We will warm quickly today with sunshine in full supply; we project a high in the 87-90 degree range this afternoon. But, humidity levels will stay low.

AIR QUALITY ALERT: There is an “code orange” air quality alert for the Birmingham metro today (Jefferson and Shelby Counties) due to ground level ozone.

TOMORROW/FRIDAY: Not much change as a dry airmass stays in place over North/Central Alabama… sunny days, clear nights. Maybe a few widely scattered storms near the Gulf Coast, but even there will be a good supply of sunshine. Heat levels creep up with afternoon highs rising into the low 90s.

THE ALABAMA WEEKEND: Moisture levels will rise, and for Saturday we are forecasting a partly sunny day with a few random, scattered, mostly afternoon and evening showers or thunderstorms. The high Saturday will be close to 90 degrees. Moisture will be a bit deeper Sunday, so scattered showers and storms will be a bit more numerous; otherwise a mix of sun and clouds with a high between 85 and 89.

The chance of any one spot getting wet Saturday is in the 30 percent range; and 40 percent Sunday.

NEXT WEEK: Pretty routine June weather is the story with a moist airmass in place… partly sunny days with the continued chance of random, scattered showers and thunderstorms, most likely during the afternoon and evening hours. Highs will be in the upper 80s and low 90s on most days. See the Weather Xtreme video for maps, graphics, and more details.

TROPICS: The Atlantic basin remains very quiet, and tropical storm formation is not expected. But, over in he eastern Pacific, we have the first tropical storm of the season. Tropical Storm Aletta is off the west coast of Mexico, and is expected to become a hurricane tomorrow night. But, it is moving out to sea and will stay far from land.
