MONTGOMERY, Ala. (WSFA) – The weekend is here! Fall weather is not…after a gray and gloomy start to our Saturday morning, we will continue to be mostly cloudy and warmer than normal over the next few days. Temperatures will warm to the 77-83 degree range each afternoon today through Wednesday next week; a few spots might get a quick shower over the next couple of days, but that’s the exception rather than the rule.

We know need wetter weather, it will be hard to come both days this weekend.

Tracking the Tropics: As of Saturday morning, Rafael is now a tropical storm and likely will not return to hurricane strength. The weakening process will continue as what’s left of Rafael circles and then slides southwest across the Gulf of Mexico over the next few days, all before turning into Mexico early next work week.

There is no threat for Alabama, and the latest track forecast makes it unlikely that we will see any additional rain from this situation. But don’t despair: we actually have a better chance of rain soon…

Long-range forecast data shows a cold front is expected to push into the area next week. This could, in turn, bring much colder air to the region.

Definitely something we’ll be keeping a close eye on as we go through the weekend and next week!
