Clouds thicken on Saturday, and a soaking rain sets in again on Sunday to kick off a wet week ahead. Check the video forecast for the latest.
WEEKEND WEATHER
Saturday: highs in the middle to upper 50s with a southwest wind around 10 to 20 miles per hour and a gradually graying sky as high thin clouds move in from the west.
Those high clouds signal a change in the weather for Sunday: back to rain. Some of that rain gets heavy at times. Showers begin late Saturday evening over Northwest Alabama and progressively spread across the rest of the state throughout the day Sunday. Expect rain essentially from start to finish: a very wet day with temperatures holding in the 50s.
A stripe of significant rainfall sets up over the southern half of the state where as much as 2” adds up near US 80 (Demopolis to Montgomery). Jefferson and Shelby Counties get around ½” to 1” on average, and we expect less than an inch of rain by Sunday night northeast of Birmingham through Cullman, Gadsden, Anniston, Fort Payne and Scottsboro.
SEVEN DAY FORECAST
Rain slides out on Monday, but clouds hang around for a while. Next week features precious little sunshine whatsoever and a whole lot more rain.
An Arctic cold front passes through on Tuesday, but by the time that air gets to Central Alabama it no longer really has much ‘punch’ to it: temperatures in the 40s and 50s for highs under a mostly cloudy sky Tuesday and Wednesday.
Showers become likely Tuesday, and heavier rain sets in on Wednesday and Thursday as another cold front moves into the region. In general, 2-3 inches of rain fall over most of Alabama through next Friday: almost all of it liquid. There will be some chance of wintry weather (mainly a mix) in Tennessee, but we do not expect that to have a major impact on Alabama weather next week.
