Birmingham is waking to clear skies and cool air Tuesday, but sunshine will quickly push temperatures toward a mild 77 degrees. The city should stay dry and breezy only in the gentlest sense, with east winds between 0 and 5 mph and no rain expected.
Sunshine Holds Through Friday
Tuesday night will see increasing clouds with a low near 50 degrees. Wednesday should reach 76 under partly sunny skies, while Thursday and Friday warm to around 79 degrees, according to the National Weather Service in Birmingham.
Halloween Weekend Turns Wetter
Saturday brings the first meaningful rain chance, with rain chances increasing Saturday afternoon and a high near 77 degrees. Saturday night looks wetter, with showers likely and a 60% chance of precipitation, while Sunday has a 50% chance of showers.
That is a notable adjustment from Hoodline’s earlier forecast, which had pushed Saturday’s rain later and kept the weekend a little warmer. For Halloween plans on Saturday, October 31, the afternoon may still be workable, but an umbrella could become the evening’s most useful accessory.
Dry Air Keeps Fire Caution In View
Despite the rain later in the week, dry fuels and limited moisture are keeping fire-weather concerns at a medium level through much of the week. Afternoon humidity is expected to fall into the 25% to 45% range through Wednesday, so residents should use care with grills, outdoor burning and discarded cigarettes; no watches, warnings or advisories are posted.
