...Scattered Storms on the Increase...

STORMS ON THE INCREASE: We should continue to see a general increase
in the number of showers and thunderstorms across Alabama today, as
moisture increases, and the upper ridge over the Southeast U.S.
weakens. Like yesterday, most of the showers and storms will come
during the afternoon and evening hours, and the chance of any one spot
getting wet today is about one in three.

The coverage of showers and storms will increase even more tomorrow as
a surface front approaches from the west, supported by an upper level
trough. Look for scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms
tomorrow, with rain potential between one-half and one inch for most
communities across Alabama. And, heat levels will be dropping; the
high tomorrow should be only in the low 80s for most places, with
upper 70s possible for some places across North Alabama due to clouds
and rain.

FRIDAY AND THE WEEKEND: Showers should move out of Alabama Friday
morning, and drier air returns Friday afternoon. We could see a few
stray showers Friday morning, especially over East Alabama, but the
sky should become partly to mostly sunny by afternoon with lower
humidity levels. The weekend looks dry, with warm afternoons and
pleasant nights. Lots of sunshine can be expected Saturday and Sunday
with a high between 87 and 90 degrees both days. The dry weather
should linger into early next week.

GULF COAST WEATHER: About 4 to 6 hours of sunshine each day through
Friday with a daily chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms. The
weekend will feature mostly sunny weather Saturday and Sunday with
only isolated showers. Highs will remain mostly in the low 80s along
the coast from Panama City to Gulf Shores, and the sea water
temperature at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab last night was still in the
low 80s, at 81 degrees (F).

TUESDAY'S STORMS: NEXRAD estimates suggested over 3 inches of rain
came down late yesterday across parts of Tallapoosa County. Pea sized
hail was reported in the northeast part of Tuscaloosa along with gusty
winds, and nickel sized hail came down in parts of the city of
Montgomery from a passing storm.

WR-100 Midland NOAA Weather Radio, the best selling model in the
