Good Morning! Our very warm pattern continues. A weakening front is approaching the state. Our forecast has been rain-free for several days. But, by this afternoon and tonight that could change, as widely scattered showers and storms start to pop up. Coverage on the number of thundershowers will increase Tuesday as the front stalls in north central Alabama. Even on Wednesday there could be a few leftover showers and thunderstorms. It will be a very warm week. We could be teasing 90 by Friday and Saturday. Here’s my brief video forecast discussion.
TODAY: Continued very warm. Limited sunshine. High 86. Light south wind 5 to 10 mph. Widely scattered showers and storms are possible this afternoon, this evening, and tonight as a weakening front approaches. Very mild tonight. Low 63.
The Front enters the state and stalls.
Future radar: Spotty storms late this afternoon and this evening, becoming a little more numerous tomorrow.

NEXT FEW DAYS: The weakening front approaching will stall across north central Alabama. Scattered showers and storms will be a little more prominent Tuesday.
