SUNNY MONDAY; RAIN CHANCES RETURN SATURDAY… Get outside and enjoy the wonderful mid-May weather on this Monday as we’re expecting full sunshine with high temperatures near the 80 degree mark. More sunshine is expected over the next few days with high temperatures gradually rising to around 90 by the time we get to the upcoming weekend. Our next rain chance will happen late Friday into Saturday when we could have showers around. Storms will be possible on Sunday as we move into a more summer-like pattern. Let’s look at a few forecast details.
BUILDING HEAT OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS… Tonight will be the last night when overnight lows will be in the 40s potentially for quite some time, perhaps until the fall season. Overnight lows by 6AM on Tuesday will be in the mid- to upper-40s across inland areas of south Alabama. Temperatures will be on the increase over the next few days. We easily could hit 90 degrees by the time we get to Saturday and/or Sunday.
FEW CLOUDS ON TUESDAY… While sunshine is the story on this Monday, we could have a few passing cumulus clouds on Tuesday, primarily in the afternoon and early evening hours. No rain is expected.
SHOWERS & STORMS POSSIBLE THIS WEEKEND… Our next chance for rain will happen this weekend when we will have scattered showers and thunderstorms around. For now, severe weather parameters remain low. These storms should be scattered in nature and not produce large rain totals. We note that much of the southern half of our region closer to the coast is now involved in an extensive ongoing drought, thus we really need the rain across our region!
SET UP APP ALERTS… We send quite a bit of Low-Level Alerts in our RedZone Weather app. The app is totally free for you! redzoneweather.com/app is the link where you see the download links to your respective app store for iOS and for Android devices. Once you have the app downloaded to your smartphone or tablet device, be sure to visit the Alerts tab to customize the alerts you would like to receive straight from me.
