Summary: Thursday night into Friday morning will see a surface low-pressure system move a cold front through the Eastern US. This front will reach the region between Friday evening and the overnight hours, initiating thunderstorms, and then stalls South of the Montgomery area. Weak upper-level divergence will help to destabilize the atmosphere from Thursday to Sunday. The stalled front will act as a lifting mechanism for storms & showers in the ArLaTex region. These storms & showers will be advected into the region throughout the day on Saturday, most likely reaching the area by the evening hours. Most showers that form in Alabama on Saturday will be confined to the Southern part of the state. On Sunday, a weak upper-level trough will lead to the development of a weak surface low-pressure system along the Texas Gulf Coast. The weak lifting from the low pressure as well as the divergence aloft associated with the approaching upper-level trough will lead to broad stratiform precipitation, with some pockets of convection. Precipitable water values around 1.5 inches, as well as the width of the region of precipitation, could lead to rain fall amounts nearing an inch on Sunday. The precipitation should end in the late afternoon on Sunday. On Monday, surface high pressure will dominate after the low-pressure system moves Eastward, leading to clear skies.
