Milder Weather This Week

Winds will become more southerly and increase our moisture across Central Alabama. Hello, I'm Meteorologist, Lauren Whisenhunt.

It's going to be another beautiful day across Central Alabama with mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies. Temperatures will be a few degrees above average through the end of the week. Typically this time of year we have daytime highs near 66 with overnight lows in the mid-40's. Today, temperatures will warm up to around 72 degrees. High pressure will move off to the east of us, therefore, increasing our moisture with a nice, southerly flow.

Tuesday, a weak cold front will approach the northern half of the state and then it will begin to stall. We have a slight chance for showers tomorrow, but most of us will remain dry, unfortunately. Currently in Birmingham, we are 21+ inches in deficit. Our best chance for rain will come with a secondary system that will move through soon after the first one. We have a chance for showers and thunderstorms Wednesday Afternoon into Thursday Morning. However, by lunchtime Thursday, it looks like we begin to clear out with partly cloudy skies and highs in the low to mid 70's.

The long term trends for some scattered showers on Saturday and Sunday of next week, but that sure is a long way out. A lot can change by that time. Daytime highs will be in the mid 60's which is average for this time of year.

Have a great week!
