Early Friday, October 23, is clear and cool across Birmingham, with temperatures around 46 to 48 degrees before sunrise. Skies will stay sunny as the city warms quickly, reaching near 77 degrees this afternoon. Rain is not part of the plan, giving outdoor errands and lunch breaks a welcome late-October green light.
Sunny Friday, Cooler Weekend
According to the National Weather Service in Birmingham, Friday night will remain mostly clear with a low near 49 degrees. Saturday and Sunday will stay sunny, but highs will ease back to about 73 degrees, with overnight lows in the upper 40s. Weekend winds will generally be 5 to 8 knots.
Dry Air Brings Moderate Fire Weather Concern
Dry conditions are expected to continue through next week, with afternoon humidity falling into the 20% to 35% range and winds picking up slightly over the weekend. That combination is keeping fire weather concerns at a moderate level as vegetation and other fuels dry out. No watches, warnings, or advisories are in effect for Birmingham.
Clear Mornings, Mild Afternoons Through Thursday
Monday through Thursday will bring more of the same: fair conditions, with daily highs in the mid- to upper 70s and overnight lows in the 40s. Rain chances remain near zero through Thursday, October 29. Patchy river fog may develop overnight and during the early morning hours, which could briefly reduce visibility near low-lying areas.
Friday's high will reach 77 degrees under clear skies. By Friday night, the thermometer will slide back into the upper 40s, making a light jacket useful for both ends of the day.
