Birmingham is waking to a clear, calm 61-degree morning Tuesday, but the city is headed for another summer-like afternoon with sunshine and a high near 89. The heat sticks around through Thursday before a sharp, dry cooldown arrives just in time for the weekend.
Another Near-Record Day Is Ahead
Tuesday will stay sunny with light west winds and no rain in sight, while Wednesday could be even warmer with a high near 90. The National Weather Service in Birmingham says temperatures will remain well above normal this week, with a meaningful chance of record highs.
Clear skies will continue Tuesday night, with temperatures settling near 62. A few patchy fog pockets could develop overnight near bodies of water, but the broader forecast remains dry and quiet.
Cooler Air Arrives For The Weekend
Thursday will bring one more sunny day near 89 before a dry cold front moves through Friday night into Saturday. Friday should still reach about 85, but winds will become noticeably stronger as cooler air pushes in.
Saturday will feel like a different season, with sunshine, northeast winds around 15 mph and a high near 70. Saturday night could dip to 48, followed by a sunny Sunday near 72 and a mostly sunny Monday near 77.
Plan For Heat First, Layers Later
Outdoor plans through Thursday should account for strong afternoon warmth, even as mornings begin in the low 60s. The forecast shows no watches or warnings, but Birmingham residents may want water and sunscreen now, then a jacket by Saturday morning.
