Alabama Faces Dense Fog Advisory Sunday Morning Before Drier and Warmer Week Ahead With Highs Rising to 88 to 92 Degrees by May 16 to 17
ALABAMA — A dense fog advisory is in effect for all of Alabama Sunday morning, with the fog expected to dissipate by mid-morning. After the foggy start, most of Sunday will be dry with only a few small isolated showers possible this afternoon before a surface front brings a chance of widely scattered showers or storms tonight into Monday morning. The week ahead looks generally rain-free with a significant warmup arriving by the weekend of May 16 to 17.
Sunday: Fog, Then Mostly Dry With Isolated Showers
The dense fog advisory covers all of Alabama Sunday morning and will lift by mid-morning. Once the fog clears, conditions turn mostly dry through the afternoon with just a few small isolated showers possible.
An approaching surface front will bring the chance of a few showers or storms tonight into Monday morning, but models have trended drier, suggesting activity will remain widely scattered. While a strong storm cannot be ruled out, the severe weather risk is low and some locations across Alabama will see no rain at all from this system.
