BIRMINGHAM, Alabama — Good news for anyone with outdoor plans this week: Alabama is heading into a long dry stretch with nothing but sunshine in the forecast. Birmingham started Monday October 19 at a crisp 45 degrees and is warming to 71 degrees this afternoon. Our forecast shows temperatures climbing a little more each day, reaching 81 degrees by next week.
Our Forecast: Sunshine Every Single Day
After a picture perfect Sunday October 18 with a high near 70 degrees, the same calm pattern is sticking around. Our team expects sunny, pleasant afternoons and clear, cool nights all week across Alabama. There is no sign of rain or storms breaking up the stretch.
For many families, this is the kind of week that makes fall in the South special. Comfortable afternoons, cool evenings and dry ground make it easy to spend time outside from morning through sunset.
Why We Are Confident It Stays Dry
The 7-day rain outlook running through 8:00 AM EDT Sunday October 25 shows a completely dry picture over Alabama. All the rain on the map stays far away, out over the Gulf waters and well off the Atlantic coast. That means you can leave the umbrella at home all week.
A dry week also means no weather delays for commuters, school events or weekend travel across the state. Roads will stay clear, and outdoor sports fields should be in good shape for games.
