DRY, PLEASANT AFTERNOON: The rain that was over South Alabama this morning has mostly moved out of the state; the sky is mostly sunny with temperatures in the 50s. The exception is the southeast corner of the state, where Dothan reports mid 40s with lingering clouds at mid-afternoon.
RADAR CHECK: Light rain is falling in spots over the southern half of Alabama this morning, otherwise clouds cover much of the state with temperatures in the 35-45 degree range. The rain will end across South Alabama by midday, and drier, colder air rolls into the state tonight.

SNOW! Much of North and Central Alabama enjoyed during the pre-dawn hours, and snow continues in many areas at daybreak. But, as warmer air aloft moves over the state, the snow will change to rain over the next six hours for most places with temperatures rising into the mid 30s.
MESSY WINTER WEATHER AHEAD: Clouds will increase across Alabama tonight ahead of an approaching storm system. Temperatures drop into the 26-32 degree range tomorrow morning over the northern half of the state.
COLD START: Many communities across North Alabama are down in the upper teens early this morning with a clear sky… we have 20s all the way down to the Gulf Coast. The weather stays dry today with a high in the low to mid 40s for most communities.
