IMPACT DAY: Strong Storms Likely this evening into Thursday morning (2024)

THERE THAT COULD BE A POSSIBILITY FOR SURE. THIS TIME OF YEAR WE GET SOME OF THOSE STRONG THUNDERSTORMS THAT PRODUCE VERY STRONG WINDS. NO ORGANIZED SEVERE THREAT FOR US HERE OVERNIGHT, BUT THERE COULD BE SOME STORMS THAT DO PRODUCE GUSTY WINDS. WE WATCH EVERYTHING CAREFULLY THIS TIME OF THE YEAR LIVE. LOOK ACROSS THE REGION. WE’RE LOOKING PRETTY GOOD. WE’VE GOT A MIX OF SUN AND CLOUDS WITH MORE SUN THAN CLOUDS AND A LOT OF SPOTS. AND CHECK OUT THOSE TEMPERATURES MID TO UPPER 80S. SO FEELING VERY SUMMER LIKE AND THROUGH THE EVENING WE ARE LOOKING AT THE POSSIBILITY OF SOME SUMMERLIKE THUNDERSTORMS. AT THIS POINT. RADARS GENERALLY QUIET, WITH THE EXCEPTION BEING A SMALL SHOWER SITTING JUST SOUTH OF HAMILTON. RIGHT ALONG I 22. BUT AS WE ZOOM OUT HERE, CAN I GIVE YOU THE FULL PICTURE? WE’VE GOT TWO DIFFERENT AREAS OF THUNDERSTORMS. WE’RE WATCHING THE FIRST TIER MOVING NORTHWARD FROM THE SOUTH, AND THEN THE SECOND, THESE THUNDERSTORMS THAT ARE DEVELOPING THERE INTO A LINE OVER MISSISSIPPI, THOSE ARE HEADED OUR WAY THROUGH THE EVENING AS WELL. AS I MENTIONED, NO SEVERE OR REALLY ORGANIZED SEVERE THREAT, I SHOULD SAY, BUT WE COULD HAVE A STRONG STORM OR TWO OVERNIGHT WITH SOME GUSTY WINDS. THEY COULD ALSO PRODUCE HEAVY RAIN, FREQUENT LIGHTNING, AND SOME LOUD THUNDER. INTO EARLY TOMORROW WE’LL HAVE A TEMPERATURE DURING THE MORNING HOURS NEAR 70 WITH SOME PASSING SHOWERS AND STORMS POSSIBLE THROUGH THE MORNING COMMUTE. WE’VE ACTUALLY GOT A FRONT MOVING IN, SO WHAT THAT’S GOING TO DO IS HELP TO CLEAR US FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST. THAT MEANS TOMORROW, DURING THE FIRST HALF OF THE DAY, WE’RE MORE LIKELY TO HAVE RAIN AND THUNDER FOR LOCATIONS SOUTH AND EAST OF THE CITY OF BIRMINGHAM, WHERE WE HAVE THE DARKER GREEN COLORS HERE. THERE ARE GOING TO BE SOME FOLKS THAT DON’T SEE MUCH IN THE WAY OF RAIN TOMORROW, SO LET’S TIME THAT OUT. THIS IS 6 A.M. TOMORROW MORNING. A TEMPERATURE SITTING VERY CLOSE TO 70 DEGREES. WE DO HAVE CLOUDS AROUND AND SOME PASSING SHOWERS AND STORMS, ESPECIALLY SOUTH OF I-20. OUT AHEAD OF THIS FRONT. FRONT KEEPS SLOWLY MOVING THROUGH DURING THE DAY AND IT’S SOUTH OF THAT FRONT WHERE WE COULD KEEP A FEW THUNDERSTORMS INTO THE AFTERNOON HOURS. BUT A LOT OF FOLKS END UP DRY AND PLEASANT THROUGHOUT THE SECOND HALF OF THE DAY. TOMORROW. AND THEN BEHIND THIS FRONT, WE ARE GOING TO START TO REALLY FEEL THE CHANGES AS WE HEAD INTO FRIDAY. SO THIS IS A LOOK AT OUR DEW POINT TEMPERATURES. THIS TELLS US HOW PLEASANT IT FEELS OUTSIDE. AND YOU SEE HOW THOSE TEMPERATURES ARE DROPPING INTO THE 50S. WELL THAT MEANS OUR HUMIDITY IS LOWER ON FRIDAY. AND ALTHOUGH WE’VE GOT A TEMPERATURE IN THE MID 80S DURING THE AFTERNOON WITH DEW POINT TEMPERATURES IN THE 50S, THAT MEANS IT IS NOT GOING TO FEEL VERY STICKY OR HUMID. AND THAT REALLY STAYS WITH US INTO THE WEEKEND AS WELL. FOR AT LEAST THE FIRST HALF OF THE WEEKEND. ON SATURDAY WE’VE GOT A VERY PLEASANT MORNING FOLLOWED BY A MOSTLY SUNNY DAY AND A TEMPERATURE IN THE MID TO UPPER 80S. SUNDAY HUMIDITY STARTS TO INCREASE. THAT’S GOING TO ALLOW FOR JUST A SMALL CHANCE OF A FEW HIT AND MISS THUNDERSTORMS ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON WITH A HIGH IN THE UPPER 80S, BUT I DID WANT TO HIGHLIGHT SATURDAY FOR YOU AND TAKE A LOOK THESE MORNING LOWS. IF YOU ARE SOMEONE WHO MAYBE LIKES TO DO A WALK OR A JOG, OR MAYBE JUST BE OUTDOORS SATURDAY MORNING IS GOING TO BE A FANTASTIC MORNING TO BE OUTSIDE. WE’VE GOT TEMPERATURES GENERALLY IN THE 50S AND 60S THANKS TO THAT DRIER AIR IN PLACE THAT ALLOWS US TO COOL VERY EFFECTIVE. SO OVERNIGHT WE’VE GOT SOME SCATTERED RAIN AND THUNDER, VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT WE HAD LAST NIGHT. THE FIRST HALF OF THE DAY TOMORROW WILL FEATURE SOME PASSING SHOWERS AND STORMS, ESPECIALLY FOR LOCATIONS SOUTH AND EAST OF THE CITY OF BIRMINGHAM. AND THEN FRIDAY
