IT WAS A CHILLY START TO THE MORNING, BUT WE’RE WARMING UP NICELY THIS AFTERNOON. A VERY QUIET WEATHER PATTERN, NOT ONLY TODAY, BUT OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. I WANTED TO SHOW YOU THE UPPER LEVEL. LOOK HERE AND WE’VE GOT A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN. AND SO WHAT THAT DOES IS THAT KEEPS US MAINLY DRY AND HOT, WHERE YOU SEE ALL THESE BRIGHT COLORS HERE, THAT’S GOING TO BE BASICALLY A PIPELINE OF MOISTURE AND STORMS HOLDING JUST TO OUR NORTH OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. THAT MEANS THIS RIDGE HELPING TO KEEP US DRY, BUT ALSO IT’S GOING TO ALLOW OUR TEMPERATURES TO FEEL ALMOST SUMMER LIKE. OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS, WE COULD SEE SOME RECORDS FALL IN ADDITION TO THE WARM WEATHER ON THE WAY, IT IS GOING TO BE BREEZY AT TIMES TOMORROW, ENOUGH THAT YOU’RE GOING TO NOTICE IT IF YOU’RE OUT AND ABOUT. HERE’S A LOOK AT OUR WIND GUSTS AT 11:30 A.M. TOMORROW, GUSTING OVER 30MPH. WE COULD EVENTUALLY END UP WITH A WIND ADVISORY TOMORROW. THAT’S SOMETHING THAT WE’LL BE WATCHING THROUGH THE DAY. SO IT’S GOING TO BE BREEZY, BUT ALSO FEELING ALMOST HOT WITH HIGHS IN THE MID TO UPPER 80S. TOMORROW, THE WINDS WILL REMAIN ELEVATED INTO THE EVENING HOURS AND THEN EVENTUALLY AS WE HEAD TOWARDS WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING, WE WILL BE WATCHING STORMS TO OUR NORTH. SO WE JUST TALKED ABOUT THAT RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE KEEPING US MAINLY DRY. STORM PREDICTION CENTER TRIMMING BACK THAT RISK OF ANY KIND OF STRONG TO SEVERE STORM OVER CENTRAL OR NORTH ALABAMA. IN FACT, I WOULD BE SHOCKED IF WE REALLY GET ANY RAIN OUT OF THIS SYSTEM. THE MAIN RISK FOR SEVERE WEATHER TOMORROW AND REALLY THROUGH THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS, IS GOING TO BE WHERE YOU SAW THOSE BRIGHT COLORS ON THE NORTHERN EDGE OF THAT RIDGE. SO LET’S TAKE A LOOK HERE AT THE FUTURE RADAR, THIS IS EARLY TOMORROW MORNING. WE ARE DRY. WE’VE GOT STORMS ONGOING TO OUR WEST AND NORTHWEST. AND AS WE MOVE TOWARDS 3:00, WE’RE STILL DRY. WE COULD SEE SOME STORMS DEVELOP AND FIRE TO OUR JUST TO OUR NORTHWEST OVER PARTS OF REALLY WESTERN TENNESSEE. THIS IS 9 P.M. THIS IS THAT LINE WE’LL BE WATCHING THAT COULD BE STRONG TO SEVERE. BUT WATCH WHAT HAPPENS AS IT GETS CLOSE TO ALABAMA. IT JUST KIND OF STALLS OUT. SO THAT’S WHY WE’RE NOT CONCERNED ABOUT SEVERE WEATHER HERE. WEDNESDAY OR EARLY ON THURSDAY AS THOSE STORMS REMAIN JUST TO OUR NORTH. WE’RE MAINLY DRY REALLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH SATURDAY WITH TEMPERATURES IN THOSE MID TO UPPER 80S EACH DAY. WE COULD HAVE SOME RECORDS FALL, AND I WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF THERE ARE SOME COMMUNITIES THAT ACTUALLY TOUCH 90 DEGREES BEFORE THE WEEK IS OVER. LOOKING TOWARDS THE WEEKEND THOUGH, WE DO EVENTUALLY BRING IN OUR NEXT CHANCE OF WIDESPREAD RAIN AND THUNDER THAT ARRIVES ON SUNDAY, AND THAT’S WHY WE HAVE AN IMPACT DAY SUNDAY. JUST BECAUSE WE’LL HAVE ENOUGH RAIN AND STORMS IN THE FORECAST THAT THEY COULD IMPACT YOUR OUTDOOR PLANS TOO SOON. FOR US TO BE SPECIFIC ON ANY KIND OF TIMING OR IMPACTS OF THIS NEXT SYSTEM, SO MAKE SURE YOU’RE CHECKING BACK FOR UPDATES ON THE RISK LEVEL AND THE THREATS AS WE GET CLOSER TO SUNDAY. NOW, IT IS WORTH NOTING THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER HAS ALREADY PLACED PARTS OF CENTRAL AND NORTH ALABAMA UNDER A SLIGHT RISK SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY. BUT I WANT TO REMIND YOU, THIS IS REALLY FAR OUT. SO THIS THREAT LEVEL COULD GO UP OR EVEN DOWN AS WE GET CLOSER TO SUNDAY. RIGHT NOW, WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW IS THAT THERE WILL BE SOME RAIN AND THUNDER. LOOKS LIKE IT STARTS PRETTY EARLY IN THE MORNING, SPREADING ACROSS THE STATE DURING THE DAY. SO ENOUGH RAIN THAT YES, YOU WOULD MAYBE WANT TO HAVE A BACKUP FOR THOSE OUTDOOR PLANS OR MOVE YOUR OUTDOOR PLANS TO SATURDAY ALTOGETHER. HERE’S A LOOK TOWARDS 1 P.M. PRETTY GOOD COVERAGE STILL OF RAIN AND THUNDER AT TIMES. ONCE AGAIN, WE’LL BE UPDATING THIS FORECAST THROUGH THE REST OF THE WEEK AND IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. A BIG STORY HERE IS GOING TO BE
