A few scattered clouds are in place from Fort Payne, AL SW towards
Birmingham, AL. Temperatures with abundant sunshine have climbed
into the lower to mid 70s in most locations. Winds are from the N
or NE between 5 and 10 mph with some gusts to 15 mph sporadically.
Expect these clouds to dissipate with the loss of daytime heating.
Then winds should become light and variable later this evening,
especially in sheltered valley locations. However, models continue
to bring drier air SSW into the area overnight. This may keep fog
from being quite as dense overnight in portions of NE AL. However,
kept patchy fog in the grids to account for some fog.

(Sunday through Tuesday)

Strong upper level ridging over the Texas and Missouri Southern
Plains area weakens significantly into Sunday, as a weakening
upper low and associated longwave trough axis moves through the
Pacific NW. The eastern edge of this upper level ridging slides
east and into northern AL Sunday into early next week as it
strengthens over the SE CONUS. This will keep the weather dry and
should warm things up. Highs should climb back into the upper 70
to lower 80s in most areas Sunday and Monday.
A more impressive warmup may be in store towards midweek, as a 593
mb upper level ridge develops in several models centered over NE
Texas on Tuesday. Models currently are hitting the 80 to 85
degree range, but this may be underdone. Would not be surprised to
see some 83 to 87 degree highs based on 925 mb thickness values
with little cloud cover expected. Lows should warm into the lower
to mid 50s by then.

(Tuesday night through Saturday)

Not much change into Thursday, except the upper ridge weakens some
as it edges further east over northern Lousiana. Some thin high
clouds may push into portions of northern Alabama Thursday night.
Not sure they will be thick enough to affect overnight lows much,
as they continue to slowly warm.
A stronger cold front extending southward from south central
Canada is shown approaching the southeastern CONUS Friday into the
upcoming weekend. This should bring a denser area of high clouds
across the area on Friday. Models may be under-forecasting the
widespread nature of the high cloud right now, so temperatures
could be a tad lower, but not much. Highs still should climb into
the 80 to 85 degree range though (upper ridge - not quite as
strong as earlier in the week).
Friday night into Saturday, as the front moves east towards the
Ohio Valley region, low/mid level moisture increases and lift
moves into the Tennessee Valley. Not sure if moisture content will
be high enough to produce heavy rainfall, but definitely some
light rainfall looks possible.
By Saturday night into Sunday morning, this could change as even
stronger lift moves into northern Alabama and southern middle
Tennessee. Some heavier showers look possible with maybe some
scattered thunderstorms, but shear is too weak for any storms to
be very strong.
