Weather Aware Friday, Saturday, and Sunday for a threat of strong to severe storms
Stay 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. A cluster of storms (MCS) is anticipated to track across the northern part of 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 located 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, creating a northwest flow weather pattern. This will allow a series of upper-level waves to bring 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 that may produce gusty winds. Highs will be in the middle 80s. Another MCS is likely on Sunday, maintaining the same northwest flow 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. Next Week's Outlook: The front will remain stalled north of Alabama. The warm and humid air will sustain an unstable atmosphere, allowing for daily scattered showers and storms. Some could be strong to severe with gusty winds, hail, and heavy rain. High temperatures will be in the mid-80s, and the heat index will reach the lower 90s.

Hazy, hot, and more humid weather this week, Storms return by the weekend
Tonight, the surface high pressure will sit over us making for a mostly clear night. Smoke from the Canadian Wildfires will continue to impact the upper levels of the air above Alabama. This will make for another pretty sunset. It will be cool and comfortable with low humidity. Lows will range from the lower to middle 60s. The high pressure will move east of Alabama on Tuesday. This will make it more humid with a mostly sunny sky. It will be warmer with high temperatures in the upper 80s. The heat index will be in the lower 90s. Warm and more humid weather is expected on Wednesday and Thursday as the high pressure sits off the East Coast and pumps in tropical air over Alabama. Each day will be partly cloudy with a low chance of a pop-up shower or storm. High temperatures will be in the upper 80s, and the heat index will be in the lower to middle 90s. A cold front will move toward Alabama on Friday, accompanied by an upper-level wave. This will set off scattered showers and storms. It will be hot and humid with highs in the upper 80s and the heat index in the 90s before it storms. Weekend Outlook: The front will stall north of Alabama in Tennessee this weekend. A train of upper-level waves will move along the front each day. This system is close enough to trigger scattered showers and storms on Saturday and Sunday, accompanied by downpours and frequent lightning. High temperatures will be in the middle to upper 80s. Additionally, Saharan Dust will move over to the Southeast U.S. this weekend. This will cause the sky to appear a milky color and makes for beautiful sunrises/sunsets each day. This phenomenon is very common and happens every year from June through August. High pressure over the Mediterranean Sea causes the winds to move east to west across the Saharan Desert. The dusty sand gets sent aloft and travels across the Atlantic to the U.S. Be sure to follow the CBS 42 Storm Team: Follow Us on Facebook: Chief Meteorologist Dave Nussbaum, Meteorologist Michael Haynes, Meteorologist Alex Puckett, and Meteorologist Jacob Woods.

Warmer and drier weather returns Wednesday, Strong storms this weekend
Tonight, the upper-level low will finally begin to weaken and move northeast toward Ohio. The scattered showers and storms will gradually diminish this evening. Some storms could be strong to severe. The SPC has placed west and northwest Alabama in a Level 1/5 Marginal Risk for severe storms. The threat is very low, but a storm may produce gusty winds and hail through 10 PM. More heavy rain is expected, increasing the flood risk. Overnight, it will become partly cloudy with patchy fog and the possibility of just a stray shower. Lows will range from the upper 50s to the lower 60s. The low will finally move away from Alabama on Wednesday, and a ridge of high pressure aloft will build south of the state. This will limit the amount of rain we receive to mainly northern Alabama on the southwest edge of the low. Otherwise, it will be partly cloudy and warmer with highs in the middle 80s. It will feel like summer on Thursday and Friday with unseasonably warm temperatures as the ridge settles across the Central Gulf. Thursday will be mostly sunny with highs in the upper 80s. Friday will be partly cloudy with a slight chance of a shower. High temperatures will reach the upper 80s to lower 90s. This will create excellent weather for the first two rounds of the Regions Tradition at Greystone. Weekend Outlook: The break from rain will end this weekend as a cold front moves into North Alabama and upper-level waves traverse the state. These waves will ride over the ridge of high pressure across the Central Gulf. Saturday will be partly cloudy with scattered storms. Some storms could be strong to severe with gusty winds and additional heavy rain. Highs will be in the middle 80s. Sunday will be very warm and humid with more scattered showers and storms as the front stalls across Central Alabama. High temperatures will be in the middle 80s.
