ROUTINE SUMMER WEATHER THROUGH SATURDAY: Not much change in the overall weather picture for Alabama through Saturday… hot, hazy days with the chance of a few widely scattered showers and storms, mainly during the afternoon and evening hours. Highs mostly in the low to mid 90s.
SUNDAY AND MONDAY: We believe there will be a general increase in the number of showers and storms on these days, as an upper trough forms over the eastern third of the U.S., and the heat bubble is pushed to the west. An approaching surface boundary will aid in the formation of showers and storms on these two days, and along with the increase in the chance of rain will come a slow decrease in daytime temperatures. The new 12Z GFS is printing a high of only 86 degrees for Birmingham on Monday with a good chance of showers and storms.
TUESDAY AND BEYOND: Drier and slightly cooler air settles into Alabama by the middle of next week; looks like highs in the 87 to 90 degree range, with lows well down in the 60s. Not bad for summer in Alabama. And, humidity values should be relatively low.
TROPICS: All is quiet across the Atlantic basin, and tropical storm formation is not expected through the rest of this week.
