Mainly dry and warm conditions will continue across North Alabama over the next several days. A few subtle disturbances will swing through the area at times, but they will only bring very isolated risks for showers and storms. There is no risk for any widespread or significant rainfall over the next few days. A slightly stronger trough will move into the region around Tuesday, which will bring a slightly better risk for showers and thunderstorms.
 
Temperatures will remain warm over the next several days as well, with high temperatures ranging generally from near 90 over Northwest Alabama to mid 80s over Northeast Alabama. The greatest risk for isolated shower/thunderstorm activity through the weekend will be over Northeast Alabama as well. Here is a map (click for larger image) showing the greatest potential for isolated thunderstorm activity on Thursday/Friday:
 

 
THURSDAY/FRIDAY: Mainly sunny and warm both days. A few isolated afternoon/evening showers or thunderstorms are possible, mainly over Northeast Alabama as indicated on the map above. Afternoon high temperatures will range from the mid 80s over Northeast Alabama to near 90 over Northwest Alabama each afternoon. Morning lows 55-60.
 
THE WEEKEND: The risk for rain over the weekend is basically nil. Expect mostly sunny days and clear nights. Afternoon highs again mainly in the mid 80s over the higher terrain Northeast Alabama, near 90 over Northwest Alabama.
 
EARLY NEXT WEEK: As a trough approaches the area early next week, the risk for widely scattered shower and thunderstorm activity will increase as well, particularly by Tuesday. Still does not appear there will be any widespread rainfall. High temperatures mainly in the low/mid 80s, lows 60-65.

A warm and mainly dry weather pattern will be in place over the next several days over North Alabama, including into the upcoming weekend. A few subtle disturbances will swing through the area over the next few days, but these will only bring very isolated risks for showers or storms. There is no sign of any significant or widespread rainfall over the next few days. Details below…
 
TODAY: Mostly sunny and warmer conditions expected across the area today. Afternoon high temperatures will reach the low 80s, several degrees warmer than what we experienced on Monday. A few isolated showers and thunderstorms will form mainly east of I-65 and southeast of Huntsville this afternoon – however any shower or storms will be very spotty. Most places will remain dry today.
 
TONIGHT: A few evening showers/storms remain possible this evening before fading after sunset. Again, the best chance is east of I-65 and southeast of Huntsville. Patchy dense fog will likely form across many areas after midnight. Visibility could be reduced to less than 1/4 of mile at times, use extreme caution if driving late tonight or early Wednesday morning. Overnight lows will fall into the mid/upper 50s.
 
WEDNESDAY: After morning fog, the warming trend will continue on Wednesday with another mostly sunny day. Afternoon high temperatures will reach the mid 80s.
 
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY: A weak disturbance will swing through the area in the Thursday/Friday time-frame. This could be enough to spark off a few isolated showers or thunderstorms, mainly during the afternoon and early evening hours. The risk of any one spot seeing rain each day is very small, only about 1 in 4, so most places will remain dry each day. Afternoon high temperatures in the mid/upper 80s. Morning lows mainly 55-60.
 
THE WEEKEND: As an upper ridge builds over the region this weekend, temperatures will warm and rain chances will diminish. The weekend looks dry with afternoon highs 85-90. Morning lows generally in the upper 50s/low 60s.
 
There are some indications a cold front could push into the area by early next week that could bring a more significant chance for rain. However, it is a bit early to discern many details right now. Check back for more details over the next couple of days.

Spotty showers will continue to affect parts of the area this evening. Showers will begin to diminish across the area by 9pm. Fog will likely develop in many areas tonight, becoming quite dense. Dense fog will be around Tuesday morning, but once the fog dissipates, a mostly sunny day is expected. Mainly dry weather is expected through the upcoming weekend, with temperatures warming. Details below…
 
TONIGHT: Spotty shower possible this evening with showers dissipating by 9:00pm. Dense fog will develop in many areas, particularly after midnight. Use caution if driving late tonight. Overnight lows in the upper 50s.
 
TUESDAY: Dense fog in the early morning hours, will dissipate by mid-morning. Once the fog dissipates, a mostly sunny sky will take over with temperatures warming into the upper 70s to near 80.
 
WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY: A mainly dry few days is expected Wednesday through Friday. A weak disturbance will sweep through the area Thursday and Friday – this could be enough to spark off a few isolated showers or thunderstorms mainly during the afternoon/evening hours. But again, most areas will be dry. Afternoon highs will be between 80-85. Lows mainly 55-60.
 
THE WEEKEND: A strong ridge will build into the area this weekend, this will mean warmer temperatures and drier weather. The risk of an afternoon/evening storm will be basically nil due to the strong ridging in place (sinking air). Afternoon highs 85-90. Lows mainly 60-65.

A mostly cloudy Saturday morning across North Alabama, with temperatures in the 70s. However, there is no rain to speak of at this time. The nearest rain is located to our north over ports of Middle Tennessee, and to our southwest in the Jackson, Mississippi area. Expect most places to remain dry through at least the early afternoon hours today.
 
The best chance for more widespread rainfall will come overnight tonight into Sunday morning and midday. The rainfall will become heavy at times, but no severe weather is expected with this system. The steadiest rain should begin to taper off from west to east Sunday afternoon/evening. A few lingering showers are possible Sunday night and early Monday morning. The forecast then looks dry Tuesday through the end of the week. Details below…
 
TODAY: Partly to mostly cloudy this morning. Widely scattered “hit or miss” showers/storms will be possible mainly AFTER 3:00pm today. Not everyone will see rain just yet, so if you have outdoor plans this afternoon, there is no need to cancel right now. However, by tonight rain will become more widespread.
 
TONIGHT: Rain becoming widespread across the area. A few embedded thunderstorms are possible as well. However, severe weather is NOT expected. Overnight lows between 60-65.
 
SUNDAY: Numerous showers and a few embedded thunderstorms continue at times. They will begin to taper off from west to east by late afternoon/evening hours. Left with scattered showers at times Sunday night. Afternoon highs Sunday mainly in the mid 70s.
 
MONDAY: While a few lingering scattered showers are possible early Monday morning, the showers should be on the way out of the area. Could see some clearing by Monday afternoon with high temperatures reaching the mid to upper 70s.
 
REST OF THE WEEK: Some slightly drier air moves into the area late Monday and Tuesday, and much of the rest of the week looks dry. Tuesday through Friday, expect mostly sunny days, clear nights. High temperatures generally upper 70s/low 80s. Lows generally in the 50s to near 60.

Another day with comfortable temperatures is expected across the area for this Friday. High clouds will increase from the west, especially this afternoon, but mainly a sunny day. However, it will remain dry through tonight. The risk of any rain or storms will hold off until Saturday, mainly late in the day. Rain chances will continue into Sunday and Monday as well.
 
While scattered showers and thunderstorms will be possible over the next several days, there is little threat of severe thunderstorms. Also, it will not rain the entire weekend. The highest risk for rain and thunderstorms will be Saturday night and Sunday.
 
TODAY: Mostly sunny and warm. Afternoon high temperatures in the lower 80s. A storms system to our west over the southern Plains will spread some high clouds into the area this afternoon, but no rain yet.

Showers are moving through parts of North Alabama this morning, however they are quickly moving eastward. Rain will be ending over the next couple of hours for most of the area.
 
Below is a look at some estimated times for the ending of the rain across the area. The satellite image also shows that the sky is beginning to clear over extreme NW Alabama. This will continue further east as the day progresses as well. Most locations will see some sunshine by this afternoon. High temperatures will range from near 70 over NE Alabama to the upper 70s over NW Alabama.
 

 
Great weather can be expected over the next couple of days, both Thursday and Friday with sunny conditions and highs mainly in the 70s and lows in the upper 40s/low 50s.

A few very isolated showers/storms are ongoing across a SMALL part of North Alabama on this Tuesday evening, however most of the area is dry. Through 7:00pm this evening, any showers/storms will remain quite isolated. There is a little better risk of a few scattered showers later tonight. However, rainfall amounts will not be significantly widespread. Cooler and drier air arrives Wednesday, and the weather will be quite comfortable through the weekend. Details below…
 
TONIGHT: A few isolated evening storms, but most dry. A slightly better chance for a few showers after 7pm. However, rainfall will not be widespread. Lows in the upper 50s/low 60s as cooler/drier air begins to invade from the north.
 
