Rain Birmingham Forecast Brings 2.00 Inches by Saturday Morning — Weather Birmingham
Weather Birmingham calls for rain to increase Friday afternoon, continue through Friday night, and taper off early Saturday morning. The heaviest coverage is expected Friday afternoon and night, with totals ranging from around 0.25 inch in the far north to near 2.00 inches in the far south.
That leaves Birmingham under a wet stretch that begins with a few breaks Friday morning and ends with drier, cooler air Saturday. The rain should ease by 8 to 9 a.m. Saturday, and no major storms or severe weather are expected Friday night into Saturday morning.
Birmingham Friday afternoon
Rain coverage is expected to increase from southwest to northeast Friday afternoon. A larger shield of rain will move across the state, and periods of rain should continue through Friday night.
For readers planning around the day, the timing is the main change: Friday morning may still offer brief breaks, but the steadier rain window opens later and lasts into the night. That pattern also means the wettest period is not limited to one short burst.
Southern rainfall overnight
Overnight, another chance for showers remains, with most of the rain over southern areas. Rain amounts should generally stay light, with up to 0.25 inch possible south.
Overnight lows are expected in the upper 40s and mostly low 50s, with a north wind around 5 mph. No severe weather is expected overnight, which keeps the focus on rain timing rather than stronger weather hazards.
Saturday morning in Birmingham
Rain is expected to taper off early Saturday by 8 to 9 a.m., with temperatures falling into the low 50s and upper 40s. Skies will gradually clear through Saturday, and highs are expected in the upper 60s.
After the rain ends, drier and cooler air returns. Sunday morning looks chilly with lows in the 40s and a few upper 30s possible far north and east, but no frost is expected at this time.
Sunday afternoon should turn sunny with highs near 71 degrees, and cool mornings in the 40s and highs in the 70s are expected early next week. Rain chances return by the middle of next week as the next cold front approaches, with more shower chances possible toward the end of next week.
