The Storm Prediction Center has the northern half of the state in a Level 2 Slight Risk this afternoon and evening, with the rest of Alabama south of I-20 in a Level 1 Marginal Risk. A front is pushing through and will focus a line of stronger storms tonight, with gusty winds and microbursts the main threat. Scattered activity is already firing across Mobile and Baldwin Counties and up into Sumter, Marengo, and Choctaw.
Temperatures are running just a step lower than earlier in the week, but still hot. Livingston is at 99, Tuscaloosa 98, Demopolis and Selma 97, Clanton and Geneva 97, and Montgomery 94. Tuscaloosa is still riding a five-day triple-digit streak, but is likely to fall just short today.

Tennessee storms this morning mostly stayed north of the state, though a few showers tried to approach Lauderdale County. A front is nudging in and should focus another round of scattered thunderstorms across the state this afternoon and evening. The northern half of the state is under a Level 2 out of 5 Slight Risk, while the southern half remains under a Level 1 Marginal Risk from the Storm Prediction Center, with downbursts and gusty winds as the main threat.
Temperatures are already in the 90s in Birmingham, Gadsden, Tuscaloosa, and Montgomery. Highs run into the low to mid 90s across the north and mid to upper 90s across the south, with a few spots nearing 100. Tuscaloosa is on a stretch of five straight days with triple-digit temperatures. Heat advisories still cover the state from I-22 south through this evening, and feels-like va...

Classic summer mix ahead today, sun, heat, and scattered thunderstorms across Alabama. An MCS is pouring rain into Nashville this morning, and a few of those storms have slid south into the Tennessee Valley over parts of Limestone, Madison, and Jackson Counties. Most of the state stays dry through the morning, with cloudy skies from Decatur to Tuscaloosa and mostly clear at Troy. Fairhope had a brief thunderstorm early last night before things settled down.
The better chance of rain arrives after noon. All 67 Alabama counties sit in a Level 1 Marginal Risk from the Storm Prediction Center. That doesn't mean it will rain everywhere, but where storms do fire they could pack a punch, with strong straight-line winds and the occasional microburst the main concern. Odds of any one spot getting a storm today run about 30 to 40 percent.

A mixed bag across Alabama tonight, sun and heat for some, with storms for others. The Tennessee Valley stayed dry with an evening SkyCam view of clear conditions from Moulton to Huntsville, dewpoints in the 60s making a rare August appearance to the north. Meanwhile, a summer soaker hit western Tuscaloosa County and Mobile Bay. Dothan had a wet microburst come through Ashford this afternoon causing some damage.
Tomorrow, Alabama is under a Level 1 out of 5 Marginal Risk for severe storms from the Storm Prediction Center, with strong winds as the main threat. High school football kicks off tomorrow night and again Friday, and the chance any one spot gets a storm runs about 4 in 10 tomorrow and 3 in 10 Friday.

Scattered storms are firing across the western and southern quarters of the state, right on cue with the Storm Prediction Center's Marginal Risk. Choctaw and Sumter Counties are picking up showers along the Mississippi line, and a heavier cell is working through eastern Tuscaloosa County into western Jefferson. Escambia and Covington Counties are also seeing storms fire up, though everything has stayed sub-severe so far.
Heat advisories run through this evening, and it shows up in the feels-like readings. Chatom and Mobile push near 112 this afternoon, Gulf Shores around 109.

A beautiful sunrise is developing through patches of valley fog, and the statewide radar is quiet after robust thunderstorms clipped parts of the Tennessee Valley and South Alabama yesterday. Heat levels are down a little today, with highs mostly in the 90s.
Scattered afternoon storms are most likely across the southern counties, with a few possible over western Alabama. Tomorrow may bring a better chance to southwest Alabama, but storms will be widely spaced and any one location has only a 20 to 30 percent chance of getting wet.
The 7-day pattern stays summery and random, with a daily storm chance. Heat levels gradually ease, and both North and South Alabama trend toward low 90s by the weekend.
Rainfall will be uneven because storms will be scattered rather than widespread. The Atlantic basin is also quiet, with no ...

