Dry And Very Warm Tomorrow And Thursday
RADAR CHECK: We have an isolated cluster of showers south of Montgomery at mid-afternoon, along with a few other showers over the southeast corner of the state. Otherwise it is a partly sunny afternoon with temperatures in the 77-85 degree range. Those few remaining showers will end this evening, and tonight will be mostly fair with a low in the 60-65 degree range.
Dry and warm weather is the story tomorrow and Thursday with highs remaining in the 80s. Thursday could very well be the warmest day so far this year for some places with a high in the 86-90 degree range.
FRIDAY AND THE WEEKEND: We will bring in a chance of showers Friday and through the weekend. A few notes about the rain chances…
*The showers each day will fairly random and scattered; not a wash-out by any means
*There could be some thunder, but we don’t expect severe storms.
*Rain amounts Friday through Sunday should be 1/2 inch or less for most places.
*Highest coverage of showers over the weekend will be over the northern half of the state
*The sun will be out at times
*The weather stays warm with highs in the 80s.
NEXT WEEK: An upper ridge will be the story; most days will be warm and dry with highs in the 85-91 degree range. The weather will feel more like early June as opposed to early May… See the video briefing for maps, graphics, and more details.
