A Few Lingering Showers Over The Southeastern Parts Of Central Alabama At Midday

CONDITIONS ACROSS CENTRAL ALABAMA AT 11:45 AM
We continue to have some scattered shower activity over the southeastern quarter of Central Alabama along the cold front that moved through much of the area on Monday but staled out over the southern parts. North of the I-20 corridor, all is dry at this point with mostly cloudy skies. There are a few breaks that are allowing for some sun to shine for a few minutes, but we should stay mainly gray throughout the day. Temperatures are currently in the mid-50s to the mid-60s across much of the area, but much warmer down ahead of the front in Eufaula at 74 degrees. The cool spot is Haleyville at 55 degrees, while Birmingham is at 63 degrees.

WEATHER FOR THE REST OF YOUR NEW YEAR’S DAY 2019
While much of the area will be considerably drier than Monday, we’ll still continue to have a chance of showers mainly south of the I-20 corridor through the rest of the afternoon and into the early evening hours. Those showers will be associated with the front that moved through much of the area but stalled out over the southern parts of the area. Skies will continue to be mainly cloudy, but a few breaks will allow for some sun to make it down to the surface at times. Afternoon highs will top out in the upper 50s to the lower 70s. Showers chances do drop during the late evening and through the overnight hours, but a small chance of scattered showers will remain south of the I-20 corridor. Overnight lows will be in the lower 40s to the upper 50s.

RAIN RETURNS FOR THE ENTIRE AREA ON WEDNESDAY
Another system will start to build out to our west and more moisture will begin to flow up into the area. While we start off dry at daybreak, some light to moderate showers will start to move into the area before midday. Skies will be cloudy and highs will top out in the upper 40s to the upper 60s across the area from northwest to southeast. Chance of rain throughout the day will be around 60%.
