Dry Tomorrow; Rain Returns Thursday

James Spann | April 24, 2018 @ 3:28 pm

REST OF THE WEEK: Tomorrow will be dry with a mix of sun and clouds; the high will be in the low 70s for most communities. Clouds thicken tomorrow night, and Thursday looks wet with occasional rain throughout the day. We won’t get out of the 60s Thursday due to clouds and rain. Then, on Friday, we expect some sun during the day, but a few showers are possible Friday afternoon and Friday evening ahead of an approaching cold front. Moisture will be pretty limited, and rain amounts should be light.

UPPER LOW NEARBY: A deep upper low is passing north of Alabama, and is responsible for scattered showers across the state this afternoon. Most of the rain at mid-afternoon was east of I-65, and north of I-20. Away from the showers we are seeing some breaks in the cloud cover, and temperatures are mostly in the upper 60s and low 70s. Showers will taper off later this evening once the sun goes down.

Today will feature more clouds than sun for the northern half of the state, and we will maintain the chance of a few scattered showers as the upper low approaches.
