If you step outside you should notice two things: the heat and humidity! Most areas didn't drop below 80F last night, which is quite warm. At 10pm last night, Birmingham still registered 90F. For today, temperatures will still climb into the upper 90's but with increased moisture levels, it will actually feel much warmer outside. Heat indices could max out between 110-113F today. Rain chances should also improve with highest chances later this weekend. However, with temps progged to climb near 100, PW values over 2 inches, and high dewpoints, I feel confident in calling for a chance of rain today. I would put my probability around 50% late this afternoon, then decreasing after nightfall.
To the right you can see what remains of Tropical Depression 5. It should bring higher rain chances, increased cloud cover, and cooler temperatures for us over the weekend. The start of next week looks to be cooler and wetter as the low pressure area associated with TD5 "bounces" around the Southeast.
Forecast:
HI: 96-98F LO:75-78F %RAIN: 50% to the south (Millport, Vernon, Fayette, Berry)
40% north of a line from Sulligent-Winfield
