QUITE WARM TODAY; COOLER WEATHER ARRIVES LATER THIS WEEK… We start the week feeling like summer and we end the week feeling like fall. High temperatures on this Monday will be in the upper-80s across the region with plenty of sunshine. By Friday, highs will struggle to get to the 80 degree mark. Sunshine is expected all week long with only a few passing clouds at various times. Our next big weather shift will happen on Thursday when a cold front moves through our region. Overnight lows by Saturday morning could easily be in the upper-40s for most spots across the interior of southwest Alabama.
QUIET WEATHER PATTERN AHEAD LOCALLY… There continues to be good evidence in all of the major weather model guidance that our area will have an extended streak of nice, quiet, sunny weather. I see no signs of severe weather and very little chance of rain at any point in the next 7-10 days.
30% CHANCE OF TROPICAL DEVELOPMENT NEAR ANTILLES… The National Hurricane Center is monitoring a tropical wave located several hundred miles east of the Lesser Antilles in the open waters of the Atlantic Ocean. NHC says there is now a 30% chance of formal tropical development over the next day or so before upper-level winds become unfavorable for additional development on Wednesday. Regardless of if this system briefly becomes a tropical storm, shear will likely rip the system apart in the next few days. The rest of the Atlantic basin is quiet.
