A Pretty Nice Midday Across Central Alabama… Gotta Love It!

Sunny skies and cooler conditions exist across Central Alabama at midday, a day after much warmer temperatures and strong to severe thunderstorms occurred across the area. Skies are sunny across not only much of the state, but for much of the southeast. The cold front that brought the thunderstorms to the state yesterday is currently draped just off the Atlantic Coast, across the Florida Peninsula, and back over the waters of the northern Gulf of Mexico. The only rain activity in the southeast is located along and just ahead of the cold front in Florida.

For the rest of the day, the sun will be out in full force, and afternoon highs will make it into the upper 50s to the mid 60s across Central Alabama from north to south. The high for Birmingham should top out at 61ºF. Clear skies and pretty chilly temperatures for the evening and overnight hours tonight, with lows dipping into the mid to upper 30s. A few colder spots could drop below freezing, or even into the upper 20s.
