Birmingham, Alabama – Labor Day weekend is shaping up to be milder than usual across Central Alabama, but scattered showers could disrupt outdoor plans, especially in northern counties through Tuesday.
According to the National Weather Service in Birmingham, highs will remain in the low to mid-80s for most areas, with a few locations like Demopolis and Tuscaloosa nearing 90°F by Sunday afternoon. Overnight lows are expected in the 60s, offering cooler relief after each day’s heat. Spotty showers and isolated thunderstorms are possible, particularly from Sunday through Tuesday, with the best chance in areas north and northeast of Birmingham, including Anniston and Gadsden.
Travelers heading toward beach destinations can expect favorable conditions, as the risk of rip currents remains low through the weekend. However, those staying inland should keep an umbrella nearby, as pop-up storms may develop during peak afternoon hours.
Roadways could become slick during brief downpours, especially along I-59 and I-20 corridors. Outdoor events and barbecues should keep weather apps handy and plan for some flexibility.
The chance of rain lingers into Tuesday, though widespread impacts are unlikely. Another round of updates is expected if storm coverage increases early in the week.
