One More Day of Record Warmth, Before Front Arrives Friday
For today, we are going to see a mix of sun and clouds and we should see record highs again. For Montgomery, the record high is 85° from 2012, today we are forecasting a high of 87°.
COLD FRONT ON THE WAY: A cold front will pass through tonight/early Friday morning in mostly dry fashion; a few scattered showers are possible over the northern quarter of the state late today and tonight, but meaningful rain isn’t expected, and by the time the front reaches South/Central Alabama, rain is not expected.
BIG COOL DOWN TOMORROW AND OVER THE WEEKEND: Tomorrow will be a day with a clearing sky and it will become breezy and cooler with a high around 80°. The weekend will be delightful with sunny pleasant days and clear chilly nights. Highs Saturday and Sunday will remain in the mid to upper 70s, with lows well down in the 40s.
FOOTBALL WEATHER: For round one of the high school playoff games tomorrow night, the weather will be clear and very cool with temperatures falling into the 50s; some stadiums could be in the 40s by the fourth quarter. You will need a jacket.
Auburn will host Vanderbilt Saturday (11a CT kickoff)… it will be a perfect day for football with a sunny sky… temperatures will climb from 67 at kickoff, to near 72 by the fourth quarter.
Alabama will be on the road; they play LSU Saturday night (7p CT kickoff)… the sky will be clear with temperatures falling through the 60s. A great night for football.
NEXT WEEK: Not much change. Mostly sunny days, fair nights. Highs in the 70s, lows in the 40s. The models have backed off the chance of rain late next week, and at this time, it looks to be another 10-14 days before significant rain event for the state.
