At Midday, Sunny Skies Have Returned To Central Alabama

What a difference from yesterday to today across Central Alabama as we approach the noon hour. For most in the area, skies are sunny, but we do have some pesky clouds hanging tough over the eastern and southeastern parts. There are still a few showers over parts of Pike, Barbour, Bullock, and Russell counties. These are moving to the southwest at about 20 MPH.

TEMPERATURES THROUGHOUT CENTRAL ALABAMA AT 11:23AM
Temperatures are currently ranging in the lower 70s to the lower 80s throughout the area at this point. Montgomery is currently the warm spot at 82 degrees, with the cool spot being Cullman at 73 degrees.

FOR THE REST OF TODAY
Mostly sunny and war temperatures can be expected for much of Central Alabama throughout the rest of the daytime hours, with some clouds sticking around the east and southeastern parts of the area. There is a risk for some scattered showers and a storm or two for the southeast corner of Central Alabama, but the rest of the area will be dry. Afternoon highs will be in the lower to mid 80s. All of Central Alabama will be dry this evening and into the overnight hours, underneath mostly clear to clear skies. Lows will drop down into the upper 50s to the lower 60s.

THURSDAY’S WEATHER
We will have mostly sunny skies and slightly cooler temperatures across Central Alabama tomorrow, but there is a very small risk of a shower or two over the east and northeastern parts of the area. The odds of any one spot in that part of the area getting any rain is less than 1 in 5. Afternoon highs will be in the upper 70s to the mid 80s across the area.

A LOOK AT THE TROPICS
All remains quiet and no tropical storms are expected to form within the next 5 days in the Atlantic or Gulf of Mexico.
