A Great Midday Across Central Alabama, But What’s That Up North?

As we approach the midday hour across Central Alabama, we have generally clear skies out there and temperatures are feeling really comfortable at this point. There is a little surprise as we look up towards the northwest corner of the state.

A small, broken line of very light showers are stretching from back in Clarksdale in northwestern Mississippi, through the northwestern tip of the state in Colbert and Lauderdale counties, then exits the state into Tennessee through Iron City to Cornersville. These will continue to dissipate through the next hour or so.

Temperatures from around Central Alabama at this point were running in the upper 70s to the lower 80s. The warm spot is currently at Montgomery at 84 degrees, while Cullman and Eufaula are both tied as the coolest spot at 79 degrees. The good news is that dewpoints are currently in the mid to upper 50s, and along with a northeasterly wind when it blows, makes it actually feel a few degrees cooler.

Skies will generally stay sunny throughout the remainder of the daylight hours, and afternoon highs will get up into the mid to upper 80s. Tonight will be a nice and cool evening for late June in Central Alabama… Skies will be clear with the overnight lows falling into the lower to mid 60s.

Tuesday will be another fantastic day across Central Alabama. Mostly sunny skies with lower humidity levels will make the afternoon highs feel cooler than the mid to upper 80s that will be reached throughout the area.
