Midday Nowcast: Sun, Clouds, Warm Temperatures

It is another dry and very warm day of weather across Alabama. We are seeing more clouds than sun at times, but despite the clouds, temperatures are heading into the mid-80s in most locations this afternoon.

Tonight will be a fair night with variable cloudiness, expect lows in the low and mid 60s.

TOMORROW/FRIDAY: Clouds will increase tomorrow across the state as a frontal boundary approaches the state overnight tomorrow night. Tomorrow will remain dry and very warm with highs again well into the 80s. Rain will return to Alabama tomorrow night as a band of showers pushes through the state early Friday morning. Little instability and weak dynamics means some rumbles of thunder are possible, but no severe storms. The rain will end early Friday as the front pushes into South Alabama. Rain amounts one-half inch are expected. Behind the front, Friday will be cooler with highs back in the 70s.
