Tonight: Our weather will remain quiet tonight with patchy dense fog developing under a partly cloudy sky with lows in the upper 60s to low 70s. A sprinkle or light shower is possible along the Hwy-278 corridor around sunrise Monday morning.
Monday: Outside of a sprinkle or two over our northern counties very early Monday, we should all stay dry. Temperatures will be much warmer in the upper 80s, feeling more like the low to middle 90s with partly cloudy skies.
This Week: A strong cold front will approach the region on Tuesday, providing another day of summer-like heat. Highs on Tuesday will approach 90° over parts of the area while most of us hang out in the upper 80s, feeling like the low/mid 90s with muggy air in place.
This warm, moist air will make an unstable environment late Tuesday into early Wednesday, providing a potentially significant severe weather risk.
Weather Aware Tuesday Night:
4 PM Tuesday – 1 AM Wednesday
Scattered storms are expected to either form over northern Mississippi shortly after lunch on Tuesday before organizing into a gusty line of storms that will pose a high risk for damaging winds in excess of 60-70 mph across central Alabama starting Tuesday evening. There will also be a risk for up to ping pong ball size hail and potentially a tornado or two depending on where storms decide to form at.
Once the line of storms organize together, they'll quickly move southeast into late Tuesday night before likely exiting central Alabama shortly after midnight. The confidence in regards to timing is still low to medium, so be sure to check back for updates as the timing becomes more specific.
By Wednesday, lower humidity and refreshing air spills southward, drying things out and returning us to sunshine for the second half of the week. Highs will fall into the upper 70s and lows in the 40s and 50s!
The upcoming weekend becomes a bit tricky as northwest flow aloft appears to develop somewhere over the Tennessee River Valley. Where this pattern sets up will determine who could see a few complexes of storms similar to our weather this past weekend. We'll keep a low end threat for rain in the forecast for now and ramp up as needed over the coming days.
