DRY: Expect a good supply of sunshine across Alabama today… after a low in the 40s, temperatures reach the 70s this afternoon. The weather won’t change much through Friday.

THE WEEKEND: The weather will be warmer. Still dry, mostly sunny days, fair nights. Highs in the 80s, lows in the 60s.

NEXT WEEK: An unusually quiet pattern continues for April, which is usually a very wet, stormy month. An upper ridge will keep of of the big rain/storm producers west and north of here. But we could see a few showers around mid-week… See the video briefing for maps, graphics, and more details.

ON THIS DATE IN 1950: Most of Alabama was experiencing a significant April cold snap with record lows for much of the state. Birmingham dropped to 27; Montgomery was below freezing with 31 degrees.

ON THIS DATE IN 1987: International Falls, MN, with a record warm afternoon high of 71 degrees, was warmer than Miami, where the high was a record cool 66 degrees.

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