Alabama 811 | Know What's Below.

Gorgeous Sunday

| October 26, 2014 @ 11:45 am

Well, the Perfect Weather Warning for yesterday certainly verified across Central and North Alabama with plentiful sunshine, light winds and perfect temperatures.  High on Saturday ranged from 76F at Anniston to 77F at Birmingham/Calera to 80F at Tuscaloosa.  You usually can’t beat October weather in our great state and Saturday was no exception.

TODAY AIN’T BAD EITHER:  Another gorgeous day is in progress across the area.  Most areas woke up in the 50s with a few 40s across the Tennessee Valley, including 48F at Fort Payne, 40F at Courtland and the state’s icebox, Valley Head, checked in with 38F.   A little patchy fog was around in spots, mainly around bodies of water that were warmer than the air temperature.  Fog was pretty dense and long lasting in the major river valleys.  You can clearly see it on visible satellite imagery this morning.

Temperatures were well on their way to afternoon highs in the lower 80s by the noon hour.  Only the higher spots in Northeast Alabama will qualify for a Perfect Weather designation today, where highs will remain in the upper 70s.  But the rest of our weather is nothing to be ashamed of.

TONIGHT:  Under mostly clear skies tonight, temperatures will drop in the 50s rather uniformly, with 40s limited to those normally colder locations.

WORKWEEK AHEAD:  Monday looks ideal as well with highs in the 80s.  Tuesday will feature an approaching cold front, with rain pushing into Northwest Alabama late Tuesday night.  But he system will be weakening and rain chances will going down as the front pushes southeastward., For the I-20/59 corridor, the best chances will be during the day on Wednesday with Wednesday night activities going off without a weather hitch.   After the front makes it through Thursday, a cool down will push temperatures back to seasonable levels.  Highs Wednesday through Thursday will be around 70F with lows in the 40s.

WEEKEND SNEAK PEEK: A  reinforcing shot of cooler air will bring highs back to around 60F for Saturday and there is a chance some spots won’t get out of the 50s Saturday and Sunday.  Lows will drop back into the 30s and 40s.  No rain is expected.
