Alabama's weather forecast: Rain and storms stick around through the weekend

追加: 2026-06-01

[00:00:01]THE ACTIVITY OF DOPAMINE.

[00:00:05]WE’VE HAD SOME ACTIVITY ON THE RADAR FOR THE PAST SEVERAL HOURS, MAINLY JUST RAIN.

[00:00:11]IT’S CLOUDY OUT IN MAGIC CITY, 79 DEGREES HERE IN BIRMINGHAM, 84 IN PELL CITY, 84 IN TALLADEGA, 82 IN ALEX CITY, AND 80 DOWN THERE IN BRENT AS WELL.

[00:00:20]HERE’S THE FIRST WARNING.

[00:00:21]LIVE RADAR.

[00:00:22]A COUPLE OF SHOWERS DOWN IN HILL COUNTY, A COUPLE MORE IN CHEROKEE AND CHAMBERS COUNTY CLEBURNE COUNTY, AND THEN THE MAJORITY OF THE RAIN IN OUR VIEWING AREA IS OVER.

[00:00:32]PARTS OF WINSTON, FAYETTE, LAMAR AND WALKER COUNTY.

[00:00:34]THE GOOD NEWS IS NO THUNDER OR LIGHTNING WITH THIS YET, THE MORE RAIN WE ACTUALLY GET THIS MORNING, THE LESS THUNDER AND LIGHTNING WILL ACTUALLY SEE LATER ON TODAY.

[00:00:42]HERE’S A FIRST WARNING FUTURE TRACK IS NOT DOING WELL AT ALL RIGHT NOW.

[00:00:45]TYPICALLY WE WANT TO SEE WHAT THE RADAR IS ALSO SEEING ON THE MODEL.

[00:00:49]AND WE’RE JUST NOT SEEING THAT.

[00:00:51]AND IT’S POINTING TOWARDS SOME CLUSTERS OF THUNDERSTORMS MOVING ACROSS SELMA MONTGOMERY AND CLANTON BY 3:00.

[00:00:57]I’M NOT COUNTING ON THAT.

[00:00:58]BUT THE IDEA IS WE DO SEE SOME DEVELOPMENT AROUND THREE.

[00:01:01]WHETHER IT’S THIS FURTHER NORTH, FURTHER SOUTH, OR EVEN SCATTERED, WE WON’T KNOW UNTIL IT STARTS TO HAPPEN.

[00:01:05]A LOT OF IT HAS TO DO WITH THE TEMPERATURE.

[00:01:08]RIGHT NOW.

[00:01:08]TEMPERATURES ARE HIGHER ACROSS EAST ALABAMA, SO I’D IMAGINE WE START TO SEE MORE ACTIVITY THERE FIRST.

[00:01:15]BUT THIS IS 8 P.M. FRIDAY EVENING.

[00:01:17]THIS EVENING, EVEN AFTER THAT BATCH COMES IN AND DEVELOPS OUT IN GEORGIA, WE SEE MORE COMING IN FROM THE WEST.

[00:01:23]SO JUST PLAN TO HAVE THAT RAIN JACKET AND UMBRELLA HANDY.

[00:01:26]ANY SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM THAT WE SEE THIS EVENING WILL LIKELY BE BRIEF.

[00:01:30]IT’S GOING TO MOVE OUT AND NOT TOO MUCH TO WORRY ABOUT.

[00:01:33]NOT EXPECTING ANY SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER TODAY.

[00:01:35]THIS IS 5:00 SATURDAY MORNING.

[00:01:37]LOOKS LIKE WE COULD SEE SOME ACTIVITY OVERNIGHT.

[00:01:39]WE HAVE A STATIONARY FRONT DRAPED OVER US THAT’S KEEPING ENOUGH LIFT FOR AT LEAST SOME FORM OF PRECIPITATION OVERNIGHT.

[00:01:45]LIKELY JUST SHOWERS AT TIMES.

[00:01:47]HEAVY RAIN.

[00:01:47]THIS IS 4 P.M. SATURDAY.

[00:01:49]WE WASH, RINSE, REPEAT.

[00:01:50]MORE DOWNPOURS AND THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE COME SATURDAY EVENING, AND THAT WILL CLEAR OUT BY LATE SATURDAY NIGHT.

[00:01:55]AND THEN WE REPEAT THE SAME THING SUNDAY AS WELL.

[00:01:58]WHEN EVERYTHING IS ALL SAID AND DONE, A QUARTER TO UP TO AN INCH OF RAINFALL, ESPECIALLY ACROSS EAST ALABAMA, THANKS TO SOME MOISTURE COMING IN FROM THE GULF, THAT CONTINUES TO SURGE INTO THE SOUTHEAST FROM MISSISSIPPI TO ALABAMA, FLORIDA, GEORGIA.

[00:02:12]AND EVENTUALLY WE START TO SEE SOME DRIER AIR COME IN.

[00:02:16]THAT DOESN’T KICK IN UNTIL TUESDAY MORNING, BUT THAT’S GOING TO LOWER RAIN CHANCES TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY OF NEXT WEEK.

[00:02:24]SO THIS WEEKEND, SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS, MAINLY IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

[00:02:27]HIGH SATURDAY IN THE MID 80S.

[00:02:29]SUNDAY IN THE LOW 80S.

[00:02:30]HERE’S A LOOK AT THE HEAT INDEX.

[00:02:32]OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS.

[00:02:33]IT’S GOING TO BE PRETTY HIGH.

[00:02:36]FRIDAY, SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.

[00:02:37]AND THAT’S DUE TO THE HUMIDITY.

[00:02:40]THE HEAT INDEX IS THE TEMPERATURE WITH RESPECT TO THE HUMIDITY.

[00:02:44]IT FACTORED IN HOW HEAVY IT REALLY FEELS OUTSIDE.

[00:02:46]SO WHEN THE HUMIDITY DROPS, AS I JUST SHOWED YOU, ESPECIALLY ON TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY, THE HEAT INDEX IS GOING TO DROP WITH IT.

[00:02:53]SO THE TEMPERATURES ARE IRRELEVANT.

[00:02:54]RIGHT NOW.

[00:02:55]IT’S THE HEAT INDEX THAT’S REALLY GIVES YOU AN IDEA OF WHAT IT FEELS LIKE OUTSIDE.

[00:02:59]BUT BY THE TIME WE GET INTO WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY, THAT HEAT INDEX BECOMES NONEXISTENT AND WE HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE TEMPERATURES STILL BE IN THE MID 80S.

[00:03:06]BUT THAT ALSO MEANS COME WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY, IT’S GOING TO FEEL LIGHTER.

[00:03:11]DESPITE THAT 80 DEGREE HEAT.

[00:03:12]SO HERE’S YOUR SEVEN DAY FORECAST.

[00:03:14]PLENTY OF RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS WITH THE HUMIDITY THROUGH MONDAY.

[00:03:17]LOWS IN THE 60S.

[00:03:18]HIGHS IN THE 80S.

[00:03:20]SUNSHINE RETURNS TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY A
