COOL CHANGE: Temperatures have dropped into the 50-55 degree range over parts of North Alabama this morning following a cold front that passed through late yesterday. The cooler air will continue to spread southward, and we project a high in the low 80s today, about 15 degrees cooler than yesterday. The sky will be mostly sunny, and the humidity will be low.

HOT: Temperatures have reached the mid 90s again today across much of Alabama ahead of a surface front that is near I-20 at mid-afternoon.

HOT SEPTEMBER DAY: Temperatures are in the mid 90s across much of Alabama this afternoon, about ten degrees above average, and not too far from record values for the 21st of September. No rain on radar, and the sky is mostly sunny. We reach the 91-94 degree range tomorrow with a partly to mostly sunny sky, but a cold front will come through in dry fashion tomorrow evening, and that will bring heat relief by Friday and the weekend.
