Alabama's forecast looks hot and humid ahead of a late week cool front

ALL RIGHT. SWITCHING NOW TO THE WEATHER, A NICE WRAP TO THE LABOR DAY WEEKEND. I KNOW IT’S GOING TO GET A LITTLE BIT HOTTER IN THE COMING DAYS. YEAH, WE SEE THE TEMPERATURE GOING UP A LITTLE BIT AND THEN IT STARTS TO COME BACK DOWN SOME TOWARD THE WEEKEND. YOU ASKED ME EARLIER HOW COOL ARE WE TALKING HERE? IS IT IS IT BOOT WEATHER YET? NO, NOT AT ALL. AND MAYBE FOR YOU, IAN, BUT NOT FOR SHERRY. THIS IS WHAT WE LOOK LIKE RIGHT NOW. IT IS 88 IN TUSCALOOSA HERE THIS AFTERNOON. IT’S BEEN A HOT ONE, BUT IT’S NOT AS HOT AS IT WAS JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO. AND THERE’S ALMOST A FALL. LOOK TO THE SKY. THESE KIND OF CLOUDS ARE VERY COMMON. IN SEPTEMBER, YOU GET THOSE FLAT PANCAKE LIKE CUMULUS CLOUDS. THIS TIME OF THE DAY, AFTER SEEING THEM BUILDING UP SO MUCH TALLER IN THE AFTERNOON, WE’RE LOSING SOME OF THAT INSTABILITY BECAUSE THE DAYTIME HEAT IS CALMING DOWN A LITTLE BIT. IT’S IN THE 80S IN TUSCALOOSA COUNTY, BIBB COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL. WE HAD A SHOWER WEST OF THERE EARLIER, NOT QUITE THERE IN CENTREVILLE, THOUGH, 84. IT’S 84 IN VESTAVIA, 85. IN HELENA, 89. IN MONTEVALLO GOT 89 AT THE BIRMINGHAM AIRPORT. PELL CITY IS DOWN TO 82, WHILE GADSDEN IS STILL AT 88. THERE WAS A LITTLE RAIN CLOSE BY TO JASPER EARLIER, BUT NOW THAT’S GONE. WVTM 13. LIVE DOPPLER RADAR NOT PICKING UP ON ANY SIGNIFICANT RAIN AROUND HERE, BUT LOOK AT THAT SOUTH WIND AND HIGH ABOVE OUR HEADS, ABOUT 15,000FT UP COMING OFF THE GULF OF MEXICO. THAT’S STILL TRANSPORTING THE HUMIDITY NORTHWARD. SO AS THIS DISTURBANCE THAT IS WEST OF US THIS EVENING, SEE THAT CURL IN THE WIND OVER NORTHWEST ARKANSAS THAT’S GOING TO HELP TO ENERGIZE A FEW SHOWERS, POTENTIALLY A THUNDERSTORM DURING THE DAY TOMORROW. BUT THE QUESTION BECOMES WHO GETS THAT RAIN? BECAUSE IT’S NOT GOING TO BE ALL OF US. THIS IS CERTAINLY NOT A GUARANTEE OF RAIN, BUT SOME ISOLATED DOWNPOURS ARE POSSIBLE AND HUMID TONIGHT INTO TOMORROW MORNING, TOMORROW AFTERNOON, SPOTTY SHOWERS AND STORMS AWAY FROM THE STORMS. IT’S IN THE LOW 90S, BUT WHERE WE ARE GETTING A LITTLE BIT OF RAIN. I THINK YOU’RE GOING TO STAY IN THE UPPER 80S BECAUSE THE SKY IS A BIT GRAYER AND THAT REDUCES THE AMOUNT OF OVERALL HEATING THAT WE CAN GET. MOSTLY CLOUDY SKY EARLY IN THE MORNING. A LOT OF THIS MAY JUST BE A LITTLE BIT OF SPRINKLE ACTION TRANSITIONING UP THROUGH CULLMAN COUNTY AND BLOUNT COUNTY. A BRIEF SHOWER AROUND SAY 9 OR 10 A.M. IN CULLMAN OR HAYDEN OR INTO JEFFERSON COUNTY, SHELBY COUNTY, CHILTON COUNTY. THEN THOSE CLOUDS DEPART. TEMPERATURES BOUNCE UP TOWARD THE 90S AND THEN A FEW SHOWERS ARE STILL POSSIBLE 2 TO 3:00 AROUND ANNISTON AND GADSDEN, CENTRE AND GAYLESVILLE. AND THEN UP TOWARD SAND AND LOOKOUT MOUNTAINS THROUGH DEKALB AND MARSHALL AND INTO JACKSON COUNTY TO THEN IN THE AFTERNOON, MAYBE A BRIEF SHOWER BY 8:00 TOMORROW EVENING. MOST OF THAT ACTION HAS CALMED DOWN. LOOK AT THIS. OUT IN THE ATLANTIC, THAT IS ALREADY READY, A VERY WELL SHAPED TROPICAL DISTURBANCE. NOW THERE’S SOME GOOD NEWS AND SOME BAD NEWS WITH THIS. THE BAD NEWS IS IT LOOKS LIKE THIS THING COULD BECOME A MAJOR, MAJOR HURRICANE IN THE ATLANTIC WITHIN THE NEXT 5 TO 7 DAYS. THE GOOD NEWS IS IT’S VERY UNLIKELY AT THIS POINT THAT IT WOULD POSE A DIRECT THREAT TO THE CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES. THERE’S A GOOD CHANCE IT MAY CURVE TOWARD THE NORTH. IT’S SOMETHING THAT WE’LL WATCH CLOSELY. BUT LOOK AT HOW QUICKLY THIS THING RAMPS UP. SEE, IT GOES FROM JUST THIS WAVE TODAY TO MAYBE A MAJOR HURRICANE NORTH OF PUERTO RICO AND NORTHWEST OF THE BAHAMAS BY NEXT TUESDAY. AND THE PATTERN OVER NORTH AMERICA, THOUGH, PRO PROBABLY GOING TO KICK IT OUT TO SEA, BUT IT’S SO FAR OUT IN THE DISTANCE, IT WILL HAVE TO WATCH IT FOR THE EAST COAST SOMETIME NEXT WEEK JUST TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE. NEVER WANT TO CALL THESE THINGS OUT UNTIL THEY’RE COMPLETELY OUT OF THE PICTURE. SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE. TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, HUMIDITY DROPS BEHIND A COOL FRONT WEEKEND. LOOKS GOOD, BUT THE DAYS STI
