULD PRODUCE SOMETHING OF A TROPICAL ORIGIN. WE’LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS WITH THAT OVER THE NEXT 7 TO 10 DAYS. RIGHT NOW, I’M NOT CONVINCED WE GET A BIG DEAL OUT OF IT, BUT IT IS GETTING TO BE THAT TIME OF YEAR. BY 11:00 PM. THUNDERSTORMS DOWN HERE CLOSE TO MONTGOMERY AND TROY FOR NORTH ALABAMA, CENTRAL ALABAMA. JUST SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS. NOT MUCH INSTABILITY TONIGHT OR TOMORROW MORNING. AND THAT’S ONE REASON THAT WE DON’T EXPECT TOO MUCH ACTIVITY. BUT THEN WATCH THIS. HERE COMES THE NEXT BATCH OF LOCALLY HEAVY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. SOME OF THOSE WILL BE IN HERE LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT. EARLY THURSDAY MORNING. BUT BECAUSE OF THE TIMING OF THIS, IT MAY PREVENT A LOT OF THUNDERSTORMS DURING THE DAY ON THURSDAY. SO A LITTLE RAIN AND THUNDER TONIGHT IN SPOTS. CLOUDY TOMORROW MORNING. ISOLATED STORMS TOMORROW AFTERNOON. WE’RE GOING UP TO 83 ON WEDNESDAY WITH LIMITED SHOWERS. A LITTLE BETTER CHANCE. THURSDAY A LITTLE BETTER CHANCE EARLY FRIDAY MORNING. BUT THERE’S A COOL FRONT COMING THROUGH ON FRIDAY THAT’S GOING TO KNOCK THE RAIN OUT FOR THE WEEKEND, AT LEAST FOR SATURDAY. THAT SMALL CHANCE OF A SHOWER WITH A WEAK DISTURBANCE PASSING SUNDAY. BUT I DON’T SEE SIGNIFICANT RAIN IN OUR SEVEN DAY FORECAST BEYOND THAT EARLY MORNING
