MILD/WARM DAYS, COOL NIGHTS AHEAD; RAIN POSSIBLE THIS WEEKEND… Most communities will remain completely dry on this Tuesday, however a few widely scattered sprinkles and showers may be possible this afternoon into this evening, particularly across west Alabama. Temperatures will rise into the mid 70s across south Alabama and northwest Florida today. Warm temperatures are in the forecast over the next few days. Highs will be in the low 70s on Thursday and Friday due to an unseasonably warm air mass in place across much of the Deep South. Rain and thunderstorms will be possible later this week, specifically on Friday into Saturday, due to an approaching cold front.

A FEW WIDELY SPACED SPRINKLES & SHOWERS TODAY AND TOMORROW… Nearly all of us across the region are expected to be dry today, however rain chances are not completely at zero today. One or two rogue areas of sprinkles and rain showers may be possible. The greatest chance of showers (even though the overall chance is quite low) will happen across west Alabama in areas west of the Alabama River.

RAIN CHANCES INCREASE LATER THIS WEEK… A cold front will very slowly drift toward our local area later this week, bringing with it a chance of showers and perhaps a few thunderstorms on Friday into Saturday. Usually when a cold front approaches, it sweeps on through fairly quickly. This is a different situation. The frontal boundary will approach the Deep South midweek and not actually cross through until Saturday or Sunday. Out ahead of the front, unsettled, warm conditions will allow scattered showers and storms to form across the region Friday and Saturday.

COOLER TEMPS NEXT WEEK… The aforementioned cold front will finally cross the area this weekend. Cooler, drier air will move in Sunday into Monday of the upcoming week. Afternoon highs will be in the upper 60s on Sunday with low 60s likely for highs on Monday. Overnight lows will dip into the upper 30s and low 40s next week.
