Drier Days Ahead For Alabama
RADAR CHECK: We have a number of scattered showers and thunderstorms in progress across Alabama this afternoon… most of them are east of a line from Huntsville to Tuscaloosa to Livingston, and they are moving slowly to the southwest. A few heavy downpours, but not much lightning and nothing severe. Showers and storms will end tonight after the sun sets.
Temperatures remain pretty pleasant for late July; most communities are in the 80s this afternoon.
REST OF THE WEEK: Drier air means few, if any showers tomorrow through Friday. Chance of any one spot getting wet over the northern half of the state is only around 10 percent; we are forecasting partly to mostly sunny days and fair nights. The high tomorrow will be close to 90, followed by low 90s Thursday and Friday.
THE ALABAMA WEEKEND: Not much change; expect a good supply of sunshine Saturday and Sunday with only isolated afternoon showers or thunderstorms… much of the weekend will be dry. The high both days will be in the 89-92 degree range.
NEXT WEEK: Moisture levels begin to rise, and with an upper trough developing to the west the first half of the week looks fairly unsettled with scattered to numerous showers and storms Monday through Wednesday… the latest global model runs are trending a little drier by Thursday and Friday. Highs will be mostly in the 80s. And, the latest CPC temperature outlook issued this afternoon suggest temperatures around here will be below average August 1-7.
TROPICS: The Atlantic basin remains very quiet, and tropical storm formation is not expected for the rest of the week and the weekend.
