Birmingham, Alabama – Rain-weary residents across Alabama should brace for yet another soggy stretch, with heavy showers and thunderstorms expected daily through at least Thursday.
According to the National Weather Service in Birmingham, the state will remain locked in a rinse-and-repeat pattern of elevated rain chances from June 16 through June 20. Cities including Birmingham, Tuscaloosa, Montgomery, and Anniston face 70–85% rain chances each day, with localized downpours and brief flooding possible during stronger storms.
Across central and eastern Alabama, communities like Gadsden, Selma, and Troy could also see daily rain totals stack up quickly, particularly during peak afternoon hours. The heaviest rainfall could lead to ponding on roads, reduced visibility, and slick commutes, especially along I-20 and I-65 corridors.
Forecasters urge residents to monitor local alerts, avoid flooded roads, and be prepared for sudden downpours. Keep phones charged, secure outdoor items, and allow extra travel time. While severe weather is not guaranteed, brief gusty winds and isolated lightning strikes may accompany some storms.
This wet weather pattern may linger into next weekend, with updates expected daily. Rainfall totals could top 2–3 inches in some areas before drier air returns.
