More storms tonight, some intense with loud thunder
Sunday: A complex of storms will be weakening and pushing away to our southeast around sunrise with additional hit/miss showers and downpours possible through lunch. Expect some periods of sunshine during the afternoon as highs creep into the middle 80s, feeling like the low 90s.
Next Week: Temperatures will remain very warm to nearly hot in the upper 80s and even lower 90s for some on Monday and Tuesday with most of us staying dry outside of a quick passing shower. As the humidity remains quite oppressive, heat index values these days will reach the middle 90s! Be sure to have plenty of water for those afternoon and evening youth practices.
Weather Aware Tuesday Night:
4 PM Tuesday – 4 AM Wednesday
A complex of strong to severe storms are expected to push across central Alabama sometime late Tuesday evening into the wee hours of Wednesday morning. Confidence is low on the exact timing, so this will be updated over the coming days. Storm threats include damaging straight-line winds of 60-70+ MPH and up to ping-pong ball size hail. Be sure to check back for updates.
The storms Tuesday night will be along a cold front which will push through here early Wednesday, clearing out the storms and muggy, warm weather for a few days. Temperatures will fall into the middle 70s for highs on Thursday and Friday with overnight lows settling in the low/mid 50s!
This air will feel refreshing as we round out the work week combined with plenty of sunshine. Highs may climb back to the low 80s by Saturday with a small chance of rain.

NYC flooding pours into subway as state declares emergency
STORY: :: Chantal McLaughlin :: Flooding in New York City pours into the subway as the state declares an emergency :: July 31, 2025 :: New York :: Train service has been suspended in some parts of the city :: Newark, New Jersey Reuters was able to independently verify the location of the videos by the New York City subway design that matched file imagery as well as confirmation by the source. The date when the video was filmed was verified by original file metadata. Train service has been suspended in some parts of the city as a state of emergency was declared for the Bronx, Delaware, Dutchess, Kings, Nassau, New York, Orange, Putnam, Queens, Richmond, Rockland, Suffolk, Sullivan, Ulster, Westchester and Contiguous Counties. New York Governor Kathy Hochul and her acting counterpart in New Jersey said they were declaring states of emergency for areas facing the threat of extreme flash floods forecast on Thursday (July 31) for much of the Eastern Seaboard. The National Weather Service posted flash flood warnings along parts of the Northeast urban corridor stretching from the Washington-Baltimore region north through Philadelphia, Wilmington, Delaware, and into the New York City metropolitan area. Severe thunderstorm watches were also in effect across much of the Interstate-95 corridor. Up to 5 inches (12.7 cm) of rain was forecast in the heaviest bands of showers expected across New York City, Long Island and the Hudson River Valley, with rainfall rates that could exceed 2 inches per hour, according to a statement from Hochul. The Weather Service attributed the storm threat to a cold front that was bringing a combination of unstable air mass and exceptional amounts of atmospheric moisture to the region.

NFL season kicks off under fall-like conditions for annual Hall of Fame game
CANTON, Ohio – Football fans gathered in Northeast Ohio for the start of the NFL's 2025-2026 season on Thursday, not under the blazing summer heat, but under conditions that felt more like September than late July or early August. Forecasts from the National Weather Service called for temperatures in the mid-60s with breezy winds in Canton, offering a comfortable backdrop for the league's Hall of Fame Game preseason opener between the Detroit Lions and Los Angeles Chargers. The crisp air was a stark contrast to just a day earlier, when temperatures soared to around 90 degrees and large sections of the country remained under a persistent heat dome. Detroit entered the game following a 15–2 regular season, though its playoff run was cut short in the Divisional Round. The Chargers also made the playoffs in 2024 but were eliminated during the Wild Card Round. 2025 Nfl Season Schedules: Weather Extremes That Will Impact Games The first game of the regular season is scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 4, when the Philadelphia Eagles will host the Dallas Cowboys under the lights at Lincoln Financial Field. Since kickoff will occur after sunset, temperatures in the City of Brotherly Love likely won't be at their peak, which typically hovers around 83°F during the first week of meteorological fall. One of the hottest games of the year is expected when the Arizona Cardinals host the Carolina Panthers on Sept. 14 - a date that, in past years, has seen temperatures soar well above 100°F. Fortunately for fans attending the Week 2 matchup, State Farm Stadium is equipped with a retractable roof and full air conditioning, mitigating the impact of the heat on players and spectators. 5 Nfl Stadiums That Could Get A Roof To Protect Fans, Players From Weather Because the game will be played indoors, on-field temperatures won't be as extreme as those expected in Jacksonville, Florida. Due to the luck of the draw and the league's scheduling, the Panthers could also find themselves in what may be the season's hottest outdoor game. The Sept. 7 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars at EverBank Stadium is set for a 1 p.m. kickoff, during the peak of afternoon heat. In early September, North Florida's average high hovers around 89 to 90°F, not accounting for humidity and other elements that can push the heat index to 100 °F or higher. Another contender for the season's hottest game is the September matchup between the New England Patriots and Miami Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium. Thanks to the daily sea breeze, Miami's temperatures can be slightly more bearable compared to inland areas, but the humidity still makes for steamy, sweltering article source: NFL season kicks off under fall-like conditions for annual Hall of Fame game

