ONE LAST COOL MORNING: Temperatures are mostly in the 40s over the northern half of Alabama early this morning; for many places, this will be the last morning with a low in the 40s until late September or October. The weather stays dry today with a partly to mostly sunny sky; we project a high in the mid-70s this afternoon. The average high for May 12 at Birmingham is 81.

CALM DAY: A dry airmass is in place across Alabama this morning, and we project a good of sunshine today with a high in the mid 70s. The average high for Birmingham on April 24 is 76.

Tomorrow will be another dry day, but clouds will begin to increase slowly by afternoon ahead of the next spring storm system approaching from the west.
QUIET DAY AHEAD: Dry weather continues across Alabama today, despite a cold front passing through. No moisture means no rain, and not many clouds. The high will be in the 70s this afternoon. Fair weather continues tonight, and most of tomorrow will be dry although there should be a gradual increase in clouds.
BLUE SKY: Not a cloud in the sky within at least 300 miles this afternoon. A very dry airmass, a sunny sky, and temperatures not too far from 70 degrees. Tonight will be clear and not as cold as last night; most communities will see a low in the 40s, but colder valleys and protected areas could reach the 30s again.