A hot, muggy August morning is underway, with clear skies from Florence to the Gulf Coast and temperatures already in the upper 70s and 80s. The summer ridge is strong enough to cap most shower development, setting up another day of heat with highs from 95 to 100 and heat index values well above 100.
Any storm that develops later today through Wednesday will be isolated, but it could be strong. The main story is very limited coverage, followed by a modest increase in scattered showers and storms Friday through Sunday as the ridge shifts west.
The seven-day pattern brings low 90s by Friday, Saturday, and Sunday in both North and South Alabama. Rain stays spotty rather than widespread, with the southern quarter favored for a little more activity late in the week and over the weekend.

Heat indices are already in the triple digits before noon, and heat advisories remain in effect statewide through the weekend. Extreme heat warnings could be issued for parts of the state if index values push into the 110 to 115 range. Values in the 105 to 110 range look very common across the state each afternoon.
Highs today land in the 95 to 100 range, with Tuscaloosa, Demopolis, and Montgomery good candidates to touch 100. Lows tonight only fall to the mid to upper 70s, so it's a war...

- Description
- James Spann presents the Alabama Weather Network statewide forecast for Friday morning, August 14, 2026.
A warm sunrise gives way to a furnace-like afternoon as an upper-level ridge strengthens across the Deep South. Most of Alabama will reach 95 to 100 degrees, while isolated afternoon showers and storms are most likely over the eastern and southern counties.
The seven-day pattern stays hot, sticky, and steamy through early next week. Heat continues Monday with highs in the upper 90s, then levels slowly come down late next week.
Rainfall remains spotty today, with only about a one-in-five chance for any particular location to get a shower or storm. There is no broad soaking rain signal in this forecast, so most places will stay dry while a few neighborhoods catch a brief downpour.

Much of the state stayed hot and dry today, but East Alabama got the fireworks. A severe thunderstorm rolled through Opelika around 3 o'clock this afternoon with pretty good sized hail and strong winds. Temperatures there crashed from the 90s all the way to 72 during the downpour before recovering to 80 this evening. Auburn caught a good soaker as well, and pockets of deep convection fired across parts of East Alabama and Georgia. Everything has moved on to the east and things are quiet this evening.
The heat has been the bigger story. Montgomery officially hit 101 for a high today. Selma reached 99 and Tuscaloosa 97. Fairhope is 89 with a dewpoint at 80, about as muggy as it gets. That is the hottest weather we've seen so far this summer, and it looks like this is the pattern for the foreseeable future.

Most of the state is hot and dry this afternoon, but a few scattered showers and thunderstorms are firing. East central Alabama has isolated cells, and a heavier one has weakened over Jackson County. Bigger cells over Coosa and Tallapoosa Counties are pushing toward southern Chambers County and heading for Lee County and Auburn. Down on the coast, a stronger cell is moving along I-10 across eastern Baldwin County. None are severe, but any storm that develops can pack heavy rain, gusty winds, and frequent lightning.
The heat is the bigger story. Feels-like values are well into the triple digits across most of the state, and some spots are approaching 110. Heat advisories remain in effect statewide through the weekend.
Lows tonight only fall to the mid to upper 70s, so it's a muggy overnight and a warm start to Friday. Tomorrow ...

It's pretty calm across the state as we look at satellite and radar this morning. Lots of sunshine, hardly any showers, just a few that moved through the Gulf Coast earlier. Temperatures are already hot with 90 in Anniston, 92 in Birmingham, 92 in Monroeville, and Oneonta already at 95. Dewpoints are in the 70s statewide.
Heat indices are running well into the triple digits before lunch. Heat advisories are in effect for the entire state through the weekend, with values reaching near 110 possible.
Highs today climb into the mid to upper 90s, and a few spots on the western side of the state could touch 100. Lows tonight only fall to the mid to upper 70s, so it's a muggy overnight and a warm start to Friday. An upper level ridge is building in with surface high pressure and sinking air, which keeps organized storm systems well to the nort...

- Meteorologist James Spann brings your Alabama Weather Network statewide forecast for Thursday morning, August 13, 2026.
A warm sunrise is underway from north Alabama to the Gulf Coast, but the larger story is the upper ridge building across the Deep South. That ridge keeps the main storm track north and leaves Alabama in a hot, steamy summertime pattern.
Mid-90s are expected for most of Alabama today and tomorrow. Showers and storms will be random and widely scattered, with the best window from noon to midnight and about a 20 percent chance at any one spot. Any storm could still produce gusty winds, heavy rain, and tremendous lightning.
The weekend turns hotter, with upper 90s statewide and a few western spots potentially touching 100. Morning lows remain in the 70s, and widely scattered daytime storms continue through next week.
Rain relief is limited in this pattern. The only cooling shower comes from random daytime heating storms, ...

