RIGHT NOW: Another pretty warm day across Alabama on this last day of September; at 2:00 Birmingham is reporting 86, while Montgomery is at 89 degrees. But, look for a big change tomorrow…
COOLER DAYS: With a fresh north breeze, highs will drop into the low to mid 70s tomorrow, and we will be down in the 40s by daybreak Thursday. Sure looks like the coolest morning will be Friday; the GFS is printing 43 degrees for Birmingham, and inevitably the colder valleys will reach the upper 30s for the first time this season.
THE WEEKEND: No change in our weekend forecast; sunny pleasant days and clear cool nights. Highs between 80 and 84, lows well down in the 50s. No rain for racing at Talladega, or football games in the state (both high school and college).
NEXT WEEK: The 12Z GFS gives us a different look for early next week; the 00Z run showed the upper low near Oklahoma City; the 12Z run shows that feature near Minneapolis, and accordingly is drier for Alabama. If the 12Z run is right, we will have just a few isolated showers Monday night or Tuesday with a weak front. Considering the recent weather, the drier solution is probably the correct one.
TROPICS: Sub-tropical storm Laura remains in the North Atlantic, and is no threat to the U.S. mainland. Disturbed weather over the far Southeast Gulf of Mexico and the Northwest Caribbean won’t be getting organized due to the harsh upper air winds associated with the strong upper trough over the eastern U.S.
