Showers are expected to move across Birmingham Sunday and linger through much of the day. The city gets a brief warm-up Monday and Tuesday before a stronger round of showers and thunderstorms moves into Central Alabama Wednesday.

Rain Keeps Sunday Damp

Rain showers are likely through Sunday afternoon, with a high near 66 and a 70% chance of precipitation, according to the National Weather Service in Birmingham. East winds around 15 mph could gust near 20 mph.

Sunday night stays cloudy with a 40% chance of additional showers and a low around 55. No watches, warnings or advisories are posted for the Birmingham area, but wet roads and gusty winds could make the evening commute slower than usual.

Monday And Tuesday Offer A Short Break

A slight chance of showers lingers before noon Monday, then temperatures climb to around 75 degrees. Tuesday looks warmer, with a high near 75 and only a small rain chance.

That brief break comes before the more unsettled midweek pattern outlined in Hoodline's earlier forecast, which had lower rain chances for Wednesday.

Storm Chances Peak Wednesday

Rain chances rise midweek, with showers and thunderstorms possible. Wednesday brings increased rain chances, with showers and thunderstorms possible, mostly cloudy skies and a high near 74.

Thursday turns quieter, though a slight chance of showers remains after noon. Partly sunny skies and a high near 74 are expected Thursday, while Friday should be rain-free as a front moves through.

Overnight temperatures return to the 40s next weekend.

Overnight temperatures fall into the upper 40s late in the week, with lows near 49 Friday night and 48 Saturday night. For Sunday plans, keep an umbrella nearby, secure loose outdoor items before the wind picks up and use extra caution on slick roads.