WEDNESDAY: Morning clouds on Wednesday morning, and while a stray shower is possible – don’t expect much in the way of rain. Clouds will decrease through the day and by afternoon the sky should be partly to mostly sunny with afternoon highs in the mid 70s.
 
THURSDAY-FRIDAY: Mostly sunny days and clear nights. Comfortable temperatures with the drier airmass in place. Afternoon highs 75-80. Lows in the upper 40s/low 50s.
 
THE WEEKEND: Another system could impact the area by this weekend, bringing a risk for a few scattered showers and storms at times, but for now the details are not very clear. Does not look like a significant rain event at this point, as much of the weekend would likely be dry since precip should be scattered. Check back for more details!

It is another very warm and humid afternoon across North Alabama on this Sunday. A few isolated thunderstorms will be possible in a few spots this afternoon and evening – but the majority of the area will remain dry. A little better coverage of showers and thunderstorms is expected Monday afternoon into Monday as well as Tuesday as a cold front approaches the area. The shower and thunderstorm activity should end across the area by Wednesday morning with a cooler and drier air mass settling into the area. Details below…
 
REST OF TODAY: Again, it will be a mostly sunny afternoon for most of the afternoon. There will be only a few isolated shower or storms developing through the early evening. The majority of the area will remain dry. Afternoon highs in the upper 80s to lower 90s.
 
TONIGHT: Any isolated evening thunderstorms dissipating, otherwise partly cloudy. A few isolated storms will be possible again toward daybreak. Lows in the mid 60s.
 
MONDAY & TUESDAY: Scattered showers and thunderstorms will be possible at times from Monday through Tuesday. The highest risk of rain appears to be from Monday afternoon into Monday night, although scattered storms will be possible Tuesday as well. Afternoon highs generally in the mid 80s with lows in the mid 60s. A few storms could briefly become severe with the main threats being hail and strong winds. Storms will also contain heavy downpours and frequent lightning.
&nbsp
WEDNESDAY: Decreasing clouds Wednesday morning, expect any showers to have ended by this time. Cooler and drier air mass will settle into the area. Afternoon highs 75-80. Lows near 60.
 
THURSDAY & FRIDAY: Thursday and Friday will likely be the best days of the week, near perfect conditions. With a mostly sunny sky, afternoon high temperatures will reach the mid/upper 70s. Morning lows in the upper 40s/low 50s.

A summer-like weather pattern will bring warm and humid conditions to North Alabama this weekend. There will be widely scattered storms possible at about any time on Saturday and Sunday, but the highest chance will be during the afternoon and early evening hours. It appears a strong cold front will approach the area by late Monday or Tuesday, this could bring a more widespread shot at rainfall, and usher in cooler and drier air for the middle of next week. Details below…
 
TODAY: Partly to mostly sunny across the area for this Friday. Afternoon highs will reach the mid 80s in most spots, a bit cooler in the higher elevations of NE Alabama.
 
SATURDAY/SUNDAY: Both days will feature a partly to mostly sunny sky. There will be opportunities for widely scattered showers and thunderstorms, particularly during the afternoon and early evening hours. In addition to the isolated “pop-up” storms, also watching for the possibility of a large mass of thunderstorms (called an MCS) to affect the area over the weekend from the NW. This could bring more widespread, beneficial rainfall. Highs Saturday and Sunday generally in the upper 80s to low 90s with lows mid/upper 60s.
 
While a few storms Saturday and Sunday could briefly become strong with gusty winds, frequent lightning, heavy downpours, and hail – significant severe weather threat is NOT EXPECTED.
 
MONDAY/TUESDAY: Another enhanced chance for showers and storms comes on Monday and Tuesday as cold front approaches the area. Again, a few storms could be strong – but severe weather will not be a major issue. Highs in the 80s. Lows in the 60s.
 
WEDNESDAY/THURSDAY: Should clear out by Wednesday with a cooler and drier air mass settling in. High temperatures 75-80, lows 45-50.
 
Have a great weekend!
