Storms, Fog, and Temperature Swings: How to Handle This Week in Dale County!

If you thought Alabama weather was predictable, think again! Dale County is in for a week of dramatic weather shifts, with foggy mornings, sunny afternoons, and the threat of strong storms looming by the weekend. Whether you’re planning outdoor activities or just trying to stay comfortable, this wild weather ride will keep you on your toes.

A Foggy Start to the Week, but Sunshine Returns

The week kicks off with foggy conditions on Monday morning, making travel a bit tricky for early commuters. As the fog lifts, partly sunny skies will take over, pushing the temperature up to a pleasant 80°F (27°C). The night will be cooler, dropping to 50°F (10°C), so you might want a light jacket if you’re heading out late. Tuesday looks like a picture-perfect spring day, with plenty of sunshine and just a few high clouds. The high will again reach 80°F (27°C), and the nighttime low will be 52°F (11°C).

Midweek Brings More Clouds and Rising Humidity

By Wednesday, clouds begin to roll in, signaling a shift in the weather pattern. While temperatures will still hover around 80°F (26°C), the overnight low will rise to 59°F (15°C), bringing more humidity into the air. Thursday will feel even more overcast, with a high of 76°F (24°C) and a mild low of 63°F (17°C). If you’re sensitive to humidity and pressure changes, you might start feeling the effects by now.

Storms Brewing for the Weekend – Stay Alert!

Friday offers a brief break in the gloom with partly sunny skies and a high of 80°F (26°C). However, this calm before the storm won’t last long. By Saturday morning, thunderstorms could arrive, and some storms may turn severe with strong wind gusts. If you have weekend plans, be prepared for sudden weather changes and possible dangerous conditions. The high will be 80°F (27°C), but temperatures will dip to 57°F (14°C) overnight. Sunday isn’t looking much better—morning showers will stick around before the sky turns mostly cloudy for the rest of the day. The high will be 79°F (26°C), with a low near 59°F (15°C).

How to Stay Safe During This Week’s Weather Swings

• Foggy mornings? Drive carefully! Visibility will be reduced, so leave extra time for your commute.
