Birmingham woke Saturday to clear skies and temperatures in the low 50s, with a bright and mild afternoon ahead. The city should reach about 74 degrees, making for easy outdoor plans—provided those plans do not involve accidentally starting a brush fire.
Sunny Saturday, Cool Saturday Night
Skies will remain sunny through Saturday, with east winds around 5 to 10 mph. According to the National Weather Service in Birmingham, temperatures will fall to around 49 degrees Saturday night under clear skies.
Dry Air Keeps Fire Caution In View
Rain chances remain at zero through nearly the entire week ahead, while afternoon humidity is expected to drop into the 20% to 35% range. Dry vegetation and slightly stronger weekend winds are keeping fire-weather concerns at a moderate level, so residents should use extra care with outdoor burning, grills and anything that could create a spark.
Warm Afternoons Continue Through Friday
Sunday will bring another sunny day with a high near 74 and a low around 48 Sunday night. Monday through Thursday should bring fair weather, generally warm afternoons and cool mornings.
Friday looks to be the warmest day in the forecast, reaching about 78 degrees under sunny skies. Patchy river fog may form overnight or early in the morning near low-lying areas, but no watches, warnings or advisories are in effect for Birmingham.
