BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WBRC) - Dry air remains in place across East Alabama while warmer, moist air is flowing into West Alabama this morning. The band of rain over Mississippi will move east which could bring a few showers this morning or early this afternoon but with dry air already in place the rain intensity will likely weaken as it continues moving east. Severe Storms are still not expected across Alabama. Highs today will again approach 90-degrees but hotter temperatures are just ahead.

The air mass will continue its moistening trend through tonight and Monday with isolated showers still expected along a front which will likely weaken as it approaches the I-59 Corridor.

Behind the front a strong ridge of high pressure will move into place by Tuesday and will likely remain anchored over Alabama through next Saturday. The resulting sinking air will help provide rain-free conditions but temperatures will continue rising to around 95 degrees each afternoon through the end of the work-week and heading into The Memorial Day Weekend Holiday
