Montgomery Weather: Down here in Montgomery, Alabama, we’re in for a dry spell throughout the rest of the workweek, thanks to some high pressure taking charge. This morning, the skies are graced with sunshine, and we can expect some high clouds rolling in later this afternoon. Now, as we look ahead to tomorrow, it’s shaping up to be a bit cloudier as moisture levels kick up a notch.
The temperatures are doing their own dance, hitting around 60 degrees this afternoon and warming up into the mid-60s tomorrow afternoon. That breezy touch we felt yesterday is taking a break.
But hold on, the weekend is creeping in with its own weather drama. Southerly winds are set to bring in loads of moisture and warmth, pushing those highs into the lower 70s on Saturday. This means the skies will be mostly cloudy, and we might get a visit from some scattered showers and, who knows, maybe even a thunderstorm or two.
Keep an eye out for a few scattered showers tomorrow night. The peak of wet weather action is expected Saturday night into Sunday morning as a robust cold front charges through Alabama. This front will tango with warm, moist conditions and plenty of wind energy, setting the stage for blustery winds from late Saturday through sunset on Sunday. Brace yourself for the possibility of strong thunderstorms Saturday night, although the certainty depends on a few weather ingredients playing nice.
These late-year forecasts are always a bit of a puzzle. Will there be enough energy to fuel strong storms? Will the right ingredients align at the perfect time? Well, as of Thursday morning, it seems like our recipe has enough ingredients for at least a few strong to severe storms. The main concern looks to be strong to damaging wind gusts, and we can’t completely rule out a spin-up tornado.

Now, behind all this action, a colder air mass is on the horizon. Picture this: Sunday morning’s temperatures, starting off in the 60s, take a nosedive into the 40s by 5 p.m. Add a brisk northerly wind, and you’ve got yourself a chilly day!
Expect highs to hang around the 50s on both Monday and Tuesday before inching up to about 60 degrees on Wednesday and Thursday. Overnight lows will dip into the 30s, promising us plenty of frosty and freezing moments next week.
As we head into the next week, it’s looking dry but chilly. Monday will be all sunshine, and the rest of the week might throw in a few clouds. No rain is on the horizon until, well, maybe the weekend. Stay tuned!
