Stormy weather returns this weekend with warmer temperatures
Weekend Outlook: The weather pattern starts to change this weekend. The trough will move northeast as the high pressure sits over the Gulf of Mexico pumping in plenty of tropical air.
Saturday will be partly cloudy with scattered showers and storms. High temperatures will be in the upper 80s to lower 90s.
Sunday: The area of high pressure over the Gulf will continue to pump in plenty of tropical moisture over Alabama as an upper-level wave moves across the state. Expect it to be mostly cloudy with more numerous showers and storms. High temperatures will be in the upper 80s.
Next Week Outlook: Monday will have numerous storms as the upper-level wave moves across the Southeast U.S. Some rain could be heavy. Highs will be in the upper 80s. Scattered storms are expected on Tuesday with highs around 90°.
There will be a ridge of high pressure aloft over the Southern Plains, and Alabama will be on the eastern side with northwest flow over us. This will reduce the chance of storms on Wednesday through Friday giving us more sunshine. However, we must watch out for some MCSs (lines of storms) moving in from the northwest daily. High temperatures will heat up into the lower 90s, and the heat index back around 100-105°+.
