FIRST ALERT: Isolated showers possible Saturday, chance for rain Sunday night

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WBRC) - You can expect another chilly start for Saturday morning with lows near 50º. More clouds will be mixing in by the morning due to an active northwest flow aloft.

A few showers, including the possibility of an isolated storm, may materialize in this flow pattern and impact parts of the area. The greater chance of this happening will be in locations along and north of I-59/20. Most areas will remain dry, with highs in the middle to upper 70s.

Dry weather is expected for Saturday night and continuing through lunchtime on Mother’s Day.

Rain chances will start to ramp up again Sunday evening as a cold front approaches. Showers and storms will be likely late Sunday night and continuing into Monday morning. If an organized complex of storms develops and drops southeast, we could see some strong wind gusts, much like yesterday. For now, however, the chance for organized severe weather remains low. The higher rain chances look to impact the first part of the day on Monday, with a break in the wet weather in the afternoon.

STORMY AT TMES NEXT WEEK: The system impacting the state late in the weekend will stall over the region. This will make for an unsettled weather setup through the middle portion of next week. Another round of showers and storms could impact the area by Tuesday afternoon and evening. Forecast guidance also shows a round of showers and storms by late Wednesday and continuing into Thursday of next week. It won’t rain all the time, but I would plan on some wet weather impacts. High temperatures will remain in the 70s next week, with lows in the 50s and 60s.
