Midday Nowcast: Splendid Spring Weather
Just a few passing clouds in the sky today and tomorrow as drier air settles into Alabama. For the rest of today and tomorrow, expect more sun than clouds, with afternoon highs ranging from the low to upper 60s. Tonight, will feature passing clouds with lows in the upper 30s to lower 40s.
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. This looks to be a pretty dynamic system, so severe storms are likely to return to Alabama, but it is way too early to be specific about magnitude, impacts, and timing. Of course, it is nothing unusual for Alabama this time of year.
