Scattered to numerous showers and a few thunderstorms will continue to be possible across Central Alabama for the rest of the daylight hours with the higher chances remaining in the south and southwestern parts of the area.

As the upper trough combined with moisture from the remnants of the tropical disturbance moves closer to the area, rain and a few thunderstorms will be likely throughout the entire day. There will be breaks in the rain, but it will be an overall wet day with 1/4-inch to 1-inch rainfall totals possible (from southeast to northwest). Afternoon highs will stay in the upper 70s to the mid-80s across the area from northwest to southeast. Lows will be in the upper 60s to the lower 70s.
