A Rainy Weather Pattern Ahead
A frontal boundary is moving into the region and it stalls over our area for a few days. This will help keep us in a mainly cloudy and rainy weather pattern Thursday and Friday. A low pressure system will pass through South Alabama over the weekend. We expect more rain to move through the area. Temps are trending warmer and that’s keeping the wintry precipitation threat farther to our north.
In the meantime, we’re expecting a cloudy sky with showers working into the area tonight. Temps will only drop into the 40s for lows overnight. A cloudy and damp weather pattern is likely Thursday through Sunday. There will be periods of rain passing through the state. Temps climb into the 50s for highs and lows in the 40s. This is a big change from what we were facing earlier in the week. Model data continues to shift the warmer air northward and that keeps us out of the wintry precipitation threat for now. North Alabama is still going to be impacted by a wintry mix and travel up that way will be hazardous over the weekend.
Once we’re past the weekend rains, sunny and dry conditions settle back over us early next week. The outlook is for very cold air to settle over us. Temps will only manage the 40s for highs and lows in the upper teens to lower 20s through Tuesday.
