Most Of Alabama Dry Through The Weekend
DRIER AIR PUSHING INTO NORTH ALABAMA: The sky has cleared over the northern third of the state this afternoon, where the sky is mostly sunny. Clouds linger over the southern half of the state, but there is very little rain on radar. Scattered showers or storms are possible tonight over South Alabama.
TOMORROW THROUGH THE WEEKEND: Most of Alabama will be dry on these four days. Tomorrow will be partly sunny with a high in the low 70s, then we expect sunshine in full supply Friday and Saturday with a warming trend. Friday’s high will be in the mid 70s, and by Saturday afternoon temperatures will reach 80 degrees. Sunday will be another dry day for most of the state with a high in the low 80s… a few isolated showers could show up near the Gulf Coast.
NEXT WEEK: Moisture levels will rise, and the week will be warm and humid with highs in the mid 80s. A strong upper ridge will keep most of the state dry Monday and Tuesday with only isolated showers… scattered showers and thunderstorms will be a little more numerous over the latter half of the week. See the Weather Xtreme video for maps, graphics, and more details.
