Tuesday Midday Nowcast for North/Central Alabama

Cooler and drier air is moving into the northwestern parts of the state, and is making its way into Central Alabama. Temperatures at this hour are already cooler compared to the last few days. Cloud cover is starting to break up for North/Central Alabama, and most of the clouds are lined up with the cold front that is currently pushing through the state.

A few scattered showers are showing up on radar ahead of the cold front. One large shower is currently moving into Georgia from Randolph and Chambers Counties. A few smaller scattered showers are showing up in Lee, Macon, Bullock, and Montgomery Counties.

TEMPERATURES: A difference in temperatures can be felt in the air across Alabama today, as a cold front is currently draped across the southeastern parts of the state.

TODAY & TONIGHT: Expect a mix of sun and clouds for the remainder of the day for North/Central Alabama.
