Much Better Conditions Across Central Alabama At Midday Compared To 24 Hours Ago

CONDITIONS ACROSS CENTRAL ALABAMA AT 12:15 PM CST

Other than some thin high clouds filtering some of the sun across parts of the area, much of Central Alabama is bathed in total sunshine as we have reached the midday hour. Temperatures are already much warmer than just 24 hours ago, with the upper 40s to the upper 50s being reported at this time. The cool spot is Pell City at 48 degrees while the warm spot is Demopolis at 57 degrees. Birmingham was sitting at 52 degrees.

WEATHER FOR THE REST OF YOUR FRIDAY

Skies will continue to be mainly clear during the rest of the afternoon and into the early evening hours. Afternoon highs will top out in the mid to the upper 50s, approximately 20 degrees warmer than the highs we saw around much of the area yesterday. For this evening’s high school football games, skies will be clear throughout the games and temperatures will be falling from the mid to the upper 40s at kickoff into the upper 30s to the lower 40s by the final whistle. Skies will continue to be clear throughout the late night and overnight hours and lows will bottom out in the mid to the upper 30s. Some patchy frost is possible across the colder spots.

THE LAST WEEKEND BEFORE CHRISTMAS SEASON ARRIVES

Central Alabama will be able to enjoy the weather outside as we’ll have outstanding conditions throughout the weekend. We’ll have plenty of sunshine with mild temperatures, reaching the lower to mid-60s throughout the area on both Saturday and Sunday.

SATURDAY’S COLLEGE FOOTBALL GAMES

ALABAMA: The Citadel pays a visit to Bryant-Denny Stadium with kickoff scheduled at 11:00 am CST Saturday. Skies will mainly be clear throughout the game with one or two clouds possible. Temperatures will be in the upper 50s at kickoff and climbing into the mid-60s by the 4th quarter. Great day to be in the stands with my son for his first major football game experience.

AUBURN: Much of the same story down on the plains as the Tigers host Liberty University on Saturday. Temperatures at the 3:00 pm CST kickoff will be in the mid-60s and falling to near 50 degrees by the 4th quarter. Skies will mainly be clear throughout the game.

UAB: The Blazers head out to College Station on Saturday to take on Texas A&M with a 6:00 pm CST kickoff. Skies will be partly cloudy to start and clouds will be on the increase throughout the game. Temperatures will be starting off in the lower 60s and falling into the upper 50s by the end of the game.

THE TROPICS

No areas of interest across the Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, or the Caribbean Sea, and no new tropical cyclone development is expected throughout the next 5 days. Only 15 more days of the Atlantic Hurricane Season left for 2018.
