TOMORROW THROUGH THE WEEKEND: No change, as the upper ridge over the eastern U.S. holds. Partly sunny, very warm days, fair nights, and isolated afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms. The chance of any one spot getting wet each day is only about one in five. Highs remain mostly in the upper 80s.
UPPER RIDGE HOLDS: Looks like we will be locked into a warm, humid weather pattern through early next week, and we are going to roll with a persistence forecast for the next five to seven days. An upper ridge over the eastern half of the nation means summer-like weather hangs on; partly sunny days, fair nights, and just a few isolated showers or storms during the afternoon and evening hours.
RADAR CHECK: As expected, showers today are very isolated across North/Central Alabama…. most places are very warm and dry with temperatures in the mid to upper 80s. The few showers we have will dissipate soon after sunset.
FOGGY START: We have a dense fog advisory in effect this morning for much of Central and East Alabama; some of the lowest visibilities are in places like Anniston and Gadsden. Conditions will improve by mid-morning. An upper ridge will keep Alabama very warm for the rest of the week with highs in the 87-90 degree range most afternoons.
