Locally Dense Fog Overnight; Another Round Of Rain Sunday Night

It was a cloudy and warm day across central and south Alabama, while an area of showers gradually moved west to east across our area. The area of showers was near the leading edge of a cold front. The front loses its momentum this evening, eventually stalling near the gulf coast overnight. For the rest of the evening, expect the line of showers to continue sliding east, with showers confined to southeast Alabama by 11PM. Our area looks mainly rain-free by midnight, but fog likely develops around the same time across much of our area. Temperatures fall to either side of 50° overnight.

Fog could be locally dense through Sunday morning, but clears by midday. Our area looks mainly dry with a sun/cloud mix through the early afternoon from there. Temperatures recover into the 60s, then clouds increase by the late afternoon. Rain arrives in west Alabama during the evening, as another storm system heads our way. Rain continues throughout Sunday night. It appears the heaviest rain stays across the north half of Alabama. However, our northern communities could pick up close to one inch of rain through early Monday morning. Fortunately, no severe weather is expected.

Most of the rain should be east of our area by sunrise Monday. However, clouds linger through the morning. They may gradually break up through the afternoon. However, Monday looks cool and breezy. Expect highs only in the 50s, while winds could gust over 20 mph at times. Monday night turns cold, with lows in the 30s. Most of Tuesday looks dry, but expect another round of showers by Tuesday night. Highs may reach the low 60s, while lows fall into the 40s.

Rain continues through Wednesday morning, but the afternoon looks drier. Expect another cool-down as the midweek system departs, with Wednesday highs in the 50s and lows in the 30s. Next Thursday and Friday looks dry and mostly sunny (finally), but cool. Expect highs in the 50s with lows in the 30s. It looks like next weekend features another round of rain, most likely late Saturday and Sunday.
