Wet At Times Tomorrow Through Friday
NICE AFTERNOON: After a long, stormy night, the sky has cleared over the northern half of Alabama this afternoon; with a good supply of sunshine most communities are up in the low to mid 70s.
Tonight will be mostly fair with a low close to 50 degrees.
RAIN RETURNS: Clouds move in quickly tomorrow morning with a risk of showers as the front to the south moves northward as a warm front, and rain is likely tomorrow afternoon. The weather will stay rather unsettled Thursday and Friday with a cloudy sky and periods of rain both days. The high tomorrow will be in the upper 60s, followed by mid 60s Thursday, and low 60s Friday. Rain totals on these three days will be around one inch for most of the state.
THE ALABAMA WEEKEND: Colder, drier air rolls into the state Friday night with a clearing sky, and the weekend will feature a good supply of sunshine Saturday and Sunday with cool days and cold nights. Lows will be in the 30-35 degree range, with 20s for colder spots…. and widespread frost is likely early Sunday when the wind will be near calm. The high Saturday will be in the mid 50s, and close to 60 Sunday.
NEXT WEEK: The latest run of the American global model (the GFS) shows a moisture surge Monday with a chance of rain, followed by the coldest air so far this season by Tuesday and Wednesday. Sure looks like highs will drop into the 40s, and lows in the 20s by mid-week, easily the coldest air so far this season. See the Weather Xtreme video fo maps, graphics, and more details.
