Perfect Holiday Sunday

A gorgeous holiday Sunday is in progress across Central Alabama with a good supply of sunshine and just a few patchy mid-level clouds associated with a cold front that is crossing the area. Temperatures are in the middle and upper 70s in many spots thanks to all the insolation. (That’s our new word of the week!) Some folks will touch 80F this afternoon.

COOLER WEATHER AHEAD: The first cold front in a succession of them had passed the I-59 corridor by the noon hour. It will push out of Alabama by this evening.

You won’t notice much difference behind this first one. In fact, tonight’s low will look a lot like last night’s around 50F. Tomorrow’s high should be a few degrees cooler however, but still nearly perfect, topping out around 76F. A stronger cold front will arrive late tomorrow, accompanied by breezy northwest winds, but little else in the way of sensible weather. Lows tomorrow night will be a tad cooler, in the upper 40s.

You will really tell the difference Tuesday through Thursday, as highs will only be in the lower 70s at best. In fact, Wednesday highs may not get out of the 60s in spots. Overnight lows will be in the lower 40s on average Wednesday and Thursday mornings with 30s in a few of the normally colder valleys north of I-20, especially over East Alabama.
