The marine warm front is onshore in coastal Alabama, and the radar tells the story — heavy showers and storms already moving from coastal Mississippi into Mobile County. Places like Bayou La Batre and Coden are next in line, with the potential for ponding on local roads. Inland, the rest of the state is dry under a mix of cumulus and cirrus and 80s warming through the afternoon.

Today's rain stays mostly confined to southwest Alabama — Thomasville, Monroeville, Atmore, Jackson — with maybe a passing shower into Montgomery, Selma, or Greenville this evening. The bigger shift comes tomorrow as Gulf moisture overspreads the state. Sunday looks fairly widespread with showers and storms, frequent lightning, gusty winds, and heavy downpours, though not severe and not a washout. Keep the AWN app handy to dodge the splash-and-dash storms.

Monday tightens the focus to north of I-20 with a passing trough, leaving the southern two-thirds mostly dry. Tuesday turns the spotlight on the Tennessee Valley, then Wednesday eases into a more typical scattered summer pattern. Highs climb into the upper 80s and low 90s by the end of the week, with overnight lows holding around 70 and heat index values pushing 100 in south Alabama.

Rainfall over the next seven days favors the northwestern half of the state at three-quarters to nearly two inches, while southeast Alabama — still dealing with significant drought — looks to come out on the lighter end again.

Fog hanging low along the Tennessee River this morning is a good reminder: the atmosphere is loaded up with moisture again — and the Gulf is ready to push that humid air inland today.

Most of Alabama stays mostly dry into mid-afternoon, but southwest Alabama becomes the bullseye as a marine warm front lifts north. Showers and thunderstorms will be capable of loud thunder, frequent lightning, and brief downpours that can overwhelm low spots — especially around Mobile and Baldwin Counties.

Sunday turns into a more active, on-and-off wet day for much of the state with scattered storms passing through at times. It won’t be a total washout, but you’ll want to keep tabs on the radar as plans shift from one neighborhood to the next.

By Monday, the focus slides north with more showers and storms for the northern half of Alabama, then we settle into a more typical early-summer rhythm later in the week — with the heaviest rain favored in the northwest while southeastern Alabama may miss out again.

An October blue sky made a June cameo today — and it came with a gift: dewpoints in the 50s and a day that actually felt comfortable across Alabama.

We’ll hang onto that drier air for most of Saturday, but the first spotty showers will try to sneak into the southwest (generally south of Tuscaloosa toward Mobile) as moisture starts easing back in.

By Sunday, scattered showers and thunderstorms become a statewide thing as humidity ramps up — not an all-day washout, but enough to keep you checking the radar if you’ve got outdoor plans. After that, the pattern trends drier again later next week while temperatures climb back toward the upper 80s and around 90.

For the first time ever, Alabama is hosting three baseball Super Regionals in the same weekend — Troy, Auburn, and Tuscaloosa. Pretty remarkable. The good news is the weather plays along for first pitches: Troy at 5 PM tonight, sunshine and 84; Auburn at 8 PM, mid-70s and mostly clear; Alabama late tomorrow night at 9 PM, around 77 with some clouds.

Across the state today, it has been beautiful — sunshine winning out, highs in the 80s, and a slow climb back of humidity in the southwestern half. Selma is at 88, Birmingham 85, Huntsville 82, with Monte Sano and Mount Cheaha down to 76 thanks to elevation. Lows tonight settle into the low 60s up north, mid to upper 60s south, and 70s at the coast — the run of unusually cool mornings is winding down.

Tomorrow afternoon, showers and storms flare up in southwest Alabama — Washington, Choctaw, Sumter, and adjacent counties. North and east Alabama largely stay dry through Saturday. Sunday looks more active across the northern half of the state, with a smaller chance for scattered storms farther south. By Monday, lows are stuck in the 70s and an upper-level ridge starts to build in, knocking rain chances back and pushing highs into the upper 80s and near 90 through midweek.

At the coast, the look is gorgeous but the water is not — rip current statements, high surf advisories, and small craft advisories remain in effect through the weekend and may get extended.

This week, James Spann visits the Wallace Community College Dothan campus to speak with Vernon Johnson about the impact the college has on the region’s healthcare workforce. Their conversation highlights the quality of medical professionals coming from Wallace and the vital role the college plays in preparing the next generation of healthcare providers, with many of the team members at Dale Medical Center beginning their careers there.

The dry-air spell that has carried us through the week is starting to soften. A few more clouds drifted in across north and southwest Alabama overnight, and dewpoints are creeping back up — already into the low 70s along Mobile Bay, with the moisture gradient slowly sliding east across the rest of the state.

Today is still a great one. Lots of sunshine away from a few clouds, highs in the low to mid-80s and a few upper-80s spots, with Montgomery and Dothan potentially approaching 90. If anything pops on radar, it'll be a quick, light shower in the far southwestern corner — most of the state stays dry.

Tomorrow afternoon, more widespread showers and storms move into southwest Alabama as that deeper moisture spreads, while north and east Alabama largely stays dry. Sunday brings the broader scattered shower and storm chance to the northern half of the state, with southwest and southeast Alabama trending drier than earlier model runs had suggested.

Looking ahead, an upper ridge builds in next week, knocking rain chances back down and pushing highs into the upper 80s and near 90 — a return to a more typical early summer feel. Rainfall over the next seven days favors the northwest part of the state, where another inch or two is possible, while parts of southeast Alabama stay on the drier end. And at the coast, the surf is still rough with red flags up — beautiful to look at, but not safe to be in.

50s. In June. That's how a lot of Alabama woke up this Friday — Double Springs at 54, Cullman and Gadsden at 55, Clanton at 57, plenty of low 60s elsewhere. Toss in a few high clouds for texture and you've got one of the prettier sunrise mornings of the year.

Today stays mostly rain-free statewide with full sunshine and afternoon highs in the 80s. Humidity hangs onto the low side — a comfortable June day with no real storm chances to talk about, save for maybe a stray shower in the far southwestern corner of the state.

The pattern shifts this weekend. Dewpoints come up, the air gets stickier, and scattered showers move into southwest Alabama Saturday — Mobile and Baldwin over toward Escambia, Monroe, Washington, and Clarke counties. Sunday the deeper moisture spreads statewide, and the classic hit-or-miss summer storm pattern carries into Monday and Tuesday before thinning out midweek as an upper ridge builds back in. Highs climb toward 90 down south by Wednesday and Thursday. Rain over the next seven days varies a lot — close to 2 inches around the Shoals, just a tenth or two for the southeast corner.

If the coast is on your radar today, the weather looks gorgeous — but the surf is still very rough and the rip current risk is high. Be careful in the water.
