Record high temperatures possible this weekend

MOBILE, Alas. (VALA) – Welcome to the weekend! Record temperatures are possible again today and tomorrow, with temperatures dropping slightly next week. The trough and associated front will approach our area Sunday night and Monday. This front will not be strong enough to bring cooler air. However, this will only reduce our temperature by a few degrees. Next week, highs will fall from the upper 80s to the mid to lower 80s.

Looking forward to the Halloween forecast, daytime temperatures look to remain in the 80s. The evening should still be pleasant, but a shift in wind direction from the south will bring a little more humid air to our area.

WEEKEND:

We’re expecting another day of near-record temperatures on Saturday.

The afternoon will be sunny and warm with temperatures near 90° across much of our area. Temperatures on the beaches will be in the 80s. Today the risk of a reverse current is small. On Sunday the forecast will remain the same with another hot day expected.

Overnight temperatures on both Saturday and Sunday night will drop into the low 50s inland and into the low 60s just off the coast.

NEXT WEEK:

Despite a slight drop in temperatures early Monday, we expect temperatures to remain above average. This front will cause temperatures to drop several degrees next week. Highs will be in the 80s. Morning lows will remain very mild, around 60°. Later in the week, more moisture enters the image, causing it to appear less crisp and cool each morning. Around the middle of next week we will also see a change in wind direction and an increased risk of rip currents.

For Halloween, we’re looking at a warm day with temperatures in the low 80s. During the evening hours, you can expect mild and slightly humid weather with temperatures likely in the 70s to 60s.

TROPICS:

For now, the Atlantic Basin is quiet and no development is expected in the near future. However, towards the end of the month we will begin to monitor developments in the Caribbean. It’s too early to discuss details. We’ll let you know if there’s anything to watch.
