Gradual Clearing New Year’s Afternoon; Cooler New Year’s Night
The New Year’s morning severe weather threat is over. Storms with any potential for severe weather are now in central Georgia and moving away from our area. However, clouds and scattered showers remain widespread across our area. However, the sky may gradually clear west to east this afternoon. Sunshine or not, temperatures likely top out in the low to mid 70s. Temperatures cool overnight as clouds continue to clear, with lows in the mid to upper 40s.
Saturday features some sunshine early, but clouds increase through the afternoon. Scattered showers are also possible during the latter half of the day, especially across southeast Alabama. Saturday won’t be as warm, with highs only in the upper 50s to low 60s. Saturday night lows fall into the 30s as clouds clear once more. Sunday looks mainly sunny and dry but cool, with highs in the upper 50s. Sunday night lows fall into the low to mid 30s.
The first full week of 2021 begins sunny and mild, with highs in the low 60s and lows in the 30s Monday and Tuesday. Clouds increase a bit on Wednesday, in advance of the next front and round of rain next Thursday. Since temperatures only warm into the low 60s (if that) on Thursday, severe weather looks unlikely this time around. That front and perhaps most of the clouds as well clear our area next Friday, with highs possibly in the low 60s.
