**No afternoon Weather Xtreme video today**
FINE WEEKEND: This very mild weather will continue into the weekend; I note the 12Z GFS is printing 78 for Birmingham tomorrow. Last week at this time, as you recall, we were in the midst of a tornado outbreak, and also getting ready for a Sunday snow event. What a difference a week makes.
We stay dry through tomorrow, and any showers on Sunday will be very isolated, and mainly over the northwest corner of the state. Most places will stay dry Sunday.
NEXT WEEK: While a few scattered showers could show up Monday and Tuesday, the best chance of rain holds off until the latter half of the week. A cold front slips into North Alabama Wednesday, and then going stationary, so we will forecast a good chance of showers and storms on Wednesday, with the chance of rain holding into Thursday and Friday as a wave or two moves along the stalled front. We could see some pretty decent rain amounts during the latter half of next week, but for now the severe weather potential looks low.
