Today Will Be Great, But Tomorrow Will Be Even Better

RADAR & SATELLITE CHECK
Skies across Central Alabama are crystal clear, and of course with a clear sky, that means that radar is clear as well. As a matter of fact, just about the whole southeastern United States is clear, except for remnant clouds hanging tough across the Atlantic Coast of the Carolinas, Georgia, and across the Florida Peninsula from Tropical Storm Colin. Most of the rainfall associated with Colin is offshore except for rain affecting the outer banks of North Carolina, and showers stretching across the Central Florida Peninsula.
