SUMMARY: Meteorologist Grant Skinner forecasts a cold start on Sunday morning, but temperatures will rise to around 70°F by afternoon as high pressure shifts eastward. This shift will bring warmth and moisture ahead of anticipated showers and storms on Monday and Tuesday due to a stalled cold front. Current temperatures range from 34°F to 45°F. Light showers may occur in areas northwest of I-65, with an 80% chance of rain expected on Monday and Tuesday. Following this wet period, drier and cooler conditions will settle in midweek, with temperatures dropping into the 30s by Thursday and Friday.

We are starting this morning cold, but not as cold as yesterday morning. Most places are starting in the 40’s, and there are scattered clouds. Today, as high pressure shifts to the east, we will see a shift to a south wind bringing warmth and moisture to the News 5 area. Cloud cover will continue to build, and highs will push at around 70°. Some brief showers are possible mainly in our northwestern spots, but that rain chance remains small. Overnight Sunday into Monday as a cold front approaches the area and stalls, rain chances will starkly increase with more widespread showers and storms possible on Monday and Tuesday. Isolated flash flooding is possible as multiple rounds of showers and storms move through the area. After the cold front eventually passes Tuesday night into Wednesday, much cooler and drier air will begin to push into the area. Lows will be back in the 30’s to end next week with highs in the 50’s.

SUMMARY: The 4th of July forecast for Alabama is hot and mostly dry, with temperatures reaching the low 90s and heat index values in the mid to upper 90s, but below heat advisory levels. Scattered, brief showers and storms are expected primarily in central Alabama during the afternoon, lasting only 10-15 minutes before dissipating. Evening conditions will be warm and humid, favorable for fireworks. A low-pressure system off Georgia’s coast poses a medium chance of tropical development that will affect Florida and the Carolinas with increased rain, but Alabama and its beaches will remain unaffected. The weekend will stay hot with limited rain chances and lower humidity.
