The Saturday Briefing — Calm & Warm Weather This Weekend

We’ve got some stable and warm weather thanks to a nearby high-pressure system in Central Alabama. Expect calm conditions with a mix of high clouds drifting by. While there’s rain and storms happening southwest of us in Mississippi, we should stay dry today, though there might be a few sprinkles in the western parts of our area. Temperatures will reach the lower to mid-80s.

Sunday will be quite similar, with the high pressure still influencing our weather, leading to partly sunny skies and temperatures in the same range as today.

Looking ahead to Monday, a short wave is moving in from the west, possibly bringing an MCS (mesoscale convective system) our way. Our air will be drier compared to the west, so any storms should weaken as they move in, and we don’t expect severe weather right now. However, keep an eye out for rain and storms, especially in the northern part of our area later in the day. Temperatures will be in the lower to mid-80s.

Tuesday will be a bit cooler as the shortwave moves out, and we’ll likely stay dry except for a few lingering showers in the far east. Temperatures will range from the upper 70s to mid-80s.

Wednesday brings a slight warming trend, and there’s another wave to our west that might bring isolated showers or storms. Most areas will see temperatures in the lower to mid-80s, but the southeast could reach the upper 80s.

Thursday will be similar, with ridging from the Gulf Coast keeping most activity away, but a few isolated afternoon showers or storms could pop up. Temperatures will remain in the 80s, with a chance of hitting 90 in the southeast.

Friday marks a change as a cold front moves in, bringing a good chance of showers and thunderstorms. While severe weather isn’t likely, temperatures will range from the mid-70s to upper 80s.
