Scattered light rainshowers continue this afternoon across areas
of northeast Alabama, primarily south of Dekalb County at this
time. The temperature forecast remains on track, with locations
west of I-65 currently in the l80s-m80s range, and areas east of
I-65 in the u70s-l80s. Through the rest of the afternoon, an
upper level disturbance is forecast to move south on the backside
of the upper level low currently situated over the carolinas. This
disturbance will provide sufficient lift and moisture to support
a low chance of rain, primarily affecting areas east of I-65. Rain
chances should dwindle overnight, with little to no rain
expected. Overnight, mostly clear skies in addition to light
winds should allow for a decent radiational cooling setup to
occur, promoting some patchy fog development in fog prone
regions, in addition to locations that receive measurable
rainfall. Low temperatures will dip into the l60s-m60s tonight.

Upper level ridging will build over the Ohio and Tennessee
valleys on Wednesday then shift east over the Appalachians by
Thursday. Meanwhile, the aforementioned surface inverted trough
looks to shift to the northwest of our local area as high pressure
digs down from Canada and over the northeastern portion of the
CONUS. Additionally, Hi-Res model guidance indicates that much
drier air will be filtered into the region from the northeast
beginning on Wednesday and persisting through late week, resulting
in much more pleasant conditions (less humid). Thus, no showers
or storms are forecast for Wednesday and Thursday at this time.
Temperatures on Wednesday are expected to be similar to today
(Tuesday), with highs in the lower to mid 80s east of I-65 and in
the mid to upper 80s west of I-65. Lows will then drop into the
lower to mid 60s Wednesday night. As more dry air is filtered into
the region from the northeast on Thursday, highs in the upper 70s
to lower 80s are likely for northeast Alabama and southern middle
Tennessee. Highs in the lower to mid 80s are anticipated for most
other locations.

The late week period will shape up to be pretty nice as high pressure
centered over the Northeast continues to enforce a dry and cooler
airmass down into the Tennessee Valley. The upper ridge will slowly
meander to the east toward the later half of the weekend and there is
some evidence of a shortwave disturbance preceding an upper trough
that may bring chances for showers and storms on Sunday. This
appears to be an outlier for now, but will need to monitor trends as
we get to the later part of the week. We will maintain a dry forecast
through Monday with highs in the upper 70s/mid 80s each afternoon and
lows in the mid 50s to mid 60s.

VFR conditions are expected into the overnight across the area, as
a light NE flow continues across the region. Mostly clear skies in
the predawn could result in patchy fog development, which was
noted from 08-09Z to 13Z. Afterwards VFR weather is forecast.
Winds this evening will be light from the NE, then light from the
E-SE during Wed.
