Highs this afternoon will be in the lower to middle 60s across North and North Central Alabama in places like Albertville, Double Springs, and Scottsboro. Middle to upper 60s will be prevalent across much of the rest of Central Alabama, with readings near 70F from Montgomery to the south.

A shield of rain will reach Northwest Alabama by 4 p.m. It will reach the I-59 Corridor by 10 p.m. Expect about 3-4 hours of rain, with some heavy rain at the outset. Rainfall amounts will average between one quarter and one-half inch with a few heavier amounts mainly over Northwest Alabama.

There could be some isolated pockets of thunder, but no severe weather with the rain.

Dewpoints will fall behind the front, which will reach Montgomery around 9 a.m. By morning, temperatures will be in the 40s over Northwest Alabama, to near 50F along I-20.
