Rain At Times Tomorrow; Mostly Dry Sunday

James Spann | December 2, 2022 @ 2:58 pm

THIS AFTERNOON: We have a mix of sun and clouds across Alabama this afternoon, temperatures are in the 60s over North Alabama, and close to 70 over the southern counties of the state. We continue to see a few sprinkles on radar, but most places are dry. Clouds increase tonight with a low in the 55-62 degree range.

Tomorrow will be a cloudy day with occasional showers. Not an all day rain, no risk of severe storms, and probably not much thunder. The high will be 65-70 over North Alabama, with low 70s possible to the south. Then, on Sunday, the surface front will drift down into far South Alabama, and most of the state will be dry with lingering clouds and highs in the 50s.

NEXT WEEK: The front will drift northward early next week as a warm front, meaning some rain at times Monday through Wednesday. The high Monday will be in the 50s over North Alabama; warmer air over South Alabama will persist with highs over 70. Then, we expect highs in the 70s statewide Tuesday through Thursday. Temperatures trend a bit cooler Friday, and for now Thursday and Friday look generally dry. No sign of any bitterly cold air for the next 7-10 days… See the daily Weather Briefing video for maps, graphics, and more details.
