Some Clouds & Cooler In The South; Sunny & Warmer To The North At Midday
A cold front is currently working its way through the extreme northern parts of Central Alabama as we have now entered the 11 o’clock hour. Skies are clear in the northern parts of the area while some high clouds are flowing in from the west over the southern parts of the area. This trend will continue throughout the rest of the afternoon before skies eventually become partly cloudy later this evening. Temperatures at this point are in the upper 40s to the upper 50s throughout the area, with the locations covered with clouds at this time being the cooler spots. Birmingham is currently at 52 degrees, while the warm spot is Eufaula at 59 degrees.
Much of the clouds streaming in from the west will mostly stay over the south-central and southern parts of Central Alabama throughout the remainder of the afternoon and early evening hours, while the rest of the area will have generally clear skies. Afternoon highs will range from the lower 50s in the north to the lower 60 in the south. For tonight, more clouds will start to float in from the west and will make the skies partly cloudy throughout the area. Overnight lows will be in the upper 20s to the upper 30s from north to south.
With the cold front being well to the south of the area on Friday, those high temperatures will be much cooler than they were for today. We can expect more clouds than sun throughout Central Alabama for tomorrow with highs only topping out in the mid-40s to the mid-50s from north to south. Winds will be out of the northwest at 4-8 MPH, so those will make the temperatures feel about 3 degrees cooler than the actual temperature. Skies will begin to clear out for the night and overnight hours, and lows will drop down into the mid-20s to the lower 30s from north to south.

2010 – A rare tornado struck the small town of Aumsville, Oregon, tearing roofs off buildings, hurling objects into vehicles and homes and uprooting trees. No one was injured but the destruction left behind was severe. The National Weather Service classified the tornado as an EF2 with wind speeds of 110-120 mph and they said the tornado’s damage trail was five miles long and 150 yards wide. 50 houses in Aumsville and the surrounding county area were affected, with 10 of them being unsuitable for occupancy.
