A gradual warming trend is expected through the rest of the work week, with highs returning to above-average by Friday, in the low 70s.

A more unsettled pattern will return as we move towards the end of the weekend into the start of next week with the climate prediction center outlining most of Alabama in a slight risk for heavy rain.
