RADAR CHECK: We have a few scattered showers on radar Alabama this afternoon; otherwise the sky is mostly cloudy with temperatures in the 70s. Showers will fade early tonight, expect a low in the 57-63 degree range early tomorrow morning.
TOMORROW THROUGH THE WEEKEND: Afternoons will stay very mild through Saturday with highs in the mid to upper 70s for most places; a few spots across South Alabama might even touch the 80 degree mark Saturday. While a few isolated showers are possible each day, most communities will remain dry. A surface front will begin to sag southward across Alabama Sunday; it will bring the risk of scattered showers and slightly cooler air; highs Sunday afternoon will be in the 66-74 degree range.
NEXT WEEK: Showers become more numerous Monday as the front stalls out over North Alabama, but the most widespread rain will likely come on Tuesday and Wednesday as a wave of low pressure moves along the front. Rain amounts on these two days will be in the 1-2 inch range for Alabama, and cooler air drops southward Wednesday when North Alabama will hold in the 50s during the afternoon.
Thursday looks dry, but global models suggest more rain could move into the state Friday. There is still no sign of any snow, ice, or bitterly cold air for Alabama for the next 10 days… See the video briefing for maps, graphics, and more details.
