Birmingham, AL – Central Alabama is set to enjoy a stretch of pleasant, sunny weather through the week before a cold front brings rain and cooler temperatures by Sunday, according to the National Weather Service (NWS) in Birmingham.
Mild and Sunny Through Saturday
Forecasters expect temperatures to reach the low to mid-70s beginning Tuesday and continuing through Saturday, creating one of the warmest early-November periods so far this season.
Monday will remain slightly cooler, with highs in the low to mid-60s across Birmingham, Tuscaloosa, and Montgomery. The NWS said the region will experience mostly sunny skies and light winds, providing near-perfect conditions for outdoor activities and fall events.
“We’re expecting dry, stable air through much of the week,” NWS meteorologists said. “High pressure will dominate the Southeast, keeping skies mostly clear.”
Rain Chances Rising Over the Weekend
A cold front is forecast to approach Central Alabama by Saturday night, increasing the likelihood of showers and isolated thunderstorms. Rain is expected to develop late Saturday into Sunday morning, with scattered showers likely across much of the region.
Highs on Sunday will fall into the upper 60s, signaling the start of a cooler pattern. Behind the front, temperatures will drop sharply, with Monday’s highs only in the 50s and overnight lows dipping into the upper 30s to low 40s in some northern counties.
“A noticeable cooldown is expected early next week,” the NWS added, “as cooler and drier air settles in behind the front.”

Advice for Residents and Outdoor Plans
Meteorologists recommend residents take advantage of the warm, dry stretch to handle yardwork, home maintenance, or fall travel before wet conditions arrive. Outdoor events scheduled for midweek through Saturday afternoon should have ideal weather, but those with Sunday plans should monitor forecasts for updates.
Drivers are also urged to use caution during Sunday morning commutes if rain develops earlier than expected.
“The good news is that this is typical fall weather for Alabama,” one local forecaster noted. “We’ll see warmth and sunshine now, then a cold front brings that real November feel.”
