A Quick Look At Your Wednesday Evening Across Central Alabama

| February 15, 2017 @ 8:24 pm

Skies are absolutely beautiful across the area at 8:30, and those same clear skies are allowing radiational cooling to take full effect. My family and I had no issue at all spotting the International Space Station as it floated across the sky right before 7PM tonight. We were able to track it from the second it appeared in the northwestern skies till it disappeared to the southeast. A trek that lasted just over 4 minutes.

Temperatures across the area at 8:09 PM are ranging in the lower 40s in the northern parts of Central Alabama, to the mid 50s in the south. These temperatures will continue to fall into the lower to mid 30s across the area, with a few of the colder spots hitting the 20s.

On Thursday, after starting off the morning at or near the freezing mark, temperatures will make a nice recovery underneath sunny skies. Afternoon highs will top out in the lower to mid 60s across Central Alabama, about 5 degrees above normal for this time of the year. A beautiful, star-lit sky will be seen tomorrow night without a single cloud in sight. Overnight lows will be in the 30s across the area.
