Dry Continental Air Sweeping Across Alabama Including Birmingham Huntsville and Montgomery With 50s Arriving Overnight and No Rain Through Friday
ALABAMA — Dry continental air is rolling into Alabama Wednesday morning, bringing a dramatic shift away from the oppressive humidity that has dominated the state in recent days. Other than a few isolated showers possible later today across Mobile and Baldwin counties, no rain is expected statewide through Friday.
Most communities across Alabama will drop into the 50s by early Thursday morning as the drier and cooler air mass settles firmly in place. The dewpoint map from Alabama Weather Network captured at 8:28 AM Wednesday shows the sharp contrast already in progress across the state.
Northern Alabama Already Feeling the Drier Air With Dewpoints in the Low to Mid 50s
Northern Alabama communities including Huntsville, Florence, Birmingham, Cullman, Gadsden, and Anniston are already reporting dewpoints in the low to mid 50s as of Wednesday morning, a significant drop from recent days. These readings represent genuinely comfortable air with low humidity that is rare for early June across the Deep South.
The dry air boundary is clearly visible on the dewpoint map, with a sharp contrast between the refreshing 50s across the north and the still-muggy 60s and low 70s hugging the southern coast near Mobile and Atmore.
Southern Alabama Holding Onto Gulf Moisture With Dewpoints in the 60s and 70s
South Alabama communities including Mobile, Atmore, Chatom, Thomasville, and Dothan remain embedded in Gulf moisture with dewpoints ranging from the mid 60s to near 72 degrees near the coast. This lingering moisture is what is supporting the isolated shower chance across Mobile and Baldwin counties later today.
As the continental air continues pushing southward through the day, even portions of south Alabama should begin to feel some drying. The precipitation map shows the heaviest Gulf moisture concentrated well offshore and along the immediate coast.
Dry and Comfortable Pattern Holds Statewide Through Friday With No Rain Expected
Once the isolated coastal shower threat passes Wednesday, the entire state of Alabama moves into a rain-free stretch through Friday. Overnight lows dropping into the 50s will make for exceptional sleeping weather and pleasant morning conditions across central and northern Alabama.
