Rainfall totals will be relatively light, less than a quarter of an inch for most locations. It is a mild day with many locations surging into the 60s, enjoy the mild temperatures today, as it will be much colder tomorrow. The rain ends overnight as a much drier and colder air mass returns to the state. Lows tonight, will fall back into the 30s across Central Alabama.

FRIDAY: Tomorrow will be a sunny and colder with highs in the upper 40s and lower 50s across North/Central Alabama. It will be a blustery day as well, with north winds of 10-20 mph, making it feel colder. The winds will relax tomorrow night, and that will allow temperatures to fall into the 20s for most locations Saturday morning.
