Chilly Outside At Midday, A Little Warmer On Thursday
As of 12:00 pm, we have bright sunshine across much of Central Alabama with a few thin clouds floating overhead filtering out some of the sun’s rays. Temperatures are still chilly at the noon hour with the mid-30s to the upper 40s across the area from northwest to southeast. Haleyville was at 34 degrees, Birmingham at 39 degrees, and Eufaula at 47 degrees.
WEATHER FOR THE REST OF YOUR WEDNESDAY
Skies will remain mostly clear to partly cloudy as these thin clouds will continue to filter out the sun for the rest of the afternoon and into the early evening hours. Afternoon highs will be in the lower 40s to the lower 50s. Skies will be mostly clear during the late night and into the overnight hours with lows in the upper teens to the upper 20s.
BRIGHT SUNSHINE AND WARMER ON THURSDAY
As the “Polar Vortex” troughing over the Great Lakes region begins to lift back off to the northeast, the flow over Central Alabama will be more out of the west on Thursday. While skies will be mostly clear, afternoon highs will be a little warmer reaching the upper 40s to the mid-50s across the area from north to south. Mainly clear skies will persist through the evening and overnight hours with lows in the upper 20s to the mid-30s.
LOOKS LIKE WARMER THAN NORMAL TEMPERATURES FOR NEXT WEEK
Taking a brief step into Voodoo Land, the 6-10 Day Temperature Probability Outlook shows more than a 70% chance of above normal temperatures for the first full work week of February. The GFS is actually painting highs in the 70s on Tuesday, even though it looks like we will be dealing with rain.
