A check of the radar at 8:00 this morning gives credibility to the idea that Memorial Day plans north of I-20 will be rain-free for a good portion of the morning and midday hours. There are still light showers and sprinkles scattered around Walker, Tuscaloosa, Jefferson, and Shelby Counties, and there is more widespread light rain south of a line from Clanton to Wedowee to Ranburne in Cleburne County. The back edge of the more widespread rain is eroding away and moving slowly eastward; however, a new round of showers near Meridian, Mississippi right now will move east-northeast into areas mainly south of I-20 through the midday and early afternoon hours.
Storms along the Gulf Coast are interrupting the flow of warm, moist air northward this morning, and as long as the heaviest rain stays down there, we will escape with at the worst, periods of drizzle and light showers in the Birmingham metro area through the afternoon. The best news of all though is that no severe weather is expected today, so make the best of the day and keep an umbrella close by. Oh, and sandals probably aren't the best choice of footwear in weather like this!
Have a great Memorial Day!
