Partly Cloudy & Still Rather Cold At Midday, Rain Returns Tomorrow

At 12:00 PM: As we have just hit the midday hour on Thursday, skies are partly cloudy across much of Central Alabama. Temperatures are still rather cold (in my book) only in the 40s across the area. The warm spots were Eufaula and Demopolis at 48 degrees, while the cool spot is Alabaster at 41 degrees. Birmingham was at 46 degrees.

WEATHER FOR THE REST OF YOUR THURSDAY: Skies will continue to be partly cloudy through the remainder of the afternoon and into the early evening hours while temperatures only climb a little. Afternoon highs will top out in the upper 40s to the lower 50s. For tonight, clouds will be on the increase and a few showers may move into the northwest corner of Central Alabama before we reach sunrise on Friday morning. Overnight lows will be in the mid to the upper 30s.

RAIN AT TIMES AND REMAINING RATHER COOL ON FRIDAY: Showers will begin moving into the northwestern parts of the area to start the day and move across the northern half of Central Alabama throughout the daylight hours. While a few showers are possible along and south of I-20, most of the shower activity will be located north of the corridor. Afternoon highs will be in the mid-40s to the upper 50s. Rain chances increase across the area on Friday night and through the overnight hours, with rain likely north of a line from Demopolis to Alexander. South of that line, shower chances will be in the 20-50% from south to north. Lows will be in the lower to the mid-40s.
