Improving Conditions Across Central Alabama At Midday

| February 26, 2018 @ 12:59 pm

We have mostly cloudy skies across much of Central Alabama at 12:35 PM, but we do have clearing taking place in the northwestern parts of the area as I type. This clearing will continue to occur from northwest to southeast throughout the remainder of the day, and we should all see some sunshine before the evening arrives.

We do have some light spotty showers showing up on radar over the central and west-central parts of the area at this point, stretching from Livingston to Moundville to Gardendale. If you are out and about in these areas and in between, you may have to use your wipers for a few minutes.

Temperatures at this time are much cooler than what we saw just last week, but they are still relatively warm to the normal highs for late February. We are currently ranging from the upper 50s in the northwest to the upper 60s to right at 70 degrees in the southeast. Birmingham was sitting at 63 degrees at the time.


Weather For The Rest Of Your Monday

The cold front will have moved well to our southeast and skies will continue clearing from the northwest to the southeast throughout the remainder of the afternoon and early evening hours. Those lingering showers will continue to push off to the southeast, so there will be a small chance of showers for those south of a line from Livingston to Brent to Talladega. North of that, once the rain has passed your location, you will be dry for the remainder of the day and throughout the late night and overnight hours. Afternoon highs will top out in the lower 60s to the lower 70s throughout the area, with lows in the lower 40s to the lower 50s.


A Great Day On Tuesday, But Rain Pushes Back In Late

NAM simulated radar valid at 12:00 AM Wednesday.

For much of the daytime hours on Tuesday, skies will be mostly clear and temperatures will be warming back up into the upper 60s to the lower 70s, making it a very nice late winter day in Central Alabama. Unfortunately, clouds will start to move in during the late afternoon hours out ahead of our next system that will bring rain chances back into the area before midnight. Overnight lows will range throughout the 50s.
