Drier Air Arrives Wednesday
RADAR CHECK: A blanket of moist air continues to over over Alabama this morning like a wet sponge… and we have a number of showers on radar at daybreak…
The sky will feature more clouds than sun today with scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms. A few spots will see heavy rain, but no organized severe weather is expected. The high today will be in the low 80s for most communities.
Not much change tomorrow; a few showers and thunderstorms are likely as a cold front approaches Alabama from the north. No “all day” rain, but occasional showers with a high close to 80 degrees, which is below average for early June in Alabama.
A CHANCE TO DRY OUT: We believe the surface front will have enough southward push to make it through Alabama tomorrow night, followed by a nice surge of dry, continental air on Wednesday. We are forecasting sunny days with lower humidity, and clear cool nights Wednesday through Friday. A good chance we visit the upper 50s early Thursday and Friday morning. Very pleasant weather for June in Alabama.
THE ALABAMA WEEKEND: For now it looks like the dry air will stay in place; mostly sunny weather will continue Saturday and Sunday with warmer afternoons; highs will creep into the 85-89 degree range with lows in the 60s. There is a decent chance we go shower-free for five consecutive days (Wednesday through Sunday), which is pretty rare for the Deep South this time of the year.
NEXT WEEK: Moisture air returns, and we will bring back the chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms Monday, and it looks like that will stay in the forecast on a daily basis through Friday (June 16) with highs in the 80s. See the Weather Xtreme video for maps, graphics, and more details.
TROPICS: The Atlantic basin is quiet, and tropical storm formation is not expected this week.
