DRY THROUGH THE WEEKEND: A cooler, continental airmass has dropped into Alabama this morning; temperatures are in the 50s over the northern half of the state, with low 60s to the south. It is a dry forecast for the Deep South through the weekend with sunny pleasant days and clear cool nights.
DRY DAYS: A dry cold front is passing through Alabama this afternoon; the sky is mostly sunny with temperatures in the 80s. The weather turns cooler tonight; most communities dip into the 50s early tomorrow morning thanks to the airmass change.
