Warmer And Rainy Days Ahead
The big January thaw is underway and you’re going to notice the change this week! Temps will warm nicely each day. Along with the warmth will come increasing moisture and that will lead to several rounds of rain. It’s a significant change that I believe we all will welcome.
In the meantime, our sky will become mostly cloudy tonight. There’s the possibility for a shower but nothing heavy. The clouds will help slow the cooling and overnight temps won’t be near as cold as they have been lately. We’re only dropping into the mid 40s for lows. You certainly will feel the change in temps Tuesday. We’re expecting mid 60s to return. Sixty degrees is the average and we will be above that and climbing through the week.
Precipitation chances will increase as the week progresses. There will be numerous rounds coming as several disturbances work across the area throughout the week. We expect thunderstorms to be imbedded in the rain. The Storm Prediction Center does have a marginal risk for severe storms over southwest Alabama for Wednesday. Rainfall potential will be fairly significant with 2 to 4 inches and some spots a little higher Wednesday through Thursday. We could even add to that with additional rainfall Friday and Saturday. Definitely keep the rain gear handy this week.
Looks like we will see the parade of rain/storms come to an end late Saturday. This will set us up for drier conditions to return Sunday into early next week. High pressure will return and that should help keep us rainfree for a bit. Temps will drop slightly but high temps will hover around the average of 60 degrees.
