ABC 33/40 Forecast

Today's Forecast

83°
49°

Sunday, May 26, 2013
Forecaster: Bill Murray

Saturday was a beautiful day across Central Alabama, with lots of sunshine and seasonally warm temperatures. Everyone made it into the 80s, except for stations over Northeast Alabama. Overnight lows were in the upper 40s and lower 50s.

SIMPLE FORECAST: The forecast for the next seven days is ridiculously simple. High pressure will take up residence east of North Carolina and we will be protected under its western edge. The ring of fire will be pushed to our west through at least Friday. Highs will be in the middle and upper 80s each day. Overnight lows will gradually warm through the 60s.

WEEKEND SHOWERS: The ridge should weaken enough to allow a cold front to get close enough for us to reintroduce a chance of showers and storms by Saturday or Sunday.
