No record for Birmingham; the record low today is 20 set in 1960. But you certainly don’t see lows in the teens that often here in early December. On the positive side, a warming trend begins this afternoon with a sunny sky; the high today will be in the mid 50s.
RAIN RETURNS: Clouds gradually increase tomorrow, but the day should be dry with a high in the 55-59 degree range. An upper low to the west will push rain into the state late tomorrow night and Friday. Models have trended a little slower with the system; it now looks like most of the rain will come from midnight tomorrow night through 6:00 p.m. Friday. Although there might be a rumble of thunder somewhere, no severe weather is expected, and rain amounts should average around 1/2 inch. Temperatures will hold in the 50s all day Friday.
THE ALABAMA WEEKEND: The weekend will be rain-free. The sky becomes partly sunny Saturday, and we expect a good supply of sunshine Sunday. The high Saturday will be in the mid 50s, and not far from 60 Sunday afternoon.
NEXT WEEK: A new surge of cooler air drops into the state Monday; the sky will be partly sunny with a high between 48 and 52. The rest of the week will be cool and dry with highs in the 50s and lows in the 30s… See the Weather Xtreme video for maps, graphics, and more details.
