Alabama at Noon

Showers and thunderstorms entered Northwest Alabama last evening, triggered by capitalizing on a little instability that was in place. As forecast, they weakened as they moved southeast and the instability waned. There was just enough spark from a cold front to keep them going through the overnight hours, but low pressure rippling along the front moved away to the northeast, they lost their motivation an fizzled. Rainfall amounts were light, except over West Central Alabama, where one half to over an inch of rain may have fallen across northern Sumter and Greene Counties according to radar estimates.

COOLER: After a springlike, or some might say, summerlike day across Central Alabama on Saturday, today’s readings have behaved more like they should in early November, keeping to the 50s and lower 60s across North and North central Alabama. The lower readings are a combination result of clouds, early showers and cooler air moving in behind a cold front that lies south of Montgomery at lunchtime. Sun was making an appearance over Northwest and North Alabama, but temperatures may still have a hard time getting out of the 50s in places like Hamilton, Fayette, Haleyville, Huntsville, Muscle Shoals and Jasper. Clearing was reaching Tuscaloosa, Birmingham and Anniston at noon, and readings here might high a chance to make their appointed highs in the middle and upper 60s.

TONIGHT: Skies will clear across North and Central Alabama overnight, allowing the mercury to fall into the upper 30s to lower 40s.

MONDAY/TUESDAY: Still resolving details for tomorrow through Tuesday for the afternoon package, but it looks like that after a partly cloudy morning and increasing clouds late tomorrow, showers will become likely tomorrow night into early Tuesday morning.
