CUMULUS CLOUDS OUT ACROSS DOWNTOWN. THE RAIN CAME IN AT 2:00. ANOTHER BATCH CAME IN AT 230, AND THEN THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING HAS BEEN MAINLY DRY. FEW SPRINKLES HERE AND THERE. WE’RE LOOKING AT THE FIRST WARNING LIVE RADAR, AND WE ARE TRACKING SOME SHOWERS ACROSS BIRMINGHAM, NORWOOD, HOMEWOOD AND PUSHING EASTWARD ACROSS MOUNTAIN BROOK HOOVER DOWN TOWARDS THE SUMMIT AREA. THIS SHADED BLUE AREA YOU SEE IS A FLOOD ADVISORY IN PLACE UNTIL 530. WE’RE NOT THE ONLY ONES IN A FLOOD ADVISORY. SAINT CLAIR COUNTY SHELBY COUNTIES ARE ALSO IN A FLOOD ADVISORY, ALSO INCLUDING CHILTON, COOSA, TALLAPOOSA COUNTIES. AND THAT JUST MEANS FLOODING IS POSSIBLE. WITH THE AMOUNT OF RAIN WE’VE SEEN OVER THE PAST FEW HOURS. I PUT A TRACK ON THIS LAST BATCH OF THUNDERSTORMS MOVING ACROSS CENTRAL ALABAMA. AGAIN, THIS IS CHILTON, COOSA, TALLAPOOSA COUNTY. IT WILL BE NEAR DEXTER BY 520. MILLBROOK BY 526, AND BURLINGTON CLOSER TO 530. STILL A GOOD BIT OF LIGHTNING WITH SOME OF THESE DOWNPOURS PUSHING SOUTHWARD. WE HAVE SOME RAIN AND LIGHTNING OVER PLANTERSVILLE OVER BETHEL GROVE BETWEEN I-20. EXCUSE ME, HIGHWAY 22 AND HIGHWAY 82 THERE. PLETCHER SEEING SOME RAIN. BILLINGSLEY SEEING SOME RAIN AND A PRETTY GOOD THUNDERSTORM HERE. MOVING INTO ELMORE COUNTY JUST BETWEEN WHITE CITY AND NEAR THIS CHAPEL HERE ALONG I-65. LOTS OF LIGHTNING THERE ALONG HIGHWAY 31 AS WELL. MARBURY SEEING SOME RAIN. AND THEN WE’RE JUST GOING TO KEEP PUSHING EASTWARD. MORE RAIN OVER TENNIS AND HIGHWAY 231 AND SOME HEAVIER DOWNPOURS OVER ALEXANDER CITY, LAKE MARTIN. NOT A TON OF LIGHTNING OVER YOU GUYS, BUT IF YOU’RE TRYING TO GET IN THE RIVER OR THE LAKE, JUST MAKE SURE YOU WAIT UNTIL THAT LAST LIGHTNING STRIKE KIND OF PUSHES SOUTHWARD AND YOU DON’T HEAR ANY MORE THUNDER OUT THERE. WE’RE ALSO TRACKING A FEW THUNDERSTORMS CLOSER TO DEMOPOLIS FORKLAND LIVINGSTON. LET’S ZOOM IN TO WHERE THAT LIGHTNING IS BETWEEN FORKLAND AND DEMOPOLIS, YOU CAN SEE A HEAVY DOWNPOUR THERE JUST WEST OF BELMONT, AND SOME LIGHTNING OVER BELMONT TOO. AND JUST STRATIFORM RAIN EVERYWHERE ELSE. WHEN WE SAY STRATIFORM, THAT JUST MEANS SHOWERS. LIGHT RAIN, SPRINKLES, NO LIGHTNING ASSOCIATED WITH ALL THIS RAIN THAT’S OVER ONEONTA SPRINGVILLE HEADING INTO PELL CITY. MORE RAIN OVER JASPER, FAYETTE, SAMANTHA TUSCALOOSA CARROLLTON PICKENSVILLE ALICEVILLE THAT’S YOU GUYS. AND THEN WE DO HAVE A SMALL BATCH OF THUNDERSTORMS MOVING INTO NORTHERN LAMAR COUNTY. AT THIS POINT, SOME HEAVY DOWNPOURS OVER HAMILTON ALONG THAT I-22 CORRIDOR. SULLIGENT DETROIT SEEING SOME RAIN AND YOU GUYS COULD BE SEEING SOME MORE LIGHTNING WITH THAT TOO. BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS ALL THIS RAIN HAS KEPT TEMPERATURES DOWN OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF HOURS. TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE BOARD IN THE MID 70S AND IS ACTUALLY FEELING LIKE THE MID 70S AS WELL. THAT’S THANKS TO ALL OF THAT RAIN THAT WE’VE SEEN. TODAY IS AN IMPACT DAY, AND THAT MEANS THE WEATHER COULD IMPACT YOUR NORMAL ROUTINE OR BE A NUISANCE. AND WE SAW THAT TODAY. BUT IT’S ALSO HELPED KEEP THOSE TEMPERATURES DOWN TO MONDAY AND TUESDAY. WE SEE A SIMILAR STORY. TEMPERATURES WILL RISE UP IN THE EARLY AFTERNOON AND THEN THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP AND LIKELY AS WE MAKE OUR WAY INTO THE EVENING. AND THEN WE’RE ALSO GOING TO BE DEALING WITH PLENTY OF HEAT THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS, ESPECIALLY LATER INTO THE WORKWEEK. AND THEN WE’RE DRIER AS WE GET INTO THE 4TH OF JULY, FRIDAY INTO THE WEEKEND, TOO. THIS IS 7:00 THIS EVENING. IT’S SHOWING A GOOD DEPICTION OF WHAT THE RADAR LOOKS LIKE RIGHT NOW. THE FIRST WARNING FUTURE TRACK HAS US SEEING SOME STRATIFORM RAIN STILL THROUGH 10:00 PM, AND THEN BY 3 A.M. ALL THAT IS GONE. WORKING OUR WAY INTO THE AFTERNOON ON MONDAY, WE’LL START TO SEE MORE ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS POP UP. THE HIGHEST COVERAGE AROUND 7:00, AND THEN LINGERING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH 2 A.M. TUESDAY MORNING. THIS IS TROPICAL STORM BARRY. IT’S HEADED INTO THE MEXICO COASTLINE AS WE SPEAK RIGHT NOW. NOT A THREAT TO THE UNITED STATES, BUT JUST WANT TO UPDATE YOU GUYS ON THAT. THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS LOOKS PRETTY WET MONDAY AND TUESDAY, ESPECIALLY SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENINGS WITH HIGHS IN THE UPPER 80S. AND THEN WE’RE BACK IN THE 90S
