Mostly Dry Through Sunday
DRIER PATTERN: As advertised, much drier covers Alabama this afternoon, with dew points down into the 50s over the northern half of the state at mid-afternoon. The sky is mostly sunny, and you can just about count the number of showers on one hand. Those showers are lined up from near Wetumpka to Pineapple… they are small, isolated, won’t last long. Temperatures are close to 80 degrees; the average high for June 7 is 86 (for Birmingham).
Tonight will be fair and pleasantly cool… most communities will drop into the upper 50s early tomorrow morning.
TOMORROW: Mostly dry weather continues, although we will mention a chance of isolated showers over East and Northeast Alabama as a lobe rotates around the back side of the upper trough over the eastern third of the nation. The sky will be mostly sunny with a high between 82 and 85 degrees.
THE WEEKEND: Still dry. Mostly sunny warm days, fair pleasant nights. Highs in the 86-90 degree range Saturday and Sunday. Moisture levels will creep up Sunday, and we might consider mentioning a small risk of a shower by afternoon, but the chance of any one spot getting wet is so low we won’t mention it for now.
NEXT WEEK: Moist air returns, and it looks like a very typical June week. Partly sunny days with the risk of “scattered, mostly afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms” each day… high in the 80s. See the Weather Xtreme video for maps, graphics, and more details.
TROPICS: The Atlantic basin remains quiet, and tropical storm formation is not expected through the weekend.
