Weather Xtreme: Showers Today, Heavier Rainfall Possible Late Sunday Into Early Monday Morning

THE CENTRAL ALABAMA WEEKEND
Showers moved into the west and northwestern parts of the area before midnight last night and have moved across portions of Central Alabama so far this morning. Showers will continue to move west to east across the area for the rest of your Saturday with locations west of I-59 becoming dry by the evening hours. A chance of showers will linger across the east and southeastern parts of the area during the late-night and overnight hours. Highs will be in the lower 60s to the lower 70s across the area.

The remainder of the lingering shower activity should be out of the area before sunrise on Sunday, but another system will move in and bring rain and a few rumbles of thunder back into the mix for Sunday evening through the late night and overnight hours. Some rainfall could be heavy at times, but not enough to cause any flooding issues. Afternoon highs will be in the lower 60s to the lower 70s.

THE WORK WEEK AHEAD
Showers will move through and out of the Central Alabama before sunrise on Monday morning. Clouds will thin out in coverage somewhat, but we’ll be partly cloudy by sunset. Highs will be in the upper 40s to the upper 50s.

We’ll have a good bit of sunshine to start your Tuesday, but clouds will begin to build back in late. Rain and some thunder will be possible across Central Alabama during the evening and overnight hours. Highs will be in the lower 50s to the lower 60s.

Wednesday will be a cooler day with some shower activity lingering through the morning hours. Clouds will begin to slowly dissipate through the afternoon and evening hours. Highs will be in the mid-40s to the mid-50s.

Thursday will feature plenty of sunshine while temperatures remain slightly below normal. Highs will be in the upper 40s to the mid-50s.

Friday will be a tad warmer as we’ll continue to have plenty of sunshine through much of the day. A few clouds may move in late, but no threat of rain at this point. Highs will be throughout the 50s across the area.
