Midday Nowcast: Gradual Clearing and Breezy

Drier air is moving into Alabama today and the sky is clearing slowly. Our winds will become breezy at times the rest of today gusting at 20-25 mph out of the northwest. Temperatures this afternoon are in the upper 60s to lower 70s. Tonight will be clear and chilly with lows in the upper 30s and lower 40s.

QUIET WEATHER PATTERN: An upper ridge builds in across the region in the coming days, meaning dry weather is here through the weekend. Tomorrow will be a sunny day with a high in the mid to upper 60. The sky stays mostly sunny Wednesday through Friday with a warming trend. The high Wednesday will be in the mid 70s Wednesday, followed by low 80s Thursday, and mid 80s Friday.

WARM WEEKEND WEATHER: Get ready for the warmest weekend so far this year across Alabama; we are forecasting highs in the mid to upper 80s Saturday and Sunday…the sky will be partly to mostly sunny both days.

NEXT WEEK: We could see a few showers return to the northern half of the state Monday, but most of next week looks quiet as the ridge remains in place. No sign of any severe weather threats for Alabama at this point for the rest of April.
