At Midday: Clouds Continue to Block Out the Sun for the Northwestern Half of the Area

STATUS UPDATE: As of 11:03 am this morning, we have clouds covering nearly all of Central Alabama west of the I-59 corridor, with partly cloudy to mostly sunny skies east of that. At this point, radar is not picking up any precipitation at the moment, but I would not be surprised if a few light showers form during the afternoon and into the early evening hours. It is a nice and mild morning out there, as temperatures are in the upper 50s to the lower 70s across Central Alabama. Haleyville and Gadsden were the cool spots at 59 degrees, while Troy was leading the way as the warm spot at 72 degrees. It is 68 degrees in Birmingham.

REST OF TODAY: Those clouds will continue to slowly move eastward, and a few light showers will be possible throughout the afternoon and evening hours, especially north and west of a line from Selma to Clanton to Anniston. Afternoon highs will top out in the mid-60s to the mid-70s across the area from northwest to southeast. For tonight, showers will be possible across nearly all of Central Alabama, with the exception for locations along and south of the I-85 corridor. Fog will also be an issue in spots as well. Lows will bottom out in the upper 40s to the upper 50s.

SUNDAY’S WEATHER: Nearly the same story as today, as we’ll continue to keep a chance of showers for nearly all of Central Alabama except for the extreme southeastern locations. We’ll start off with fog once again, but clouds will keep the sun hidden throughout the day. Temperatures will remain mild, as highs will be in the upper 60s to the mid-70s. Don’t be surprised if we have a few claps of thunder at some point on your Sunday.

ON THIS DAY IN WEATHER HISTORY: In 1972, winds gusting to 70 mph sent the temperature at Livingston, MT, plunging from 52 degrees to 18 degrees in just twenty minutes.
