Great Weekend Ahead! Friday Forecast Update – 4pm

Good Friday afternoon! Our weather has turned out great this afternoon, with temperatures in the lower to middle 80s across Alabama. Skies are mostly sunny and will remain clear to mostly clear during the overnight hours tonight. If you have plans outdoors or are going to a local high school football game, expect great weather. Temperatures will fall into the upper 70s after 7pm, then upper 60s around 10pm. Lows will reach the upper 50s across much of Alabama tonight. 

As a surface high remains in control of our weather through the weekend, I don’t expect many weather changes. Highs will remain in the middle 80s, under a mostly sunny skies. Due to dry air and clear skies, temperatures will cool quickly during the overnight hours, with most areas in the upper 50s at night over the weekend. 

A weak cold front will move into Alabama from the northwest on Monday and Tuesday. While I don’t have a widespread rain chance in the forecast, a few afternoon showers are possible. At this point, it sure looks like most of the state will remain rain free…

Alabama takes on Ole Miss on Saturday, at Bryant-Denny Stadium. Look for a great gameday forecast, with a good supply of sun all day and clear skies that night. Temperatures will top out in the middle to upper 80s on Saturday, with temperatures falling into the upper 70s at gametime. Kickoff is at 5:30pm in Tuscaloosa… Look for temperatures in the lower 70s at the end of the game at Bryant-Denny.

The tropics are quiet at this time, and no development is expected over the next couple of days…
