We are expecting a very nice warm-up today; with ample sunshine the high will be in the low 50s, almost at seasonal averages for January 19 (Birmingham’s average high today is 54).

Alabama’s weather will remain dry over the weekend, and the warming trend continues. With a mix of sun and clouds, we project a high in the upper 50s tomorrow, and mid 60s Sunday. Temperatures should stay above freezing Sunday morning; first time that has happened since January 11.

NEXT WEEK: Clouds thicken Sunday night, and rain returns to the state Monday thanks to a cold front trailing a deep surface low over the Great Lakes. Some thunder is possible, but with hardly any surface based instability severe storms are not expected…. and rain amounts will be around 1/2 inch. Then, for the rest of the week, the weather looks dry with seasonal temperatures; highs in the 50s and lows in the 30s. The GFS suggests the next chance of rain comes around Sunday January 28. See the Weather Xtreme video for maps, graphics, and more details.
