Thunderstorms certainly overperformed in northern Alabama Tuesday evening and Tuesday night, and a few more severe storms are possible through the morning for our northern counties. Officially, there was just a slight chance of rain, but we saw several severe thunderstorms develop, lasting much longer than expected.

Although the official forecast doesn’t include rain or storms for the rest of the state, we’re going to go ahead and include the possibility of an isolated shower or thunderstorms throughout Alabama simply because it’s going to be so hot and so humid. Most of us will remain dry with dangerous heat possible, but we saw during the last 24 hours that anything that develops could strengthen quickly. Anyone working or playing outdoors should remember the rule of “when thunder roars, head indoors.”
