TONIGHT: Cool and clear. Lows dipping into the 40s before Sunrise Monday morning.

MONDAY – WEDNESDAY: Dry and mild weather will be the story to kick off the week. Highs in the 60s and 70s Monday and Tuesday, and mid 70s Wednesday. Monday and Tuesday will be sunny, with a few clouds moving in by mid-week.

THURSDAY & FRIDAY: A low pressure system will move north from the Gulf (this isn’t a tropical system, just a run of the mill mid-latitude cyclone) as we move through the end of the week. We’ll stay on the cooler side of the low, meaning no severe weather and not much thunderstorm activity, just some rain. The best chance of rain will be Thursday, with some lingering showers possible Friday.

All told, rain totals won’t be extraordinarily high with this next round of rain, with most of Central Alabama getting less than an inch of rain. Rainfall totals will be higher along the Gulf Coast and Lower Alabama. Temperatures hang in the mid 70s through the end of the work-week.

THE WEEKEND: Saturday appears dry and quite warm. We’ll rocket up into the low 80s Saturday afternoon. We’ll re-introduce the chance for a few showers by Sunday. Highs stay in the 80s.
