Clearing Tomorrow; Colder
STILL WET: Large areas of light to moderate rain persist across Alabama this afternoon. The sky is cloudy, and rain will continue to fall at times tonight ahead of an upper trough.
THE ALABAMA WEEKEND: Clouds will linger into the morning hours tomorrow; there could be a bit of scattered light rain. But, during the day the sky becomes partly to mostly sunny as dry air returns. The day will be colder with a high around 50 degrees. Then, on Sunday, expect sunshine in full supply with a high in the mid 50s after sub-freezing start to the day.
NEXT WEEK: Monday will be dry and pleasant with a high in the low 60s; clouds move in Monday night, and rain is likely Tuesday, especially during the morning hours, ahead of the next weather system moving in from the west. Looks like rain amounts will be 1/2 inch or less, and dry weather returns Wednesday and Thursday. Another rain producing system should arrive late in the week on Friday (January 10)… See the Weather Xtreme video for maps, graphics, and more details.
Still no sign of any extremely cold, Arctic air for Alabama and the Deep South through mid-January… the CPC outlook for January 11-17 continues to show above average temperatures for the eastern half of the nation, with the cold air way out west.
