Up north, Hazen, North Dakota reports a frosty 37 degrees at 5a CT.

Today will be mostly sunny and pleasant; the high will be in the mid 80s with low humidity.

TONIGHT/TOMORROW: A disturbance coming down the back side of the upper trough over the eastern U.S. will bring some clouds into Alabama tonight, and it could squeeze out a few light showers over the far northern counties of the state early tomorrow morning. Most of the state will stay rain-free, however, and tomorrow will be partly to mostly sunny with a high in the upper 80s.

Dry weather continues Wednesday with a good supply of sunshine and a high back in the upper 80s.

THURSDAY/FRIDAY: A southerly flow will bring moist air back into the state, and we will need to bring back the chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms, mostly during the afternoon and evening hours. Coverage of the showers and storms should be a tad more numerous Friday, otherwise a mix of sun and clouds both days with highs in the mid 80s.

THE WEEKEND/FOURTH OF JULY HOLIDAY: Looks like fairly routine summer weather Saturday through Tuesday. Partly sunny, humid days with the daily round of “scattered, mostly afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms. Understand these showers and storms will be rather random, and there is no way of knowing exactly when and where they pop up. The chance of any one spot getting wet will be in the 30/40 percent chance each day, and most of the showers and storms will come between 2 and 9 p.m.

Not much change is expected for the rest of next week with a moist airmass in place; highs will be mostly in the mid to upper 80s. No sign of any excessive heat issues for Alabama for the next 10-15 days.

TROPICS: All is now quiet across the Atlantic basin, and tropical storm formation is not expected through the week.
