Hot Afternoons; Only Isolated Showers
RADAR CHECK: A glance of the radar at 3:00 this afternoon showers only one shower in the entire state, near Cullman. Otherwise, we have a mix of sun and clouds with temperatures mostly in the upper 80s. A isolated showers will remain possible through the evening hours.
MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND: Not much change. While a few isolated showers are possible, many communities will remain dry through Monday with partly sunny days and fair nights. The high tomorrow will be in the mid to upper 80s, and very close to 90 Sunday and Monday.
NEXT WEEK: Guidance is trending hotter for Tuesday and Wednesday, with low 90s likely thanks to the upper ridge. But, the chance of rain should increase toward the end of the week and the following weekend (June 4-5) as a fairly deep upper trough forms west of the state. See the Weather Xtreme video for maps, graphics, and more details.
TROPICAL UPDATE: The disturbance northeast of the Bahamas is now Tropical Depression Two… it will bring showery and breezy weather to the Carolinas this weekend along with rip tides. This system will have no impact on Alabama or the Gulf Coast. If it gets a name, it will be “Bonnie”.
AT THE BEACH: Mostly sunny days, fair nights on the coast from Panama City Beach to Gulf Shores through early next week with only very isolated showers. Highs in the low 80s on the immediate coast, with upper 80s inland. See a very detailed Gulf Coast forecast here.
SEC BASEBALL TOURNAMENT: Most of the weekend will be dry; just a chance of isolated showers in Hoover. Partly sunny days, fair nights, highs 87-90 degrees. Get information about the big event here.
