Plenty Of Sun But Still Rather Cool At Midday

CONDITIONS ACROSS CENTRAL ALABAMA AT 11:45 AM: Plenty of sunshine across much of the area as we are approaching the noon hour, with the only exception of some high, thin clouds over the southern portions of the area. Not a single drop of rain on the radar and none is expected until tomorrow as some gulf moisture will be pulled up into the area. Temperatures are a little warmer at this time compared to just 24-hours ago, with readings in the lower 40s to just at 50 degrees from north to south. The cold spot is 42 degrees at the St. Clair County Airport, while the warm spot is Uniontown at 50 degrees. Birmingham was sitting at 45 degrees.

WEATHER FOR THE REST OF YOUR WEDNESDAY: We’ll continue to have a very beautiful day across Central Alabama for the rest of the afternoon and into the early evening hours with plenty of sunshine and very few clouds over the southern parts of the area. Afternoon highs will be in the mid-40s to the mid-50s across the area from northeast to southwest. For tonight and into the overnight hours, clouds will be on the increase but we will remain rain-free until after daybreak on Thursday. Overnight lows will be in the 30s.

SHOWERS POSSIBLE ON THURSDAY WITH WARMER TEMPERATURES: Our surface winds will begin to shift more out of the south pulling up some moisture up from the gulf, as a high will be centered around or near the Atlantic coast of Georgia. That moisture will be pulled up and around the top side of that high, bringing a chance of a few light showers mainly over the north and northwestern parts of Central Alabama. South of the I-20 and I-59/20 corridors, very little if any rain is expected, while north of that, rain chances will range from 20-40% throughout the day. Skies will be mostly cloudy for much of the area and afternoon highs top out in the mid-50s to the mid-60s from northeast to southwest.

THE TROPICS: All is quiet across the Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, and the Caribbean Sea, and no new tropical cyclones are expected to form within the next five days. The Atlantic Hurricane Season comes to an end at the end of the day on Friday, November 30th.
