Alabama’s weather this week calls for what the National Weather Service often calls a “rinse and repeat” forecast.

Today (Sunday) through at least Thursday will bring daily chances of scattered rain and storms to the state, according to weather service forecasters.

There’s a chance rain chances could lower next weekend, but heat levels could also climb.

Summertime storms can be intense at times, and the weather service said storms this week could bring gusty winds and heavy rain.

The most likely time for storms each day will be the afternoon and evening hours, according to forecasters.

Saturday’s storms were intense at times in the state, prompting multiple severe thunderstorm warnings.

The weather service offices across the state got several reports of downed trees, with at least one falling on a house, as well as reports of flash flooding on Saturday.

Radar estimates Saturday evening suggested parts of Lamar and Pickens counties got nearly 7 inches of rain in one day, according to the weather service.

Scattered storms will be possible again today statewide, but as of Sunday morning no part of the state was included in a severe weather risk area from NOAA’s Storm Prediction Center.

Here’s Sunday’s severe weather outlook, which shows general thunderstorms will be possible statewide but no severe weather:

The same will be possible on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, according to forecasters, hence the “rinse and repeat” title for the forecast.

The weather service will also be watching the tail end of the week, when there will be the potential for higher temperatures. Those, combined with high humidity levels, could mean heat advisories in the state, but it’s too soon to say for sure.

Forecasters said there are indications of the heat index, or “feels like” temperature, getting into the triple digits by next weekend.

Dan Lanning doesn’t do everything the way Nick Saban used to do it.

However, the Oregon coach’s one-year stint in 2015 under the former Alabama coach left one lesson over all other etched in his brain, and it can be summed up in one word: Consistency.

“I just always felt that he’s always got a rubric of every situation and how you handle this, how you develop this,” Lanning told Greg McElroy on the “Always College Football” podcast. “The one thing I always learn from coach is how consistent he was in everything he did.

“On Tuesday, I’m gonna to meet with this position group at this time.

“I would say that’s not necessarily me, right? We’re similar in the sense there’s things we want to do things consistently. But it’s always good to take a backseat, pick his brain a little bit on how is it developing leadership in young guys. ‘Here’s the three things that I did, Dan,’ and walk me through that.”

Lanning certainly has seen a track record for success. The Ducks are coming off a Big Ten title, and the coach has an impressive 35-6 overall record in three seasons.

“I’m always gonna lean on the best to do it when it comes to things like that,” Lanning said.
