Alabama’s Most Detailed Seven Day Forecast

SUNDAY AFTERNOON – JUNE 4TH, 2023
Forecaster: Scott Martin

TODAY
As of 12:33 pm, we are rain-free across Central Alabama on this fine but hot Sunday. Temperatures are currently in the upper 70s to the upper 80s across the area, and will continue to warm into the upper 80s to the lower 90s. Skies will be partly cloudy through the rest of the afternoon hours, with a chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms. There is a threat of gusty winds, and the SPC continues a Marginal Risk for severe storms, mainly north of a line from Florence to Decatur to Gadsden, which is much smaller than what was outlined earlier this morning. Once we reach the evening, activity will start to diminish, and we all should be dry by the late local newscast. Lows will be in the 60s.

THE WORK WEEK AHEAD
Monday and Tuesday’s weather will be just like your normal summertime weather, as there will be partly sunny skies and scattered showers and storms during the afternoon to early evening hours on both days. Highs in the upper 80s to the lower 90s. Wednesday looks to be pretty much the same as well, as skies will be partly sunny with scattered afternoon showers and storms. Highs in the mid 80s to the lower 90s.

A surface boundary slowly pushes southward into the area on Thursday, that will increase our rain chances. We’ll have scattered to numerous showers and storms during the afternoon and evening hours, and highs in the mid to upper 80s. The boundary will have moved south of the area on Friday, and we look to have much calmer weather. While an isolated shower or storm is possible, nearly everyone will stay dry. Highs in the mid to upper 80s.

THE START OF THE WEEKEND
And at the end of the forecast period on Saturday, high pressure will be building over the southeast that will keep our weather much more quiet for another day. We still can’t rule out an isolated shower or two, but nearly everyone will be dry. Highs in the upper 80s to the lower 90s.
