Mostly quiet Monday followed by week of potential storms
FIRST, THIS IS WVTM 13 WEATHER. WELL, TUESDAY IS AN IMPACT DAY, NOT ALL OF US ARE GOING TO SEE INTENSE THUNDERSTORMS, BUT THOSE WHO DO COULD GET WIND GUSTS OVER 40 LOCALLY. HEAVY RAINFALL, SOME SMALL HAIL, FREQUENT LIGHTNING, VERY SIMILAR TO THE WEATHER THAT WAS COMING THROUGH CENTRAL ALABAMA ABOUT 24 HOURS AGO. I CAN’T TELL YOU THIS MUCH. I DON’T THINK THAT WE HAVE A LOT OF WIDESPREAD STORMS NORTH OF THE BIRMINGHAM AREA. THE MAJORITY OF THE HEAVY THUNDERSTORMS THAT COME THROUGH ON TUESDAY LIKELY GOING TO BE IN THIS ZONE ACROSS CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI INTO WEST CENTRAL ALABAMA. JUST LIKE THAT. SO THIS IS THE HOT SPOT THAT WILL BE WATCHING FOR THE MOST INTENSE STORMS. BUT EVEN FROM BIRMINGHAM NORTHWARD, THERE WILL STILL BE SOME RAIN AND OCCASIONAL SHOWERS AND STORMS THROUGHOUT THE MORNING. IN PARTICULAR, 6 A.M. TO 9 A.M. WESTERN ALABAMA, THE CENTRAL PART OF THE STATE, BIRMINGHAM, CULLMAN ONEONTA SPRINGVILLE PELL CITY. CHELSEA ALABASTER SYLACAUGA CLANTON NINE ONE TO NOON IS THE BEST TIME TO EXPECT SOME SHOWERS OR A FEW STORMS AND THEN THOSE STORMS TRANSITION OVER TOWARD THE EAST BETWEEN MIDDAY AND 5 P.M. MIGHT SEE A BRIEF STORM REDEVELOP TOMORROW AFTERNOON. NOT A LOT HAPPENING OUT THERE ON WVTM 13. LIVE DOPPLER THIS EVENING, BUT THERE HAVE BEEN SOME BIG STORMS DOWN TO OUR SOUTH. IN FACT, A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING STILL IN EFFECT IN THE WIREGRASS IN SOUTHEAST ALABAMA AND OVER TOWARD SOUTHWEST GEORGIA. A FEW MORE STORMS FIRING UP OUT HERE OVER TEXAS, PART OF A DISTURBANCE THAT WILL MOVE THIS WAY. AND LIKELY HELP TO SET OFF THE THUNDERSTORMS IN THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD. SO, REMEMBER, WE LOOK AT THAT ZONE, CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI, INTO WEST CENTRAL ALABAMA OVERNIGHT, RIGHT THROUGH EARLY TUESDAY. WATCH THE SIMULATED RADAR HERE, 9:00 IN THE MORNING, A FEW LOCALLY HEAVY STORMS AROUND GREENE, HALE, MARENGO AND SUMTER COUNTIES, SCATTERED SHOWERS ELSEWHERE FROM JEFFERSON COUNTY, NORTHWARD UP THROUGH JASPER AND CULLMAN, OCCASIONAL SHOWERS THROUGH THE MORNING. AND THEN THE HEAVIER ACTION STARTS SHIFTING DOWN TOWARD THE MONTGOMERY AREA. BY TOMORROW AFTERNOON. AND TOMORROW EVENING, A FEW LEFTOVER SHOWERS AND STORMS FARTHER NORTH. SO TOMORROW WE START OUT IN THE MID 60S IN BIRMINGHAM, BUT IT’LL BE IN THE 50S UP AROUND CULLMAN AND GADSDEN. YOUR BEST CHANCE OF HEAVIER THUNDERSTORMS. SOUTH OF BIRMINGHAM, HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 70S AND LOWER 80S WITH A LIGHT WEST BREEZE WIND TODAY ANOTHER IMPACT DAY THUNDERSTORMS LIKELY IN MULTIPLE WAVES HERE. FREQUENT LIGHTNING, STRONG WIND GUSTS AS WELL AS SOME FLASH FLOODING COULD OCCUR AS WE JUST GET WAVE AFTER WAVE OF STORMS FROM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT. SCATTERED STORMS GOING TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE WEEKEND, TOO. ALL IN ALL, RYA
