Sun-Filled Saturday Afternoon

After the frosty start to the day, we have warmed up nicely as we roll into the afternoon hours. The sky is full of sunshine again, with only a few of those upper-level cirrus clouds floating through the sky.

We are looking at temperatures in the 50s in most locations and these should be on either side of 60s by the end of the day.

Tonight, the sky remains mainly clear, it will be another cold one, expect lows by first thing tomorrow morning in the mid to upper 30s for North/Central Alabama.

SPRING FORWARD TONIGHT: Don’t forget to set your clocks ahead one hour before heading to bed tonight. Daylight Saving Time begins at 2AM in the morning, which means we will spring forward to 3AM. You don’t want to be late for church, brunch, or whatever else you may have planned tomorrow morning.

This time change will give us less daylight in the mornings and more daylight in the evening times for now, but the overall amount of daylight hours will continue to increase until the Summer Solstice on Saturday June 20 at 4:43 PM CDT. In case you were wondering, Daylight Saving Time ends on Sunday, November 1, 2020. Sunrise tomorrow morning for Birmingham will be at 7:06AM, while sunset tomorrow evening will be at 6:50 PM.

STAYING SUNNY: Tomorrow will be another great-looking day of weather. We will see some high clouds in the Alabama sky, giving us a more filtered sunshine look, but we stay dry, and we should see highs tomorrow a few degrees warmer than today; lower to mid 60s areawide.
