Our rain chances we’ve been expecting all week finally arrive Thursday and Thursday night, but the chances are not as great as they were in earlier models. Only central Alabama has the “showers likely” tag.

We also have a chance for some isolated to scattered thunderstorms for most Alabama communities. These storms could have brief heavy rain and strong wind, but the tornado chance is very low.

We now have Tropical Storm Tammy in the Atlantic Ocean. Right now, we’re expecting the front that’s bringing us some rain chances to eventually turn Tammy to the north, away from the United States.
