Away They Go–Early Afternoon in Alabama

Looking around the Alabama countryside very early this afternoon, changes are taking place. The cold font–well, cool front, is moving in. At 1 pm, you could draw a line from Fort Payne to Gadsden, Birmingham, Montgomery, cooler air is spreading in behind that line. All showers are now east of that line.

There is virtually no lightning.

The dew point is dropping steadily behind the front (translation: lower humidity) and we are headed for a cool night and an all-sunshine pleasant Thursday. When we finish the Seven Day Forecast a little later this afternoon, we will probably use a low of about 51 tonight which translates to a low of about 48 in places like Pinson and Valley Head.
