DRY WEATHER CONTINUES: Today will be another mostly sunny day for Alabama; we project a high in the 78-84 degree range this afternoon; the average high for Birmingham on October 15 is 76. A cold front will pass through the state tonight with some clouds, but no rain. Then, tomorrow will be a breezy and much cooler day with a high in the mid 60s despite sunshine in full supply.
BIG WARM-UP: After starting the day in the 40s in many areas, temperatures are now in the low 80s across Alabama this afternoon as the dry airmass warmed very efficiently. Tonight will be clear with a low in the 50s.
COOL START, WARM AFTERNOON: Many towns across North/Central Alabama are in the 40s this morning with a clear sky and light wind, but you won’t need a jacket for long today. A very dry airmass and strong October sun will push temperatures into the low to mid 80s this afternoon. Tomorrow will be warm and dry as well with a high between 82 and 85.
DRY DAYS: Temperatures are mostly in the 77-81 degree range across Alabama this afternoon with sunshine in full supply. Tonight will be clear and cool; lows early tomorrow will drop into the 45-52 degree range.
DEW POINTS COMING DOWN: A cold front passed through Alabama early this morning in mostly dry fashion, and today will feature temperatures about 5 degrees cooler than yesterday, but humidity levels will be noticeably lower. With a good supply of sunshine, most places will see a high in the upper 70s this afternoon. Tonight will be clear and cool with a low in the 47-52 degree range.
COLD FRONT ARRIVES TONIGHT: A cold front, now near Memphis, will pass through Alabama tonight mostly in dry fashion, with just a few isolated showers over the Tennessee Valley. This will bring lower humidity levels to state state tomorrow, and afternoon temperatures will be about five degrees cooler with highs in the 74-78 degree range.
BEAUTIFUL AFTERNOON: With sunshine in full supply, temperatures are mostly in the 76-80 degree range across Alabama this afternoon, right at seasonal averages for early October. Tonight the sky will stay clear with a low in the 50s early tomorrow.
LONG DRY SPELL CONTINUES: As advertised this morning, this is a picture perfect autumn day across Alabama with sunshine in full supply, low humidity, and below average temperatures. Most communities are somewhere between 67 and 72 degrees, and tonight should be the coolest night so far this season for many places with lows well down in the 40s. Colder pockets will reach the upper 30s over North Alabama early tomorrow.
Today will be a picture perfect fall day with sunshine in full supply, low humidity, and a high in the low 70s for most places. Tonight will most likely be the coolest night so far this season; colder pockets could reach the upper 30s by daybreak tomorrow.
SUNNY AFTERNOON: We are enjoying a sunny sky across Alabama this afternoon; temperatures are in the 76-80 degree range at most places. The average high for Birmingham on October 1 is 80. A new surge of cooler air moves into the state tonight; we drop into 40s early tomorrow morning.
TOMORROW THROUGH THE WEEKEND: Dry weather continues. A fresh surge of cool, dry air arrives Friday, and that could push some of the colder spots into the upper 30s early Saturday morning. Look for sunny days and fair nights through Saturday. A few scattered clouds will show up Sunday with an upper trough passing through, but for now the air looks too dry for any rain across the state.
RADAR CHECK: We still have a few patches of light rain over Southeast Alabama, but the sky has become partly sunny across much of the state as drier air punches into the state in the wake of a passing long wave upper trough. The average high for Birmingham on September 29 is 81; some East Alabama communities are twenty degrees below that level this afternoon. We are seeing low to mid 70s over on the western side of the state where the sun is back in full force.
