BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WBRC) – THE NEXT 24 HOURS: High pressure remains in control today, bringing a quiet stretch of weather with a clear sky and noticeably lower humidity. Expect a mainly sunny day, with only occasional thin high clouds or a few fair-weather clouds drifting by. Rain is not expected, and overall conditions will stay calm and comfortable. This morning starts pleasantly cool, running 5-10 degrees cooler than yesterday morning. This afternoon, high temperatures return to the low 80s.
THE NEXT BIG THING: The dry, less-humid pattern holds through Friday, but changes begin over the weekend as high pressure shifts east and Gulf moisture returns. Humidity will build back in, and a few disturbances in the upper levels will help bring back opportunities for showers and thunderstorms. For weekend plans, Saturday looks like the quieter day, while trends point to better coverage of rain and storms on Sunday. Once the storms return, they will linger into next week with occasional rounds of unsettled weather through mid-week.
