RADAR CHECK: We have a few small, isolated showers across Central Alabama this afternoon, but most of North/Central Alabama is rain-free with a mostly cloudy sky. A few patches of blue sky have shown up, and temperatures are mostly in the low to mid 70s along and south of I-20. But, to the north, temperatures are only in the 60s over the northern third of the state, north of a stalled surface front.
