Clouds In The East But Mainly Really Nice Out There At Midday

CONDITIONS RIGHT BEFORE 1:00 PM

So far as we approach the 1:00 PM hour in Central Alabama, a good bit of the central and western parts of the area are experiencing maximum sunshine, while the eastern parts have partly to mostly cloudy skies. No organized showers showing up on radar at this point over the east and southeastern Central Alabama, but a few are possible throughout the remainder of the day.

TEMPERATURES AT 12:55 PM

We have a nice spread of temperatures out there across the area at this time, with upper 50s to the mid-60s showing up on our readings. Birmingham was at 63º, while a few spots are tied at 65º for the warm spot. At this point, Haleyville is the only location still in the 50s, at 59º.

YOUR WEATHER FOR THE REMAINDER OF TODAY

For much of Central Alabama throughout the remainder of the daylight hours and into the early evening, we will continue to have mostly sunny and dry conditions. The extreme east and southeastern parts of the area will experience partly to mostly cloudy conditions with a very small chance of a showers. Those rain chances will drop steadily after 4PM and should be entirely diminished by bedtime tonight. Today’s highs will top out in the lower to mid-60s from north to south. Skies will be mostly clear tonight and through the overnight hours for most, with a few more clouds hanging around for a little while longer in the southeast. Lows will dip down into the upper 30s to the upper 40s, with the warmer temperatures occurring where there is more clouds to trap in the radiational heating from the daylight hours.

CALM AND COOL WEATHER FROM WEDNESDAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND
It is an unusual weather pattern that has set up for Central Alabama for this time of the year, as we are accustomed to seeing a system with storms pass through here every few days or so. Looks like we’ll have mostly sunny and pleasant days with fair and chilly nights starting on Wednesday and lasting all of the way through the weekend. Afternoon highs will generally be in the upper 60s to the lower 60s, with lows ranging in the 30s to the lower 40s.
