It looks like Alabama's losing streak will last at least another week.

The National Weather Service says it forecasts little to no rain at least through the end of the work week, and the seven-day forecast from NOAA's Weather Prediction Center extends the dry streak even longer:

This green patch over central Alabama could happen next Sunday if the forecast comes true. However, this area could be less than a tenth of an inch even if it actually materialized.

A high pressure system is expected to dominate the weather in Alabama this week. This could make for very pleasant but dry conditions.

Temperatures are expected to warm somewhat throughout the week, and the weather service said high temperatures could be several degrees below record highs in some cases.
