Today will be another mostly sunny day with a high in the upper 80s over North Alabama, with low 90s to the south. Tomorrow Atlantic moisture will creep into the state from the east, and we will mention isolated showers statewide. Nothing heavy, nothing widespread. Many spots won’t see a drop…. highs will remain in the 87-93 degree range.

FRIDAY AND THE WEEKEND: The weather looks mostly dry with slowly rising heat levels; highs will be in the 90s Saturday and Sunday. Lows stay in the 60s over North Alabama, so mornings will remain fairly pleasant.

NEXT WEEK: An upper ridge will strengthen across the Deep South, meaning hot and mostly dry weather. A few isolated showers or storms could show up late in the week, but we still see no evidence of anything really widespread. Highs rise into the upper 90s by mid-week under the ridge… See the video briefing for maps, graphics, and more details.

TROPICS: We are now in the climatological peak of the hurricane season (August 20 through October 10), but the Atlantic basin is very quiet and tropical storm formation is not expected at least for the next seven days.

ON THIS DATE IN 2021: Henri became a category one hurricane in the Atlantic off the U.S. East Coast. It would make landfall the following day as a tropical storm at Westerly, Rhode Island with maximum sustained winds of 60 mph. Despite its relatively weak intensity, the storm brought very heavy rainfall over the Northeastern United States and New England, causing widespread flooding in many areas, including cities such as New York and Boston. Power outages became extensive in the region, while wind damage was sparse in comparison.

Look for the next video briefing here by 3:00 this afternoon… enjoy the day!
