Very Nice Today, Showers Become Possible on Christmas Eve Afternoon

It will be a very nice day with mild temperatures across Central Alabama. We’ll start off with some clouds during the morning, but skies will be mostly sunny after that. Highs will top out in the mid 60s to the lower 70s across the area. For those heading to the Birmingham Bowl, temperatures will be in the lower 60s at kickoff, and in the mid 60s by the final whistle.

Christmas Eve will be a transition day as we’ll have increasing clouds through the day, and a few showers will become possible from the southwest to the northeast by the afternoon for locations east of I-65 and south of I-22. Rain chances will continue to increase area wide during the evening and overnight hours, with the heavier precipitation over the southern half. Highs in the mid 60s to the lower 70s.

Unfortunately, Christmas Day will be wet at times with the best rain chances during the morning hours, and decreasing rain chances during the afternoon and evening. Otherwise, skies will be cloudy and highs in the lower 60s to the lower 70s.

Tuesday will be cooler and drier as the Christmas system heads away from us. A few light showers may be possible before daybreak, but skies will be partly sunny and highs in the mid 50s to the mid 60s.

We’ll continue the streak of cooler temperatures on Wednesday, as our winds will be out of the northwest. We’ll be dry with mostly sunny skies and highs in the lower 50s to the lower 60s.

We go colder once again on Thursday as more continental air from the northwest continues to be pulled into the area. We’ll be mostly sunny with highs in the upper 40s to the mid 50s.

And at the end of the forecast period on Friday, we remain cool and dry with mostly sunny skies and highs in the mid 40s to the mid 50s.
