SUNNY SUNDAY: Another gorgeous day is ahead with nothing but sunshine and blue sky. It will be a warmer day with most locations likely making it into the lower and mid 80s. No chance of rain and any outdoor plans you have will be A-OKAY as far as the weather.

THE WEEK AHEAD: A ridge builds in over the Southeast and this ridge will remain firmly in control of our weather for much of the week ahead. The days will feature more sun than clouds, and nights will be clear. Lows in the 60s are what most of us can expect. The weather stays active to the west of the state, where multiple days of severe weather are expected across the Plains and Midwest. The ridge will keep that active weather away from Alabama for much of the week ahead. By the end of the week, it looks as though we are going to see our rain chances increase. A lot of model divergence for the end of the week, but as of now, we will mention the chance of showers and storms, but at this time severe weather does not look to be a threat for Alabama.

Expect moderating temperatures this week too, and we are going to be seeing mid and upper 80s all week, making this the warmest week of weather so far this year. I would not be surprised to see some 90s on the maps across Alabama this upcoming week as well. The GFS model output below continues to run a little warmer than what we are expecting, but once again you get the general idea of the overall temperature trend the next two weeks.
