Midday Nowcast: Warm with Scattered Showers
It remains unseasonably warm (widespread 70s) and muggy with more clouds than sun and scattered showers are on the radar. The better chance of rain remains across the northern third of the state, and the rain there is keeping temperatures in the 60s. Not much change in the forecast tomorrow. Sunday will be a few degrees cooler, in the upper 60s, and rain chances will be higher Sunday, some rumbles of thunder are possible, there is no threat of severe storms this weekend. The next several nights will continue to feature dense fog, use caution if you out and about late at night and through the morning hours. Lows will be in the mid and upper 50s.
NEXT WEEK: Warm temperatures and some scattered showers are possible Monday and Tuesday. West of Alabama, we will be watching a significant severe weather event these days. This system arrives here Wednesday with rain and thunderstorms, but it still looks like the best dynamic support will pull well to the north, and instability values look low for much of Alabama. However, across Southwest Alabama, where instability will be higher, the SPC has highlighted that part of the state for a risk of severe weather. For the rest of the state, the threat looks very limited, but this could change in the coming days. As this system exits, colder, drier air returns Thursday and Friday with highs in the 50s and lows in the 30s. Even colder air looks to arrive by next weekend as winter temperatures finally return, expect highs in the 40s and lows in the 20s. The following week will feature below average temperatures, so warm weather loves, enjoy the next several days.
