Mostly Dry Tomorrow Through Friday

| June 28, 2016 @ 3:25 pm

RADAR CHECK: As expected, the majority of showers and storms across Alabama this afternoon are south of I-20; drier air is filtering into the northern counties. Heat levels are way down; temperatures are in the 80s in most places thanks to a persistent cloud cover.

Tonight will be mostly fair; showers over Central and South Alabama will end soon after dark.

TOMORROW THROUGH FRIDAY: These days will be generally shower-free over the northern half of the state; we expect mostly sunny days and fair nights; highs will be generally in the low 90s, and humidity values will be a bit lower tomorrow and Thursday. Any showers will be confined to the southern counties of the state, and even there they will be pretty widely scattered.

FOURTH OF JULY WEEKEND: Not much change Saturday and Sunday; moisture levels will slowly rise, and a few afternoon showers or storms could pop up, but they should be few and far between. Days will be partly to mostly sunny with a high in the low 90s. Scattered showers and storms will be a little more numerous on Monday (July 4), but even then it won’t be a “wash-out”.

Then, for the rest of next week we expect very routine summer weather with partly sunny, hot, humid days and the risk of “scattered, mostly afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms”. Highs will be in the low to mid 90s, close to average values for July in Alabama. See the Weather Xtreme video for maps, graphics, and more details.

TROPICS: All remains quiet across the Atlantic basin, and tropical storm formation is not expected through the Fourth of July weekend.

AT THE BEACH: About 6 to 8 hours of sunshine daily on the coast from Gulf Shores over to Panama City Beach with the daily threat of scattered thunderstorms. Highs will be close to 90 on the immediate coast, with low to mid 90s inland. Very typical weather for late June and early July. The sea water temperature this afternoon at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab is 87 degrees. See a very detailed Gulf Coast forecast here.
