Turning Out To Be A Nice Wednesday, Just A Little On The Cool & Breezy Side

At 1:20 PM across North/Central Alabama, skies are continuing to clear from the northwest to the southeast, with a good bit of the area enjoying bright sunshine. The only drawback at this time is the breezy conditions, with winds averaging 15 MPH out of the north making it feel a little cooler than what it actually is. Temperatures range from the lower 50s in the north to the lower 60s in the south. The only exception to that is the 66 degree reading in Eufaula, making it the warm spot in North/Central Alabama.

For the rest of today, winds will gradually start to subside and will eventually become calm during the middle of the evening. Skies will continue to clear out and clouds should be out of the area by sunset. Afternoon highs will top out in the lower 50s to the mid-60s from north to south.

For tonight, temperatures will really cool off and turn very cold for this time of the year. Overnight lows will bottom out in the upper 20s in the north to the upper 30s in the south. A Freeze Warning goes into effect at 1:00 AM Thursday for all of the North Alabama counties and 4:00 AM Thursday for the counties in the northern half of Central Alabama, where temperatures are expected to reach and drop below the freezing point. The warning has an expire time at 9:00 AM Thursday.

Thursday’s weather will be warmer, but still not up to the normal temperatures for early April in North/Central Alabama. Skies will be mostly sunny throughout the day and highs will reach the lower 60s in the north to the lower 70s in the extreme southern parts of Central Alabama. For Thursday night, temperatures will not be as cold as tonight’s, and clouds will begin to move in from the northwest during the evening. Skies will be mostly cloudy and we may have a few scattered showers over the northern parts of the area starting after midnight. Lows will be in the mid to upper 40s from north to south.
