THIS AFTERNOON: The sky is mostly sunny across Alabama this afternoon with temperatures in the 80s. We note a few isolated showers over the western half of the state… these are moving eastward and will fizzle quickly around sunset.
It is warmer today with highs in the mid to upper 80s. Tomorrow and Friday will be dry with a mix of sun and clouds both days.

WARMING UP: Afternoon highs rise into the mid 80s across most of Alabama this afternoon with a partly sunny sky. We will mention the risk of a few widely scattered showers over the northern counties this afternoon, but a decent part of the state will be dry as the upper low continues to lift away from the Deep South.
RADAR CHECK: Areas of rain and a few thunderstorms are moving eastward across the northern 2/3 of Alabama this afternoon… the southern third of the state is dry with a partly to mostly sunny sky.
The upper low is finally on the move and it will be crossing through North Alabama today. As It does, the warm and muggy air at the surface, and the colder air aloft associated with the low, is allowing showers and storms to develop across Alabama.
