THE REST OF THE DAY? REST OF THE DAY AND THE WEEK? WELL, WE’VE GOT THAT NEXT BATCH OF STORMS MOVING IN NOW. AND SO OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO WATCH FOR A FAIRLY LOW, SEVERE POTENTIAL. BUT STILL, SOME OF THOSE STORMS COULD BE ON THE STRONG SIDE WITH GUSTY WINDS, INTENSE LIGHTNING. HERE’S WHAT WE’VE LOOKED LIKE FROM OUR FIRST WARNING LIVE RADAR OVER THE LAST THREE HOURS. AND YOU CAN SEE THAT NEXT ROUND MOVING IN. NOW, AT THIS POINT, THESE STORMS ARE BELOW SEVERE LIMITS, BUT THEY ARE STILL ON THE HEAVIER SIDE. SOME OF THESE COULD BE PRODUCING WINDS OVER 40MPH. THIS WAS A STORM HERE THAT HAD A HISTORY OF PRODUCING SOME HAIL AS IT MOVED ACROSS SUMTER COUNTY. AT THIS POINT IT HAS COME DOWN IN INTENSITY JUST A BIT. LOOKING TO CROSS OVER I-20 TOWARDS EUTAW HERE IN THE NEXT FEW MOMENTS, BUT LIKELY STILL PRODUCING SOME VERY HEAVY RAIN NEAR CRAWFORD FORK. AND IT’S GOING TO BE MOVING TOWARDS EUTAW AND ALLISON HERE. WE’VE ALSO GOT ANOTHER HEAVIER THUNDERSTORM OVER SOUTHERN LAMAR COUNTY, BASICALLY SITTING RIGHT ON TOP OF MILLPORT. ANOTHER STORM HERE, MOVING INTO FAYETTE, DOWNTOWN FAYETTE PRETTY SOON WILL BE DEALING WITH SOME HEAVIER RAIN, AND YOU’VE ALREADY GOT SOME MODERATE RAIN FALLING AT THIS POINT. AND I’VE BEEN WATCHING THIS STORM AS WELL, MOVING THROUGH MARION COUNTY. THIS COULD BE PRODUCING WIND OVER 30MPH. IN ADDITION TO THAT, WE’VE GOT HEAVY RAIN. SEE SOME LIGHTNING STRIKES THERE SHOWING UP NEAR SCOTTSVILLE. THIS WILL BE APPROACHING HALEYVILLE AROUND 530 4:00. MOVING INTO BRILLIANT AROUND 557. SO HERE’S THE OVERALL PICTURE. WE’VE ACTUALLY GOT A FRONT TO OUR NORTHWEST THAT’S MOVING TOWARDS THE STATE THAT IS KIND OF INITIATING THIS THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY. WE DID HAVE A ROUND MOVE THROUGH EARLY THIS MORNING. AS YOU ALL KNOW, THAT LEFT SOME CLOUD COVER WITH US ACROSS CENTRAL ALABAMA. AND THAT ACTUALLY HELPED A LITTLE BIT TO STAY OR EXCUSE ME, TO STABILIZE THE ATMOSPHERE. WE WEREN’T ABLE TO DESTABILIZE AS MUCH BECAUSE OF THE CLOUDS AROUND. AND SOME OF THAT RAIN COOLED AIR THAT’S BEEN HANGING WITH US. SO MOVING THE FIRST WARNING FUTURE TRACK FORWARD LINE OF STORMS KEEPS PUSHING INTO CENTRAL ALABAMA. WE’RE BASICALLY LOOKING AT SOME POCKETS OF INTENSE THUNDERSTORMS THAT CONTINUE THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS. THIS IS 8:00. AND NOTICE AT THAT POINT, KIND OF A TREND OF BETTER ACTIVITY COVERAGE SOUTH OF I-20. BY 9:00, MORE OF THE SAME. AND WE’LL BE WATCHING ANY OF THESE STORMS FOR GUSTY WINDS, HEAVY RAIN, SOME INTENSE LIGHTNING OVERNIGHT AS WE GET TOWARDS ABOUT MIDNIGHT, COVERAGE REALLY DIMINISHES AND WE’LL KEEP JUST A SMALL CHANCE FOR A FEW SPOTTY SHOWERS INTO EARLY TOMORROW MORNING. A FEW OF THOSE COULD EVEN HANG WITH US INTO THE MORNING COMMUTE. IN ADDITION TO THAT, WE’LL BE WATCHING FOR SOME PATCHY FOG DEVELOPMENT TO GET YOU OUT THE DOOR. DID WANT TO LET YOU KNOW, THOUGH, FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS. STORM PREDICTION CENTER CONTINUES WITH A SLIGHT LEVEL TWO OUT OF FIVE RISK FOR CENTRAL AND NORTH ALABAMA. WE TALKED ABOUT THOSE MAIN THREATS BEING WIND, LOW THREAT FOR SOME HAIL, INTENSE LIGHTNING AND THEN HEAVY RAIN. TOMORROW IS THE START OF A LITTLE BIT DRIER TREND. WE GET TO A CHANCE TO KIND OF DRY OUT FROM THOSE HEAVIER BATCHES OF STORMS FOR TOMORROW AND WEDNESDAY. WE BEGIN TOMORROW MORNING WITH A LOW CHANCE FOR A FEW SHOWERS OR STORMS. MOST ARE DRY. SOME OF US COULD BE DEALING WITH THAT PATCHY FOG, THOUGH DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. LUNCHTIME WE’RE MAINLY DRY AND THEN WE’LL KEEP JUST AN ISOLATED CHANCE FOR A FEW SHOWERS AND STORMS TOMORROW AFTERNOON. WEDNESDAY LOOKS TO BE MAINLY DRY AS WELL FOR MOST LOCATIONS. HIGHS ARE GOING TO BE FEELING PRETTY HOT IN THE UPPER 80S AND THEN THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY AND SUNDAY IS THE START OF ANOTHER PATTERN WHERE WE GET THE DAILY CHANCE FOR RAIN AND THUNDER EACH AFTERNOON AND EVENING. AND IN ADDITION TO THAT, HUMIDITY VALUES REALLY CLIMBING. SO CHECK IT OUT. FEELS LIKE TEMPERATURES REACHING INTO THE MIDDLE AND EVEN UPPER 90S F
