Discussion              

Last week featured very hot weather across the Tennessee Valley with highs well up in the 90’s on most days, but the week ahead will be quite different. In fact, high temperatures look to be confined to the low-to-mid 80’s for much of the week although it’ll be unsettled as well with the daily threat of showers and thunderstorms. In fact, the showers today can be heavy at times and there can be thunderstorms mixed into the picture. Elsewhere, Tropical Storm Idalia has begun intensification over the NW Caribbean and it is likely to heads towards Florida’s Gulf coast by mid-week and, ultimately, may actually bring drier air into the northern part of Alabama after another volatile day on Tuesday.
