Weather Aware Friday through Sunday for strong to severe storms
Tonight, any showers and storms will cease, leaving a partly cloudy sky. It will be mild and muggy, with lows in the mid-60s to lower 70s.
On Thursday, warm and humid conditions are expected as high pressure lingers off the East Coast, pumping tropical air into Alabama. The upper-level low will move eastward, away from Alabama, resulting in partly cloudy skies in the Birmingham area, with a slight chance of a pop-up shower or storm. High temperatures will rise into the middle 80s, and the heat index will reach the lower 90s.
Weather Aware from Friday through Sunday for Strong to Severe Storms
A cold front will approach Alabama on Friday, accompanied by an upper-level wave, triggering scattered showers and storms. It is possible we could see a cluster of storms (MCS) moving across the state during the late afternoon and evening.
There is a Level 1 to 2/5 Risk for severe weather across Central Alabama, with the highest threat north of I-20. The main threat will be gusty winds. It will be hot and humid, with highs in the upper 80s and a heat index in the 90s before the storms arrive. Bring your rain gear to the Steel City Smooth Jazz Fest.
Weekend Outlook: The cold front will stall north of Alabama in Tennessee this weekend. A series of upper-level waves will track along the front each day, bringing a cluster of strong to severe storms (MCS) across Alabama on Saturday.
The SPC has placed Central Alabama under a Level 2/5 Slight Risk for severe storms involving gusty winds. Highs will be in the middle 80s.
Another MCS is likely on Sunday, maintaining the same weather pattern. These storms could be strong to severe, featuring gusty winds and highs in the lower 80s.
Additionally, Saharan dust could move into the southeastern U.S. this weekend, causing the sky to take on a milky hue and creating beautiful sunrises and sunsets each day.

Temperatures will hover around 80s degrees, although only in the mid-70 farther northwest behind the front. A cluster of showers and storms south of the nearly stalled front will brush southern Ohio this evening and linger overnight, focused well to the south of I-70.

However, another round of showers will return early Sunday with a disturbance crossing the Ohio Valley through early afternoon, with some clearing later in the day. More scattered storms are likely Monday afternoon and early Tuesday, as a system drops southeast from the Canadian plains. Skies will finally clear up by the middle of next week, as high pressure builds into the region, with temperatures warming to the low 80s. Friday: Mostly cloudy, few showers, storms.
