James Spann | September 22, 2020 @ 3:20 pm

COOL SEPTEMBER DAY: The average high on September 22 at Birmingham is 83; temperatures are only in the upper 60s and low 70s across much of Alabama this afternoon. The sky is mostly cloudy, and we have seen a few sprinkles and patches of light rain around, especially on the western side of the state. The sky will stay generally cloudy tomorrow; a few showers are possible over West Alabama during the day, but rain becomes more likely statewide as the remnant circulation of former Tropical Storm Beta gets closer.

At 12:00 pm, radar shows some scattered shower activity over the west and west-central parts of Central Alabama, but with the dry air in place over the area, most of what is being shown are probably not reaching the ground at this time.

Rain Returns Statewide Thursday

Today will be another dry, pleasant day with highs in the 70s, but high clouds will be increasing from the west. Tomorrow will be mostly cloudy with a high in the 70s; a shower could reach West Alabama late in the day, but the better chance of rain comes late tomorrow night as weakening Tropical Storm Beta approaches from the west.

Clouds persist over the southern counties of the state, with some patchy light rain near the coast.

It is definitely a beautiful but breezy day across Central Alabama today as the northern half has mainly clear skies with the southern half having some clouds flowing in from Tropical Storm Beta that is located hundreds of miles to our southwest sitting just off of the Texas Gulf Coast.
