A Mighty Fine Day Out There In Central Alabama At Midday

| October 16, 2017 @ 12:29 pm

Conditions Across Central Alabama At 12:20 PM

At this point, much of Central Alabama is free from any cloud cover. The only location seeing clouds at this point are in the south and southeastern parts of the area, but those will soon be gone as well. No rain out there at this point, as drier and cooler air has worked into much of the area at this time. Temperatures are ranging throughout the 60s in the area, with Eufaula as the only spot in the 70s, currently at 71 degrees. Birmingham is currently at 64 degrees.


 

What To Expect For The Rest Of Your Monday

Skies will continue to clear out in the southeastern parts of the area, and all of Central Alabama will have clear skies as we move into the late afternoon and early evening hours. Afternoon highs will be in the mid to upper 60s throughout much of the area, with a few 70s possible in the southern parts. Skies will be clear throughout the overnight hours as well, with lows dropping sown into the mid-40s to the lower 50s.


 

Sunny Skies And Mild Temperatures Throughout the Week

Tuesday through Thursday in Central Alabama will be absolutely fantastic. Sunny skies and mild temperatures will be the main headline, as the standard dry pattern that you normally see in the area during October has arrived. Afternoon highs will be in the 70s. Overnight lows will be in the 40s and 50s.


 

A Slight Warming Trend For The Central Alabama Weekend

We’ll have a ridge setting up over the southeast for the weekend ahead of a trough that will be bringing rain chances back into the forecast for the following Monday. We’ll have slightly warmer temperatures and slightly higher dewpoints, but skies will be mostly clear on Friday through Sunday. Highs will be in the upper 70s to the lower 80s and overnight lows in the 50s.


 

The Tropics

Invest 92L is currently located to the north-northeast of the Turks and Caicos Islands, and has shown some signs of strengthening. Winds are near tropical storm force but the disturbance still lacks a well-defined center. Some development may occur today and tomorrow, but further development after that will be highly unfavorable as it will merge with a frontal system. At this point, there is only a 40% chance of it developing into a tropical depression or storm.
