First Alert: Chilly Sunday morning with a few showers Sunday night

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WBRC) - Happy Saturday! First Alert AccuTrack Satellite and Radar shows us dry, making for a beautiful and mostly clear Saturday night sky. Tonight, temperatures will fall into the upper 50s by 10 p.m. Expect winds from the northwest around 5 mph.

The forecast looks mostly dry as we bring on Sunday but expect a mix of sun and clouds for Sunday morning. Temperatures will start off cool in the 40s and top out in the upper 60s and low 70s by the afternoon. If you’re headed to the race in Talladega, probably wouldn’t hurt to wear a light jacket or some sleeves. Winds will be out of the north at 5-10 mph. Some showers will be possible on Sunday night. I’m holding on to a 20% chance.

Start of the week: A more active and unsettled weather pattern takes over next week as a series of disturbances passes through the Deep South. The start of the week looks mainly dry for now with just a 20% chance of isolated showers on Tuesday. Morning lows will still run cooler than average in the 40s for Monday and Tuesday with highs in the upper 60s Monday and lower 70s Tuesday. Monday will likely be sunny to partly sunny. More cloud coverage is expected Tuesday, with a mostly cloudy sky possible.

Next Big Thing: We have a First Alert for wet weather becoming more widespread by mid-week with Wednesday looking like the day with the highest rain coverage (around 70%). Rain and the possibility of a few storms will stick around for Thursday and Friday, but we are not seeing any severe weather concerns at this time. A good 1-2″ of rain will be possible across Central Alabama with higher rainfall totals across the southern half of the state through the end of next week. Temperatures will range from the upper 60s to low 70s Wednesday through Friday afternoon with lows more seasonable in the 50s.
