Dry, sunny and warm at the end of October

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (WSFA) – The streak of dry days without measurable rainfall at Montgomery Regional Airport has now lasted more than three weeks and counting. The mostly dry weather will continue for the foreseeable future as a persistent ridge of high pressure hovers over the Southeast, keeping us dry for a few more days.

Friday was almost a carbon copy of what we saw on Thursday, and Saturday will be no different. Sun and a few clouds during the day…highs in the upper 80s with a light breeze.

We saw new record high temperatures at Montgomery Regional Airport on Friday, so could we do that again today?

Another round of near-record-breaking heat is possible, but we would need to reach 90 degrees in Montgomery to match the record set on October 26.

Lows early Sunday morning will again dip into the 50s with calm winds and mostly clear skies.

It is expected to remain dry this weekend, even though a weak front will pass over the region tomorrow afternoon.

While the area won’t receive much-needed rain, as a few sprinkles are possible, temperatures will cool slightly by Sunday into early next week.

Early next week it will also remain cooler, back near seasonal averages. With highs Monday and Tuesday in the upper 70s to lower 80s under mostly sunny skies. During this period, overnight lows will remain in the 50s. Temperatures will slowly rise as we get closer to Halloween.

Following the Tropics: At this time, there are no systems we are monitoring for the next seven days. Although there is a computer model signal for the possibility of development in the Caribbean Sea by November 1. We’ll be watching until the Atlantic hurricane season ends on November 30.
