Drier through Friday, chances for rain rise again Easter weekend
Thursday morning was rather sunny across central and south Alabama. The sky ultimately becomes partly to mostly sunny Thursday afternoon, while temperatures surge into the mid to perhaps upper 80s. A handful of stray showers appear possible, but most locations remain dry. Thursday night looks partly cloudy with lows in the low 60s.
Friday looks partly cloudy and very warm with highs in the mid 80s and just stray afternoon showers. Rain chances rise again this weekend. Isolated showers or storms form Saturday afternoon, but some locations remain rain-free. For the rain-free locations, the sky remains partly cloudy. Otherwise, afternoon temperatures warm into the mid 80s.
Rain looks likely Easter along a cold front as it pushes through central and south Alabama. However, all-day rain across our entire area looks unlikely. Rain may affect mainly west Alabama during the morning, then areas east of I-65 during the afternoon. Rain departs along with the cold front Sunday evening. Next week looks mainly dry and cooler (seasonable actually) with high temperatures in the mid to upper 70s, and lows in the upper 40s to low 50s.
