Warm Days, Cool Nights, Dry Air
COMFORTABLE JUNE WEATHER: A dry, continental air mass has moved into Alabama today, and we are enjoying a good supply of sunshine with much lower humidity. Temperatures are below average, mostly in the low to mid-80s. Tonight will clear and very pleasant with a low between 57 and 62 degrees by daybreak tomorrow.
TOMORROW THROUGH THE WEEKEND: Not much change in our weather as very dry air remains in place. Sunny warm days, fair pleasant nights. Highs will hold in the 80s, with lows mostly in the low to mid-60s. Cooler spots will visit the 50s each morning.
NEXT WEEK: The quiet June weather pattern continues. A fresh supply of dry air arrives Sunday night, and many communities will enjoy lows in the 50s Monday and Tuesday morning. Highs will be in the low-80s Monday, mid-80s Tuesday, and upper-80s Wednesday. We will be close to 90 by Thursday and Friday with a slow rise in humidity levels. The weather stays mostly dry with only very isolated showers late in the week. See the Weather Xtreme video for maps, graphics, and more details.
TROPICS: An area of disorganized showers located about 200 miles east of the Windward Islands is associated with a tropical wave. Significant development is not anticipated due to inhibiting environmental conditions while the system moves over the Windward Islands later tonight. The rest of the Atlantic basin remains very quiet.
