Midday Nowcast: Lingering Clouds and Cooler
As we roll into the afternoon hours, the sky should begin to clear as drier air works into the state and temperatures will hold in the 60s all day. Tonight will be mostly fair and very cool with a low around 40 degrees.
TOMORROW/FRIDAY: The drier air will settle into Alabama, giving us all a chance to dry out. Expect a mix of sun and clouds both days, with afternoon highs in the low to mid 60s.
WONDERFUL WEEKEND WEATHER: Both Saturday and Sunday will feature sunny pleasant days and clear chilly nights. The highs Saturday and Sunday will be in the lower to mid 60s, while lows should be 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. It looks this system could bring another chance of strong to severe storms back to Alabama, but it is way too early to be specific. Of course, it is nothing unusual for Alabama this time of year.
