SEVERE CLEAR: We have another sunny afternoon across Alaabama with temperatures in the 77-82 degree range for most places. Tonight will be clear and cool with a low between 46 and 54 degrees.
Alabama’s weather won’t change much through the weekend. Sunny, pleasant days and clear, cool nights. Expect highs in the 76-81 degree range today and tomorrow, followed by mid to upper 70s over the weekend. Morning lows will remain in the 40s and 50s.
Same situation next week as the long dry spell continues. Still looks like it will be early November (around ten days from now) before our next meaningful rain event… See the video briefing for maps, graphics, and more details.
TROPICS: Josephine in the Atlantic has become an extratropical low; the last advisory has been issued by NHC.
Elsewhere, a trough of low pressure located several hundred miles to the east-southeast of Bermuda is producing a large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Some development of this system is possible through tomorrow while it moves slowly north-northeastward. Upper-level winds are forecast to become too strong for further development by the weekend. Chance of development is only 10 percent.
No tropical storms are expected near the Gulf for at least the next 7-10 days.
RACE WEEKEND: The weather could not be better for race weekend at Talladega. Sunny, comfortable afternoons, clear, cool nights. Afternoon highs in the mid to upper 70s, morning lows in the upper 40s and low 50s.
