A Look At Central Alabama’s Weather At 8:20PM, & Get Ready For An Awesome Sunday

| February 18, 2017 @ 8:24 pm

After a day that started off cloudy with scattered light showers across the area, things are starting to look better for the remainder of the evening and the overnight hours. There may be some scattered sprinkles or light showers moving through the eastern parts of the area for the next hour or so, but fog is possible across Central Alabama for the overnight hours after midnight. Overnight lows will fall to the mid 40s to the lower 50s.

Skies will start off partly cloudy for the morning time on Sunday, but those clouds will give way to sunshine during the afternoon hours. Afternoon highs will top out in the lower to mid 70s throughout the area. Skies for tomorrow night and into the early morning hours on Monday, skies will be mostly clear, and overnight lows will be in the mid 40s to the lower 50s.

Looks like after a wonderful day on Monday, rain chances will be coming back into the forecast for the late night hours on Monday night through the daytime hours on Wednesday. Nothing too heavy, with rain totals averaging around 1/10 of an inch, with some spots not receiving any rain at all (according to the latest GFS model run).

Thursday will be dry (awesome since it’s my 40th birthday), but we’ll be introducing a chance of showers and thunderstorms for Thursday night through Saturday for now. It’s still too far out on exact details, but it looks like that severe storms are unlikely at this point. We’ll keep you updated on that throughout the week.

These are the modeled rainfall totals for the next 16 days, according to the latest GFS model run. Up to 2 to 3 inches are expected over this time period, especially for the northern 2/3rds of Central Alabama, with totals of 2 inches or less to the south. Only marginal help to our drought situation.