Storms today were more isolated than yesterday, and everything remaining will fade quickly after sunset.
The big story is the heat, as per usual in August. Temperatures this evening are still hot at the dinner hour. Areas that saw showers earlier are running cooler in the 80s.
Tomorrow morning starts in the 70s and climbs to the mid 90s statewide, then Friday looks the same. Upper 90s take over for Saturday and Sunday, and a spot or two will likely touch 100, especially over on the western side of South Alabama. Heat index numbers ride even higher thanks to dewpoints near 80.
Rain chances stay locked in around 2 in 10 the rest of the week and much of next week with this ridge in place, so most spots stay dry. Gulf Coast looks beautiful with sunny days, fair nights, and no tropical trouble on the horizon.

- Meteorologist Sadie Morris brings your Alabama Weather Network statewide forecast for Wednesday afternoon, August 12, 2026.
Isolated showers and storms are firing across the northern and eastern sliver of the state this afternoon while much of the south stays dry and sizzling. Rain has been scattered through Franklin, Lawrence, Morgan, Montgomery and Lee Counties.
Heat advisories now cover the entire state after the National Weather Service in Mobile joined Huntsville and Birmingham in issuing them. Feels-like numbers are running in the triple digits, with humidity making it feel much hotter than the actual temperatures.
The Storm Prediction Center has a Marginal Risk of severe storms, level 1 of 5, for the far northern sliver and the eastern portion of the state, mainly for gustier winds. Fast rain rates are the other concern, with a chance of localized flash flooding, similar to yesterday.

Heat advisories continue for much of the central and north central portions of the state, and feels-like temperatures are already breaking triple digits before lunch.
Most of the state is dry with plenty of sunshine, aside from a quick rain shower moving north of the beaches along I-10. The far northeastern corner of the state sits under a Marginal Risk of severe storms and a Marginal flash flood risk today, similar setup to yesterday when flash flood warnings had to be issued for Cherokee County.
Highs this afternoon climb into the mid to upper 90s. Lows tonight stay above average in the mid to upper 70s.
A strong ridge, is bullseyed over Alabama through Friday and into the weekend. Upper 90s will become the story by Sunday, and rain chances drop to about 2 in 10.

It's mid-August, it's going to be hot, it's going to be humid, and somebody's going to see a storm this afternoon, maybe some strong winds again today especially for the northern and eastern counties. The Storm Prediction Center has painted a Marginal Risk of severe storms, level 1 of 5, for areas north and east of a line from near Muscle Shoals down to about Phenix City. Storms could produce very heavy amounts of rain, strong winds, and a lot of lightning, and they should start firing after 12 noon.
Yesterday's storms in east and northeast Alabama packed a punch with heavy rain and scattered wind damage, but the state starts this morning calm and rain-free. We're on the eastern periphery of an upper high and this Ring of Fire pattern keeps the storm chance focused across the northern and eastern counties. Down at the Gulf Coast, weather loo...

Most of Alabama has been hot and dry, but the far northeastern corner picked up some summer storms with parts of northern Cherokee County reporting 3 to 5 inches of rain over just a few hours, prompting flash flood warnings this afternoon.
Showers across Jackson, DeKalb, Cleburne, Calhoun, Etowah, Marshall, and parts of Madison Counties were scattered throughout the afternoon as well. Everywhere else stayed rain-free with low to mid 90s for highs.
Tomorrow morning starts in the 70s and highs push into the mid to upper 90s by the late afternoon. Some of the hottest weather we've seen all summer is on the way as an upper ridge builds in from the west. Rain chances tomorrow only about 1 in 5.

Plenty of sunshine across Alabama, and with it comes increasing temperatures. Heat indices are already breaking triple digits at midday, and the National Weather Service has put much of the state under heat advisories through the middle of the week.
Highs today land in the low to mid 90s, but with dewpoints in the mid to upper 70s, feels-like numbers push into the upper 90s to triple digits.
Wednesday is more of the same with highs bumping into the mid to upper 90s. Rain chances stay limited all week thanks to a ridge parked over the southeast, and most spots pick up only trace amounts to a quarter or half inch of rain through Monday.
By Thursday, Friday, and into the weekend, we're looking at the potential for upper 90s and rain chances dropping.
