Dry weather continues tomorrow and Wednesday with highs in the 70s.
THURSDAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND: We will mention the chance of a few widely scattered showers Thursday, otherwise the weather will likely stay dry through the weekend with a warming trend continuing. The high Thursday will be between 77 and 81, followed by low to mid 80s statewide Friday through Sunday. An upper ridge will keep the big storm producing systems well to the west and north of Alabama.
NEXT WEEK: A relatively quiet pattern continues. Showers are possible across Alabama on Tuesday (April 30), otherwise the rest of the week looks warm and dry with highs in the 80s. Still no sign of any high impact weather event for our state (flooding, severe storms) for the next 7-10 days. See the video briefing for maps, graphics, and more details.
