Some Sunshine Wednesday, But More Rain Ahead
Wednesday morning featured fairly widespread, heavy rain with embedded storms. However, the rain gradually pushed southeast through midday. Just about all of the rain was out of our area by midday. However, clouds were still widespread. The back edge of the cloud deck was south of I-20 and approaching a Demopolis-Marion-Clanton line at noon. The sky gradually clears northwest to southeast this afternoon. Most locations see some sunshine before sunset this evening. Temperatures look milder as a result, with highs in the low 60s. Temperatures turn cooler this evening and overnight with a clear sky ininitally. Lows fall into the 40s.
Some clouds quickly return to the sky Thursday morning. The sky becomes mostly cloudy during the afternoon. However, temperatures look even warmer with highs in the upper 60s to low 70s. By Thursday evening, scattered showers appear possible. These continue overnight through Friday morning. Temperatures may not fall below the 60s Thursday night. Friday looks even warmer, with highs in the mid to upper 70s. Some sunshine appears possible. However, the sky could be mostly cloudy with scattered showers still possible throughout the day.

The weekend starts with our highest probability for rain over the next eight on Saturday. Rain and storms appear most likely during the afternoon in advance of a cold front. Some storms could produce strong wind gusts. However, any significant risk for severe storms remains questionable. The front pushes through our area by Saturday night.
