Saturday Weather Xtreme — Rain Today; Dry & Much Cooler on Sunday

A cold front will move through the area today with showers and storms, but we’ll also have some activity out ahead of the front in the warm and moist sector. We do have just enough instability out ahead of the front that a strong to severe storm is possible, mainly south of a line from Selma to Clanton to Alexander City to Auburn. The Storm Prediction Center has a Marginal Risk for severe storms up for the southern half of the area as there is the potential for isolated damaging wind gusts within any stronger thunderstorm. Tornadoes should not be an issue as the best shear remains out to our west. Highs will be in the lower to mid-70s.

Sunday will be a much calmer day, with much cooler temperatures behind the cold front. It may be breezy at times, as winds may gust up to as high as 20 mph out of the north. Skies will be partly cloudy, with highs reaching the upper 40s to the mid-60s across the area.

A surface low will form and start to move across the Gulf Coast on Monday that will bring a chance of showers to the southern half of the area late on Monday evening and eventually into the rest of Central Alabama on Tuesday. Much of the activity looks to move out of the area before daybreak on Wednesday. Monday’s highs will be in the lower 50s to the lower 60s, while staying in the 50s on Tuesday.

Ridging will begin to build back in over the southeast starting on Wednesday and will continue to strengthen throughout the remainder of the workweek. Skies will be mostly clear on each day with highs in the mid-50s to the lower 60s on Wednesday, upper 50s to the mid-60s on Thursday, and into the lower 60s to the lower 70s on Friday.