The Grand Canyon fires are getting bigger and less contained. Here's what's happening.
The Dragon Bravo fire has officially become the 10th-largest wildfire in Arizona history. The breathtaking vistas of Arizona's Grand Canyon region are currently shrouded in smoke as one of the state's most significant wildfires in recent history continues to burn out of control. The Dragon Bravo Fire, which ignited on July 4th from a lightning strike, has exploded into a massive blaze that now ranks among the top 10 largest wildfires ever recorded in Arizona. And thanks to weather patterns, it's still growing. The Grand Canyon fires won't quit What started as a typical summer lightning strike has transformed into a monster fire covering more than 105,000 acres, an area larger than the city of Phoenix. To put that into perspective, that's roughly 164 square miles of charred landscape north of the Grand Canyon. Despite the efforts of more than 1,000 firefighters, the blaze remains only 4% contained, a figure that has actually decreased as the fire continues its scorching march northward. The fire's explosive growth has been nothing short of dramatic: Just one week earlier, on July 22nd, the Dragon Bravo Fire had burned a relatively modest 13,662 acres and was 26% contained. However, a perfect storm of conditions — bone-dry vegetation, critically low humidity levels, and powerful wind gusts — turned the manageable blaze into an unstoppable force of nature. Communities under threat from the Grand Canyon fires The human cost of this natural disaster extends far beyond acres burned. Entire communities have been forced to evacuate as the fire threatens homes, businesses, and beloved landmarks. The North Rim area of the Grand Canyon received "GO" evacuation orders, meaning residents had to leave immediately. While some areas like Jacob Lake have been downgraded to "READY" status, allowing residents to return but remain prepared to evacuate again, the threat remains very real. The famous Kaibab Lodge, the park's entrance station, and Buffalo Ranch are among the structures that firefighting crews are working around the clock to protect. These aren't just buildings — they're pieces of Arizona's heritage and vital infrastructure for the millions of tourists who visit the Grand Canyon each year. (In case you missed it, the historic Grand Canyon Lodge already succumbed to the flames.) The Grand Canyon region presents challenges that make this battle particularly difficult: The rugged, remote terrain makes it nearly impossible to get heavy equipment to the fire lines. Firefighters often have to hike miles with their gear, working in steep canyons and rocky outcroppings where one wrong step could be deadly. The North Rim's elevation and geography create their own weather patterns, with unpredictable winds that can shift direction without warning, turning a controlled burn into a raging inferno in minutes. These same winds that helped create the Grand Canyon's magnificent formations now work against the brave men and women trying to contain the Dragon Bravo Fire. Looking ahead As Arizona continues to battle multiple Grand Canyon fires — including the 58,985-acre White Sage Fire, which is thankfully 83% contained — the Dragon Bravo Fire shows us how quickly nature can turn from beautiful to destructive (and how we can think we're on top of something and then, all of a sudden, nature takes back over). The Grand Canyon's North Rim will remain closed for the rest of 2025, affecting countless vacation plans and local businesses that depend on tourism. While the immediate focus remains on protecting lives and property, this fire will likely leave lasting changes to one of America's most treasured landscapes, reshaping both the ecosystem and our understanding of wildfire management in this era of extreme weather.
