BIRMINGHAM, AL — Most of Alabama will stay under 90 degrees Monday, offering a pleasant stretch of weather for early August. An upper-level low to the east is expected to bring the potential for a few small, isolated showers during the afternoon and into the early evening hours, mainly across the eastern half of the state.
Temperatures Trend Slightly Below Average
Data from Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport shows Monday’s high temperature forecast at 86 degrees, notably below typical early August averages for the region. Overnight lows are expected to dip into the upper 60s, offering comfortable conditions overnight before warming resumes later in the week.
Isolated showers remain possible Monday afternoon and early Monday night, though coverage is expected to stay limited and concentrated mainly over the eastern half of Alabama, according to current forecast guidance.
Little Change Expected Through Midweek
Forecasters say Tuesday will bring little change, with highs expected in the 87 to 91 degree range and only isolated afternoon showers possible. Daily forecast data shows temperatures climbing steadily through the week, reaching 91 degrees Wednesday and 92 degrees Thursday, with overnight lows gradually rising into the low 70s.
Heat levels are expected to creep up further over the latter half of the week as an upper-level ridge begins to build over the region, though the risk of a pop-up afternoon shower or storm remains a daily possibility across Alabama during summer.
Weekend Brings Routine Summer Pattern
Looking ahead to the weekend, forecasters expect routine summer weather with partly sunny days, highs in the low 90s, and a few widely scattered showers and storms, mostly during the afternoon and evening hours. The chance of any one location getting wet on either weekend day is estimated at 20 to 30 percent…
