THIS WEEKEND: Ridging will continue to hold strong over the area today that will keep it hot, humid, and very little in the way of shower and thunderstorm chances for the afternoon and evening. Highs will top out in the lower to mid 90s.

A weak trough will begin to move toward the area on Sunday that will bring a higher chance for scattered afternoon and evening showers and storms to Central Alabama. A strong storm or two may be possible. Highs in the lower to mid 90s.

NEXT WEEK: Rain chances will stay elevated on Monday as that weak trough will begin to move westward through the area. Scattered showers and storms will be possible, especially during the afternoon and evening. Highs will be in the upper 80s to the lower 90s.

We’ll continue to have a good chance of scattered showers and storms on Tuesday, especially during the afternoon and evening, as the trough continues to slowly move through. Highs in the upper 80s to the lower 90s.

Another stronger trough will work into the area late on Wednesday that will bring an elevated chance of scattered to numerous showers and storms well late into the afternoon and evening, with some activity continuing into the overnight hours. Highs in the mid 80s to the lower 90s.

The trough will swing a front through the area on Thursday that will continue to bring an elevated chance of scattered to numerous showers and storms. Highs in the mid 80s to the lower 90s.

And at the end of the forecast period on Friday… It will be a very nice day with a good bit of sunshine and only a very small chance of an isolated shower or storm. Highs in the upper 80s to the lower 90s.

THE TROPICS: All remains calm across the Gulf of Mexico, the Caribbean Sea, and the tropical Atlantic Ocean, and no new tropical systems are expected to form over the next five days.
