Only Isolated Showers Later Today; Most Places Stay Dry
NOT MUCH CHANGE THROUGH THE WEEKEND: The overall weather pattern won’t change much through the weekend for Alabama, but we will mention the risk of a few isolated showers or thunderstorms later today and early tonight. Chance of any one spot getting wet is only about one in five, otherwise today will be partly sunny with a high close to 90 degrees.
Tomorrow, Saturday, and Sunday look dry for North/Central Alabama with mostly sunny days and fair nights. Heat levels will be down a tad with afternoon highs mostly in the 87 to 90 degree range, not far from average values for early June.
NEXT WEEK AND BEYOND: Dry weather will continue Monday and Tuesday, but a pattern change will bring a chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms over the latter half of the week. Afternoon highs much of the week will be in the upper 80s to near 90. Global model output suggests we will continue to see the opportunity of scattered showers and storms on through mid-June. See the Weather Xtreme video for maps, graphics, and more details.
RAIN UPDATE: Birmingham has gone 13 consecutive days without measurable rain, and the surplus for the year is down to 0.53″ as of today.
