Heat Relief on the Way
ANOTHER RECORD HOT DAY: Afternoon highs will once again be well above average as mid to upper 90s are expected. Average high for Montgomery this time of year is 84°, and the record is 94° from 1984. We are forecasting a high of 96°, so it looks to be a new record for the city. After today, temperatures will be trending down and then taking a tumble later in the week.
CHANGE ON THE WAY: The first significant cold front of the fall will be making its way into the northwestern part of the state during the day today, and will slowly progress across the state by noon on Wednesday. With the amount of low-level moisture and instability that will be ahead of the front, this will bring an increased risk for scattered showers and thunderstorms. The sky will start off mostly clear, but clouds will start to fill in as the front makes its slow progression southeastward across the state.
MIDWEEK THROUGH THE WEEKEND: The front will stall or slow down drastically as it makes its way towards the coast, and an upper level low will develop in the eastern part of the country. This will bring in another wave of cooler and drier air into the area. No rain is expected to be with this low, and you can expect mostly clear to sunny sky with afternoon highs dropping to the lower 80s on Thursday and Friday with mid 80s throughout the weekend. Nights will be pleasant with overnight lows in the 50s.
