Weather Briefing — Breezy & Dry Today; Showers Possible by Midweek : The Alabama Weather Blog

We’ll be on the eastern side of a ridge and the western side of a trough that will bring breezy and cooler conditions today after a cold front passed through Central Alabama late on Friday. Skies will be sunny and highs in the mid 60s to the upper 70s.

Sunday will be near repeat of today’s weather, but the good kind, like listening to your favorite song two times in a row. Winds will be much lighter and skies will be sunny. Highs in the mid 60s to the lower 70s. It will be a very cool start as morning lows will be in the upper 30s to the mid 40s.

Great weather will continue into the work week. Monday will be sunny with highs warming up into the 70s across the area. We’ll go warmer again on Tuesday with sunny skies and highs in the mid 70s to the lower 80s.

On Wednesday, we’ll have a surface low moving up from the Gulf of Mexico that will bring rain chances back into the forecast throughout the day, according to the GFS. There will be no instability in place, so thunderstorms look unlikely at this time. Rain moves out of the area before midnight. Highs in the upper 70s to the lower 80s.

Quiet weather returns on Thursday as skies will be clearing out. Highs will back down a little, reaching the mid 70s to the lower 80s. A cold front will move through the area on Friday, that will bring a reinforcing shot of dry and cooler air to Central Alabama. We’ll have a few clouds with highs in the lower 70s to right at or just below 80º.

This is the quietest that the tropics have been in quite a while. For now, there are no cyclones over the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, or the Gulf of Mexico. However, there is a tropical wave located just off the African Coast that has a high chance of developing into a depression by midweek. This system is projected to immediately turn northwesterly and head out over open waters.
