Alabama’s Most Detailed Seven Day Forecast

Monday Morning, April 28th, 2025

Forecaster: Scott Martin

TODAY: Good morning, Central Alabama! We’re starting the week with ridging inching closer to our neck of the woods. Think of that as a bit of a bump in the atmosphere, extending from our friends out in the Southwest Gulf, all the way up to the Eastern Great Lakes. On the ground, a surface front – it’s going to settle in, stretching from near Columbus, Mississippi, down towards Dothan. Meanwhile, high pressure is building across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic.

What does that mean for you? Well, expect partly cloudy skies today. We’ll see some isolated showers and thunderstorms, mainly across the southern two-thirds of our viewing area. The best chance for any of that wet stuff will be along and south of the I-85 and U.S. Highway 80 corridors. It’s not going to be a washout, but if you’re south of Montgomery, keep an eye to the sky. Winds will be out of the east to southeast, a light breeze at 4 to 8 mph. High temperatures today will be throughout the 80s, ranging from around 80 degrees in our far eastern counties, to the upper 80s as you head west. So, a warm one, folks!

THE REST OF THE WORK WEEK: Looking ahead to Tuesday, it’s going to be pretty dry across Central Alabama. We’ll see those high temperatures continuing, with highs throughout the 80s. Moving into Wednesday, we might see a very isolated shower in the northeast during the afternoon. The heat will be the main story, with highs in the mid to upper 80s. Thursday, we’ll keep an eye on a possible pop-up shower in the northwest during the afternoon. Temperatures will remain warm, with highs throughout the 80s. As we head into Friday, we are watching the next system closely. It looks like our rain chances will be higher than normal. High temperatures will range from the upper 70s to the mid 80s.

NEXT WEEKEND: For next weekend, the good news for some of you who don’t like the heat? We should see a cooler airmass moving in. Expect highs in the mid 70s to mid 80s on Saturday. Sunday’s forecast shows similar temperatures to Saturday, with highs in the upper 70s to mid 80s.
