Warm Tonight, Rain + Cold Sunday
The warm temperatures Saturday afternoon will persist into the evening hours. Temperatures will stay level tonight, lows will be in the upper 60s. A few showers are possible tonight, but steadier and more widespread rain will not arrive until late Saturday night into Sunday morning. The rain will come ahead of a cold front carrying a sharp temperature contrast behind it. The front will move through the river region tomorrow morning through about 12 PM, this is when the first wave of rain can be expected. Behind the front, temperatures will fall quickly. Many locations will be in the 40s by around 3 PM tomorrow afternoon.
Another wave of rainfall will move through behind the front Sunday evening. This will be a cold rain, no frozen precipitation is expected. Temperatures fall into the mid 30s Sunday night, behind held up just a bit thanks to lingering clouds. The front stalls just to our southeast Monday morning, so some rainfall can be expected Monday morning, especially in southeastern Alabama. Highs on Monday will only be in the upper 40s to around 50.
We finally dry out for a bit Tuesday and Wednesday. Highs Tuesday will be in the mid 50s, with low 60s by Wednesday. Looks like there will be another good chance for rain Thursday ahead of yet another front, with temps topping out in the 50s next Friday and on Christmas Eve.
