Midday Nowcast: Sunny and Bright Wednesday

A completely different weather day across the state today compared to yesterday as a drier air mass is returning to the state. We are seeing tons of sunshine from one end of the state to other, with the exception of some clouds across far South Alabama and the Gulf Coast, but even there, the sky will become sunny this afternoon. It is a warmer day as well with temperatures surging into the lower and mid 60s by the end of the day. Tonight will be a clear and cold one with lows falling back into the 30s.

TOMORROW/FRIDAY: Tomorrow will be a sunny day with highs ranging from the mid 60 to mid 70s across the state. The weather stays dry during the day Friday, but clouds will increase afternoon ahead of a disturbance that could squeeze out some light rain across portions of Alabama Friday night. Highs Friday will be in the mid and upper 60s.
