Midday Nowcast: Another Sunny Day
Not much change in the day to day forecast the next several days as high pressure at the surface and a ridge in the upper levels will keep Alabama’s weather sunny, dry, and warm during the afternoons, with clear and cool nights. Highs today will surge into the upper 70s for most locations across North/Central Alabama. Tomorrow, should see afternoon highs head into the 80s for many spots.
WEEKEND WEATHER: It will be the warmest weekend so far this year as temperatures will range from the upper 70s to mid 80s across all of Alabama both Saturday and Sunday. We will have more clouds in the sky as times, as moisture levels rise over the weekend, but the weekend will be dry.
ACTIVE WEATHER NEXT WEEK: A cold front will bring showers and thunderstorms back to the state Monday. There will be some surface based instability available, so a few strong storms are possible, but at the moment it doesn’t look like a classic severe weather setup with the main dynamics pulling away to the northeast.
Tuesday will be a cooler and drier with a clearing sky and a high in the upper 50s. The rest of next week looks to feature more rain at times, but the exact timing is still uncertain due to model inconsistencies. Temperatures next week should feature highs in the 60s. We do note, towards the end of next week, a sharp cold front looks to arrive, bringing much colder air back to Alabama…Growers Beware, don’t go catching the spring fever just yet!!!
