Alabama Skies: Wow! Look at these temps. Could autumn finally be on the way?

Published 8:06 pm Sunday, September 10, 2023

Don’t look now, but our first real cold front of the season could be heading our way. Of course, it could always change by the time it’s expected to arrive, but forecast models are hanging onto the possibility of a front that’s strong enough to not only know down humidity levels, but temperatures, too.

Here are some examples:

Today could be the warmest day this week for the entire state of Alabama. In a few days, we could have highs in the 70s in northern Alabama, highs in the 70s and 80s in central Alabama, and highs in the 80s on the Gulf Coast by Saturday. Even if temperatures don’t drop that much, we should still have a few days of much lower humidity.

We’re now watching four areas of interest in the Atlantic. Hurricane Lee is still expected to make a hard turn to the north so there are no threats to the Gulf South anytime soon.

North Alabama

Sunny with a high of 86. Partly cloudy Monday night with a low of 68.

Central Alabama

Fog early, then sunny with a high of 90. Mostly clear overnight with a low of 69.

South Alabama

Fog early, then sunny with a high in the lower 90s. A few isolate showers and storms are possible in the afternoon. Mostly clear overnight with a low of 68.

Gulf Coast

Sunny with a high near 92. There is a slight chance of a shower or thunderstorm in the afternoon. Mostly clear Monday night with a low of 70.
