Warming Trend Starts Sunday…Record Warmth Possible…Showers Midweek… #alwx @wvua23

We begin our week on a nice note with dry conditions through Monday and above-average temperatures. This unseasonable warmth will last with us through the entire week with some rain chances mixed in. Sunday is when we start our warming trend with highs in the mid 60s before we reach the 70s by Monday, so take advantage of the nice weather before the thicker clouds and showers arrive midweek. These showers will be associated with a stationary boundary that sets up shop just to our north.

Tuesday is when some of us can expect scattered showers and a noticeable increase in cloud cover as that front nears central Alabama, however temperatures still remain quite warm for late February. In fact, all of us should see our first 80s of the year by Wednesday with very breezy conditions as winds stream in from the south at around 15-20 mph. Most of Wednesday will remain dry, but there is the potential for additional scattered showers and possibly storms arriving late Wednesday night. For now, we do not expect any severe weather.

Record warmth will become the main story midweek for both Wednesday and Thursday as highs reach the middle 80s under partly to mostly cloudy skies. Tuscaloosa’s record high for both of those days is 83, which seems to be in jeopardy. As we head into the weekend, skies begin to clear some as temps remain well above average in the upper 70s with dry conditions expected.
