A frontal system will increase our rain chances this week. Hello, I'm Meteorologist, Lauren Whisenhunt.
The high pressure system that has kept us dry the past week has moved eastward, allowing moisture to gradually return to Alabama with warm, southeasterly winds.
An area of disturbed weather in the Northern Gulf of Mexico is streaming moisture northward into the Florida Panhandle and Southern Alabama today. This system is producing heavy amounts of rain and lots of lightning. Models have been indicating this for a few days now. Although for now, it looks like the best chances for rain with this system will be south of a line from Selma to Lafayette, AL.
For today, expect a slight chance for showers, mainly during the afternoon/evening hours with the daytime heating. A better chance for showers and thunderstorms on Wednesday as the frontal system gets a little bit closer to us. Highs will remain in the low to mid 80's. Thursday, expect another good chance for showers and thunderstorms. Some of these storms could be strong to severe. The Storm Prediction Center has us under a slight risk for severe thunderstorms on Thursday. Stay with CBS 42 and we'll keep you posted!
