THE ALABAMA WEEKEND: Tomorrow will be another sunny and very warm day with a high in the upper 80s; a few spots could touch 90 degrees. On Sunday, moisture levels begin to rise, and a few scattered showers could form during the afternoon over the southern half of the state, but North Alabama will stay dry. Sunday’s high will be in the the upper 80s.

NEXT WEEK: The weather will be more typical of June, with warm, humid days and a daily risk of scattered, mostly afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms. Highs will be in the 80s.

TROPICS: The Atlantic basin remains quiet, but global models hint at some kind of development over the Southwest Gulf of Mexico in seven to 10 days. Just something to watch for now.

AIR QUALITY ALERT: The Jefferson County Department of Health and the Alabama Department of Environmental Management have issued a “code orange” air quality alert for the Birmingham metro today because of ground-level ozone.
