COLD FRONT APPROACHING: Clouds will increase across Alabama on this Thanksgiving Day ahead of a cold front… showers will push into the northwest corner of the state by early afternoon. Those showers will work slowly southward late this afternoon and tonight; moisture is very limited and rain amounts should be 1/4″ or less for most places. Not expecting any thunder, and the rain will be over late tonight as drier air works into the state.
RADAR CHECK: A band of showers has pushed into Northwest Alabama early this morning ahead of a cold front that will bring a significant weather change today.
