A BREATH OF FRESH AIR: Lets begin with a look at low temperatures across Alabama this morning:

Fort Payne 45
Cullman 46
Crossville 46
Ashland 47
Talladega 48
Pinson 49
Birmingham Airport 54

The weather doesn’t get much better than this in late May in Alabama; lots of sunshine, low humidity, and temperatures below normal. Most places will not reach 80 today thanks to a cool and very dry airmass that dropped into the state yesterday. Tonight will be another cool one as the mercury drops well down in the 50s in most places.

REST OF THE WEEK: Temperatures and humidity levels will slowly rise tomorrow and Friday, and enough moisture could be in place for a few isolated showers late Friday afternoon. But for now the chance of one spot getting wet is so small we will leave it out of the forecast.

MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND: We will be in the process of making the transition from dry weather to wet weather during the holiday weekend, and we will slowly phase in the opportunity for rain. A weak cold front will ease through the state on Saturday, becoming stationary Sunday over the central part of the state. We will mention the chance of a few showers both Saturday and Sunday, but no wash-out is expected. On Sunday the best chance of showers should be south of Birmingham as drier air tries to slip into north Alabama temporarily behind the front.

It still looks like the best coverage of showers and storms will come on Memorial Day, as an upper trough approaches Alabama from the west.

WET WEEK? The computer models continue to advertise relatively wet weather for Alabama and the deep south much of next week, with a deep moisture pool in place and a slow moving upper trough passing through. Looks like there will be a decent chance of rain every day in the May 30-June 3 time frame. Hopefully this will bring some beneficial rain to the state; Birmingham’s rain deficit remains over five inches (5.20” to be exact).

AT THE BEACH: Lots of sunshine each day through Friday, with afternoon temperatures in the 80 to 85 degree range. A check of the sea water temperature earlier today at Pensacola showed 80.8 degrees at 8:00 a.m. Scattered showers and storms will begin to increase along the coast over the weekend, especially Sunday and Monday.

SOUTH ALABAMA HEAT: The mercury soared to 97 degrees at Mobile yesterday, thanks to unusually dry air over the Port City. Pensacola also reached 97 yesterday, a new record high (the old record was 96 in 1941).

NEW ENGLAND COLD: Temperatures in Boston will stay in the 40s all day today with periods of rain. Mt. Washington reported 32 degrees at 8:00 this morning!
