Wispy High Clouds Filtering The Sunshine At Midday

| December 12, 2018 @ 11:44 am

AT 11:30 AM: While some in the southern and eastern parts are seeing some of the sun’s rays reaching the surface at midday, these pesky high clouds are keeping the rest of Central Alabama from enjoying the brighter and a little warmer atmosphere. Temperatures across the area are coming in with mid-40s to 50 degrees north of I-20, with lower to mid-50s south of that. Birmingham and Tuscaloosa were both at 50 degrees while Gadsden was the cool spot at 45 degrees. Dannelly Field in Montgomery is the “balmy” spot at 55 degrees.

WEATHER FOR THE REST OF YOUR “HUMP DAY”: We will stay dry through the rest of the day across Central Alabama as our next rain-making system is in the process of forming out to our west. We’ll continue to have high clouds across the skies for the daylight hours and afternoon highs should reach the mid-50s to just at 60 degrees from north to south across the area. Clouds will increase throughout the evening and overnight hours, but rain continues to stay generally west of the Mississippi River. Overnight lows will fall into the mid-30s to the mid-40s.

SHOWERS MOVE IN LATE ON THURSDAY: While it is possible that we may have a few stray showers move across the western parts of Central Alabama throughout the late morning and the afternoon hours, rain will be likely by sunset across the entire area. Don’t expect to see that much of the sun tomorrow as skies will be mainly cloudy throughout the day and highs should top out in the mid-50s to the lower 60s. Rainfall amounts (pictured above) throughout the day should end up in the 0.10 inches in the northeast to around 0.75 inches in the southwest.
