Improving Weather For Alabama Today
RADAR CHECK: Rain continues early this morning across parts of East and Southeast Alabama… that rain will be over by mid-morning. The sky should begin to clear this afternoon as drier air works into the state; temperatures will hold in the 60s all day. Tonight will be mostly fair and very cool with a low around 40 degrees.
TOMORROW THROUGH THE WEEKEND: Alabama gets a good chance to dry out. Look for a partly sunny sky tomorrow and Friday with highs in the mid 60s. The weekend will feature sunny pleasant days and clear chilly nights. The high Saturday and Sunday will be in the 62-66 degree range, and we project a low in the 30s early Sunday morning for most places across North/Central Alabama. Scattered frost is likely, and colder pockets could see a late season freeze… growers beware.
NEXT WEEK: We rise into the 70s Monday with a good supply of sunshine. Dry weather will likely continue Tuesday and Wednesday with highs around 80 degrees, followed by a round of rain and thunderstorms Thursday. There are some signals from global models that this system could bring another chance of strong to severe storms, but it is way too early to be specific. See the Weather Xtreme video for maps, graphics, and more details.
