Don’t Miss This: Alabama Enjoys a Warm Start to the Week, But Stormy Weather Looms by Midweek!

After weeks of winter’s ups and downs, Alabama is getting a taste of spring! Warm temperatures will dominate the start of the week, with some areas nearing record highs. But before you start making weekend picnic plans, be aware—stormy weather could crash the party by midweek.

Here’s What’s Coming:

Birmingham:

  • Monday: Beautiful sunshine and warm air will make it feel like a day in early spring. Highs will hit 75°F (24°C), with a mild evening low of 54°F (12°C).
  • Tuesday: Clouds start to move in, but the warmth sticks around. We could see highs matching or even breaking records set back in 1957. Expect 75°F (24°C) during the day and 57°F (14°C) overnight.
  • Wednesday: Clouds will dominate, and scattered showers could pop up. Highs will be around 77°F (25°C), setting another potential record. Lows will stay warm at 64°F (18°C).

Montgomery:

  • Monday: Mostly sunny with warm temperatures reaching 76°F (25°C). The evening cools down to 48°F (9°C).
  • Tuesday: Clouds will thicken, but the warmth won’t go anywhere. Highs at 75°F (24°C), with lows near 56°F (14°C).
  • Wednesday: Warm, muggy, and partly sunny with a high of 78°F (25°C). You’ll feel that “pre-storm” humidity creeping in. Lows will be around 62°F (16°C).

Mobile:

  • Monday: A mix of clouds and sunshine with highs around 71°F (22°C). Lows will dip to 51°F (10°C).
  • Tuesday: Mostly cloudy, but still warm with a high of 75°F (24°C) and lows near 54°F (12°C).
  • Wednesday: Cloudy skies will dominate, with highs around 72°F (22°C) and lows at 62°F (17°C).

Midweek Storms on the Horizon:

While these warm, sunny days are a treat, they’ll also set the stage for thunderstorms to develop by Wednesday afternoon, especially in northern and central Alabama. There’s no guarantee of severe storms just yet, but don’t be surprised if they roll in with gusty winds and heavy rain.

What You Should Do:

  • Enjoy the warmth while it lasts! Take a walk, hit the park, or just sit outside with a cold drink.
  • Stay weather-aware midweek. Have a rain jacket or umbrella ready, and keep an eye on local forecasts for any storm warnings.
  • Keep an emergency plan in mind, especially if severe storms develop.

Final Thoughts:

Alabama is giving us a taste of spring, but as always, the weather can turn on a dime. Soak in the warmth, but be prepared for a few surprises by midweek. Stay safe, stay dry, and enjoy the sunny side while it’s here!
