Today’s skies will be filled with haze as wildfire smoke to our north is penetrating into the Tennessee Valley. It’ll stay quite hot over the next few days with highs well up in the 90’s, but there is likely to be some relief by the time we get to the weekend. In terms of rainfall, showers and thunderstorms are possible later today, tonight and on Wednesday and any storm that forms can be on the strong side.

More than ten inches of rain has fallen during the past 30-days in virtually every state from Florida-to-Maine. These excessive rainfall amounts are quite impressive considering the fact that tropical moisture has not really been involved in the overall weather pattern other than perhaps across Florida earlier in the tropical season. In fact, the heart of the Atlantic Basin tropical season lies ahead beginning typically during the month of August and continuing into October with the climatological peak right around the middle of September. There is nothing yet on the horizon for the eastern US in terms of tropical activity; however, there is a concern that should a tropical system impact this region in coming weeks, the currently very well saturated grounds could set the stage for some flooding issues.

Any shower or storm that forms in this extended period of unsettled weather can result in heavy downpours across the northern part of Alabama.
