James Spann forecasts a dry weekend for Alabama until Sunday night from Alabama NewsCenter on Vimeo.
SUNNY FRIDAY: Following the fast-moving line of windy showers last night, a new surge of cool, dry air has settled into Alabama this morning. Many communities over the northern half of the state are in the cool 40s; look for a high between 68 and 72 degrees today with sunshine in full supply. The average high for Birmingham on May 7 is 80.
The weather stays dry Saturday; with a partly to mostly sunny sky the high will be in the mid to upper 70s. The daytime hours Sunday should remain rain-free. The high will be close to 80 degrees with a partially sunny sky. A band of showers and storms will likely push into the state Sunday night, however, ahead of a cold front.
NEXT WEEK: That front will become stationary across the Deep South early next week, and the weather looks unsettled with some risk of showers and thunderstorms daily Monday through Thursday. Timing out the individual rounds of rain is almost impossible at this point; amounts of 2-3 inches look likely Sunday night through Thursday. For now the overall severe weather threat looks low during the week as instability values won’t be especially high. Dry air returns to the state Friday.
RAIN UPDATE: Here are rain totals for the year so far, and the departure from average:
- Mobile — 27.09 inches (4.82 inches above average)
- Huntsville — 25.31 inches (3.94 above average)
- Muscle Shoals — 25.14 inches (4.78 above average)
- Birmingham — 25.1 inches (3.41 above average)
- Dothan — 23.93 inches (4.3 above average)
- Tuscaloosa — 22.61 inches (1.68 above average)
- Montgomery — 19.54 inches (0.12 above average)
- Anniston — 15.29 inches (5.28 inches below average)
ON THIS DATE IN 1840: A powerful tornado wrecked many boats at the Natchez Landing in Mississippi, then plowed through the city on the bluff. The tornado killed 317 people and injured 109 others. The storm is the second-deadliest tornado on record.
