Sunday June 7 brings an expanded statewide rain chance as moisture levels continue to rise across Alabama. Most locations will carry a better than 50 percent chance of seeing at least one passing shower or storm during the day, with storm activity expected to be most active during the afternoon and evening hours. Highs Sunday will drop slightly to the low 80s near 81 degrees for Birmingham before temperatures rebound during the early part of next week as the pattern continues to evolve.
