Then, on Sunday, the day will be mostly cloudy with a few scattered showers possible. Rain will be more widespread Sunday night as a surface low passes through the region. Rain amounts of around 1/2 inch are likely over the northern half of the state, with very light amounts over South Alabama. Highs over the weekend will be generally in the 66-70 degree range.
