First Alert Weather: More scattered storms, possible cooler nights by this weekend

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WBRC) - The coverage of showers and storms remained very isolated today, but we do have some rainfall activity still on radar tonight, mainly along the 278 corridor. The chance for wet weather will remain very low for Wednesday. So, plan for another hot day, with plenty of sunshine, and highs near 90º; the wind will be west at 5 to 15 mph. A stray shower or storm could remain on radar during the evening hours.

THE NEXT BIG THING will be a front that drops in from the north on Thursday. There is a chance this front could arrive early in the day, which means we could see some shower and storm development in the morning, especially across northern areas. As temperatures start rising into the 80s, the deeper moisture will be settling into southern areas, so the afternoon coverage will greatly favor areas south of I-20. Once the scattered storms and showers exit to the south, we will enter a period of dry weather, which will continue through Saturday. We will have noticeably cooler nights, with lows near 60º by Friday morning, possibly upper 50s in outlying areas. The next big chance for storms will arrive late on Sunday.

WEATHER RADIO EVENT WEDNESDAY: We will be programming weather radios from 2 p.m. until 6 p.m. on Wednesday in Eutaw, AL at Mills Pharmacy. If you need to purchase a radio, they will be available at Mills. If you already have a weather radio stop by and we can make sure it is programmed.
