RADAR CHECK: A cold front is near I-20 this afternoon, and radar continues to show rain showers over the northern quarter of the state, mostly over the Tennessee Valley. North of the front, temperatures are in the 50s, but to the south most South Alabama communities are well into the 70s. The front will drift northward tonight, toward the Tennessee border.
A FEW SHOWERS LATER TODAY: Alabama’s weather will remain generally quiet today, although a few scattered showers are possible this afternoon as moisture levels begins to rise. We expect a mix of sun and clouds with a high around 80 degrees for most communities.
WARM AND HUMID: Morning clouds will give way to a partly sunny afternoon across Alabama today, and we project a high in the low to mid 80s for most communities. The average high for Birmingham on October 12 is 76. A cold front will pass through the state tonight; it will have potential to bring a few isolated showers to the northern third of the state, but most places will be dry due to very shallow moisture.
ANOTHER WARM DAY: We are projecting a high in the mid 80s for much of Alabama today; the average high for Birmingham on October 8 is 78. The sky will be partly sunny; any showers will be confined to the far southern counties of the state. Clouds will gradually increase statewide tonight.
WARM OCTOBER DAY: Temperatures are mostly in the mid 80s across Alabama this afternoon with a good supply of sunshine; the average high for Birmingham on October 7 is 78. Tonight will be mostly fair with a low in the 50s.
QUIET THROUGH TOMORROW: While the attention is focused on Hurricane Delta, Alabama’s weather will remain mostly dry and warm today and tomorrow. With a partly to mostly sunny sky, look for highs in the mid 80s both days. Some West Alabama communities could reach the upper 80s. Then, on Friday, clouds will increase, and showers are possible during the day as moisture levels rise. Showers should be more widespread Friday night as Delta moves into South Louisiana.
MOISTURE LEVELS RISING: We will bring in the chance of a few scattered showers this afternoon across Alabama; odds of any one spot getting wet will be around one in four. Otherwise, today will be partly sunny and a little more humid with a high in the upper 80s. The average high for September 10 at Birmingham is 87.
RADAR CHECK: We do have a few showers across Alabama this afternoon, but they remain few and far between. Most of the state is dry with a mix of sun and clouds along with temperatures in the 80s.
QUIET PATTERN CONTINUES: Look for a mix of sun and clouds across Alabama today, and a few showers or thunderstorms could form this afternoon. But, they will be widely spaced, and odds of any one spot getting wet today will be in the 20 percent range. The high will be in the mid 80s in most places. Not much change tomorrow, only isolated showers with highs in the upper 80s.
TOMORROW THROUGH THE WEEKEND: The weather won’t change much tomorrow; look for a mix of sun and clouds with a few widely scattered showers… the high will be in the mid 80s. Temperatures rise into the upper 80s Friday with a good supply of sunshine and only a small risk of a shower for any one given location. Then, over the weekend, we expect afternoon highs around 90 degrees with a mostly sunny sky Saturday and Sunday.
