Storms Continue to Move Out at Midday; Marginal Risk Continues for Locations South of I-85

MUCH OF CENTRAL ALABAMA BEGINS TO DRY OUT
The main line of storms have pushed down to the I-85 corridor in the southeastern parts of Central Alabama, but those are staying behaved at the moment. Clouds are starting to break up to the west and into the northwestern parts of the area and some sun may be seen before we get to sunset. A few sprinkles may move across the area later today, but much of the area will dry out.

A Marginal Risk for severe storms continues for the locations along and south of the I-85 corridor in the southeastern parts of Central Alabama for a couple of more hours, but the threat will come to an end by 2:00 pm.

There may be a few lingering showers over the southern and southeastern parts of the area this evening and tonight, but all precipitation should be out of here by midnight or a little earlier. Clouds will be decreasing and lows will dip down into the upper 30s to the mid-40s,

Monday will feature plenty of sunshine with highs reaching the mid-60s to the lower 70s across the area. Moisture will begin to work back into the area on Tuesday with showers possible by the afternoon and rain and some thunder becoming likely during the evening. Highs will be in the lower to mid-70s.

A cold front will bring thunderstorms to the area on Wednesday along with a low-end severe weather threat with the potential of damaging winds and large hail. Highs will be in the upper 50s to the lower 80s from northwest to southeast.

Thursday will be much cooler across the area with sunny skies and highs in the lower 50s to the lower 60s. Some frost or a light freeze may occur in portions of the area during the pre-dawn hours on Friday as lows will dip into the upper 20s to the upper 30s. Temperatures will make a decent recovery during the day on Friday with near-maximum sunshine and highs in the upper 50s to the lower 60s.
