Not a cloud in the sky across Central Alabama, and only a few high cirrus clouds are showing up at this midday hour over the Southeastern United States on the latest visible satellite image. With that being said, there is not a single shower showing up anywhere in the Southeast at this time either, just some ground clutter around a few of the radar sites.

BURN BAN AND FIRE ALERT:
A Drought Emergency continues in effect, banning any outdoor burning for the northern two-thirds of the state. A Fire Alert remains in effect for the whole state. Click here for more information.

NORMS AND RECS FOR TODAY IN BIRMINGHAM:
The normal high for October 25th is 72, while the normal low is 47. The record high for today was set back in 1927 at 88. The record low was set back in 1965 at 28.

REST OF TODAY:
Skies will remain clear and the sun will be out in full force for the remainder of the afternoon. Highs will be in the low to mid 80s across the area. A few clouds may float across the skies this evening through the overnight hours. Lows will be dropping into the 50s for most part, with 40s in the colder pockets.

WEDNESDAY’S FORECAST:
Expect a mix of sun and clouds as a weak surface front approaches the area, but conditions will remain dry throughout the day. Afternoon highs will be in the upper 70s to the low 80s. Skies will become mostly cloudy as the surface front starts to move across the area during the overnight hours. I will mention a very small risk for a shower or two in the extreme western part of the area before midnight. Overnight lows will be in the upper 50s to low 60s. Odds for any one spot getting rain in extreme western parts of Central Alabama are about one in five.

HEADED TO THE BEACH:
Sunny days, fair nights on the coast through the rest of the week and weekend. Highs around 80 and lows in the 60s. See a very detailed Gulf Coast forecast here.

TROPICAL UPDATE:
Tropical cyclone formation is not expected during the next 5 days across the Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean Sea, and the North Atlantic Ocean.

Severe thunderstorms erupted over northeastern Texas during the late evening producing softball size hail at Newcastle and Jonesboro. Low pressure over James Bay in Canada continued to produced showers and gale force winds in the Great Lakes Region.
