NICE PREVIEW OF AUTUMN: What a delightful afternoon across the great state of Alabama. Lots of sunshine, low humidity, and comfortable temperatures. Many communities north of Birmingham did not get out of the 70s with a fresh north breeze.
We are still look at a very cool night tonight for late July, with record lows likely early tomorrow…
Most communities will enjoy a low between 57 and 61 degrees, with a few low to mid 50s over the northeast counties. Interesting to note that Montgomery should easily break a 125 year old record low for July 30.
The weather will remain very pleasant tomorrow with ample sunshine and low humidity.
THURSDAY/FRIDAY: Low level moisture will slowly return on these days. We will mention just a small risk of a shower Thursday afternoon, with a better chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms Friday. Highs will be in the mid to upper 80s.
THE WEEKEND: The pool of moisture stays in place, and the chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue Saturday and Sunday with a mix of sun and clouds both days. The rain won’t be continuous over the weekend, but a shower could come at just about any hour, so make outdoor plans accordingly. Highs will remain generally in the 86-89 degree range.
Some evidence more dry air could drop into Alabama around Tuesday of next week with lower humidity levels by then. See the Weather Xtreme video for the maps, graphics, and details.
GULF COAST WEATHER: Look for sunny weather along the Gulf Coast tomorrow and Thursday from Panama City west to Gulf Shores with highs in the mid to upper 80s. A few scattered showers and storms are possible Friday through the weekend, but you will still enjoy about 6 to 8 hours of sunshine each day. Sea water temperatures are mostly in the mid 80s.
TROPICAL UPDATE: A well organized wave over the Central Atlantic is expected to become a tropical depression tonight or tomorrow, and ultimately Tropical Storm Bertha. Late model data suggests Bertha will begin to weaken in 4-5 days as it begins to recurve into the open Atlantic, and for now this does not seem to be a threat to the U.S. mainland.
WEATHER BRAINS: Don’t forget you can listen to our weekly 90 minute netcast anytime on the web, or on iTunes. This is the show all about weather featuring many familiar voices, including our meteorologists here at ABC 33/40.
