Warm Weather Continues; Showers Return Later This Week
WARM ENDING FOR APRIL: Temperatures are mostly in the mid 80s across Alabama at mid-afternoon; we have some mid and high level clouds that have moved in, keeping us from reaching the upper 80s so far.
TOMORROW/THURSDAY: Not much change in the weather tomorrow and Thursday, we expect highs in the mid 80s both days with a mix of sun and clouds. There will be sufficient moisture for a few isolated showers, but most communities will stay dry.
FRIDAY AND THE WEEKEND: Showers will become more likely across the state on Friday and Saturday as a weak surface front approaches from the north. A thunderstorm or two is possible as well, but no severe storms are expected. The rain on these days won’t be a “washout”… but just know that a few passing showers are possible. The sky will feature more clouds than sun, and the high will be in the 80-83 degree range.
Drier air will move into the state Sunday; the day will be warm and dry for the northern two-thirds of the state with a high in the low 80s. A few showers are possible over the southern third of Alabama Sunday, but even there rain amounts should be light and spotty.
NEXT WEEK: Monday and Tuesday look warm and dry with a high in the 80s, then there will be some risk of showers on a daily basis Wednesday through Friday, but no sign of any severe weather issues. See the Weather Xtreme video for maps, graphics, and more details.
