More Showers Already Starting To Move Back In At Midday

CONDITIONS ACROSS CENTRAL ALABAMA AT 12:00 PM
While most of us are seeing a decent break in the rain activity across Central Alabama, the unfortunate news is that more showers are starting to move into the southwestern sections of the area. Rain is falling over parts of the counties already under a Flash Flood Watch until 6:00 am Friday, which includes Greene, Hale, Marengo, Pickens, and Sumter counties. This activity is moving to the east-northeast and will soon be affecting such cities as Marion, Selma, Brent, Maplesville, and Fort Deposit. There is another small batch of light showers and drizzle moving over parts of Tallapoosa, Elmore, and Chambers counties. These will be out of the state shortly.

The rest of Central Alabama is dry at this point with cloudy skies. Temperatures are currently in the upper 40s to the mid-60s across the area from northwest to the southeast, with the warm spot being Troy at 64 degrees. The cool spot is in Haleyville at 48 degrees. Birmingham was at 54 degrees.

WEATHER FOR THE REST OF YOUR THURSDAY
More showers will continue to move in from the southwest during the afternoon hours for a while before more organized rain moves in later this evening and through the late night and overnight hours. Skies will remain cloudy when there is not any rain falling with afternoon highs topping out in the lower 50s to the upper 60s across the area from northwest to southeast. For tonight, those heavier showers and maybe a couple of rumbles of thunder will move in starting around the 10:00 pm time frame in the western parts of the area, to the I-65 corridor by midnight, and in the eastern parts by 2:00 am. Overnight lows will be in the upper 40s to the lower 60s.

WET AT TIMES ON FRIDAY
Much of the heavier rain activity will persist through the morning hours but should move out of the state by late morning just before midday. After that, a few scattered light showers and drizzle may linger around through the rest of the daylight and into the evening hours. We should finally be all dry before midnight and we’ll begin a good stretch of drier weather for several days. Afternoon highs will be in the lower 50s to the mid-60s with overnight lows in the mid-30s to the lower 40s. While there is a very small chance of showers late Monday and into early Tuesday, the latest model run is trending much drier than previous runs.
