Wet At Times Over The Weekend; More Cold Air Next Week
BLUE SKY AND SUNSHINE: After a sub-freezing start with most communities in the 20s, we have warmed into the 60s this afternoon with a good supply of sunshine. We stay stay above freezing tonight as a south wind kicks in and clouds slowly increase after midnight.
RAIN AT TIMES OVER THE WEEKEND: The sky becomes mostly cloudy tomorrow, and showers should begin at some point during the afternoon. Still, a decent part of the day will be dry. Rain becomes widespread tomorrow night as a surface low moves over North Alabama; some thunder is possible, but we don’t expect any severe storms over the northern half of the state. SPC maintains a “marginal risk” of severe thunderstorms over Southwest Alabama for tomorrow night, generally south of a line from York to Sweetwater to Chapman to Andalusia.
Rain amounts will be in the 1 to 2 inch rain, and the rain should taper off pretty early in the day Sunday, and we only expect isolated lingering showers Sunday afternoon. Highs over the weekend will be in the 60s.
NEXT WEEK: A deep upper trough forms again over the eastern third of the U.S., and it will pull down more cold air down into the southern states. The week will be dry, but temperatures will be below average… highs in the 50s Monday through Wednesday. Look for more sub-freezing temperatures early Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday morning. A warming trend begins Friday as temperatures approach 70 degrees by afternoon. See the Weather Xtreme video for maps, graphics, and more details.
