RIGHT NOW: Tuscaloosa and Montgomery have reached 70 degrees at 2:00; Birmingham is right behind with 68. If you like these numbers, you will like our forecast in coming days.
We are projecting highs in the mid 70s tomorrow and Saturday with a partly sunny sky. The low levels will remain fairly dry, and no rain is expected through the beginning of the weekend. A few isolated showers could show up Sunday afternoon, mainly over Northwest Alabama, but once again most communities will stay dry.
NEXT WEEK: You might see a shower in spots Monday and Tuesday, but it still looks like the best chance of rain holds off until Wednesday when a cold front approaches from the north. The 12Z GFS continues the idea of the main upper support for the front passing well to the north, leaving the front in a prime position to stall out, prolonging the chance of rain into Thursday. While severe weather doesn’t look likely due to the lack of good dynamics, some beneficial amounts of rain are likely. Cooler air slips in at the end of the week Friday, and for now the following weekend looks dry. The really cold air stays north of Alabama.
WEATHER BRAINS: Don’t forget you can listen to our weekly 30 minute netcast anytime on the web, or on iTunes. This is the show all about weather featuring many familiar voices, including our meteorologists here at ABC 33/40. You can even listen here on the blog; look for the player on the top left.
