Skies are clearing out across much of Central Alabama as we have made it up to the midday hour. We still have some cloud cover over the western and extreme southern locations. Temperatures are in the lower 50s to the lower 70s across the area. Birmingham was at 63 degrees. The cool spot was Haleyville at 52 degrees. Montgomery and Troy were the warm spots at 70 degrees.

We’ll have a mix of sun and clouds throughout the rest of the daylight hours but it looks like the rain is over for a short time. Afternoon highs will be in the upper 50s to the mid-70s across the area. Skies will become cloudy later tonight, but we will continue to stay dry. Overnight lows will bottom out in the upper 30s to the upper 40s across the area from northwest to southeast.

Friday will be an overall cloudy day across Central Alabama. We could see a few passing light showers or drizzle during the later part of the afternoon hours, but the better rain chances will move in during the night time hours. Afternoon highs will be in the mid-50s to the lower 60s across the area.
