Cooler Days Ahead
RAIN ENDS, TURNING COLDER: The rain will come to an end during the early part of today, with it completely out of the area well before noon. On the backside of the system, colder, drier air moves into the state and that will cause clouds to decrease throughout the remainder of the day. Our winds shift out of the northwest and strong cold air advection will keep temperatures from rising much. Highs will be in the lower 60s for most of us, but with winds out of the northwest at 10-20 MPH, it will feel much colder. With a clearing sky and relaxing winds, lows will drop down into the mid 30s by early tomorrow morning.
THURSDAY/FRIDAY: After the cold start to our Thursday, the rest of the day will be cool and dry with a sunny sky; Thursday’s high will be in the low 60s. The sky will stay sunny Friday, and after another morning with temperatures near freezing, highs will rise into the mid to upper 60s.
THE ALABAMA WEEKEND: Another upper-level feature will cross the Gulf Coast states late Friday into Saturday, and we are going to see increasing clouds, and the threat of a few scattered showers Saturday, but nothing heavy or widespread, and the best rain chances look to be closer to the Gulf Coast. This wave exits exits Saturday evening, and highs Saturday will be in the 60s. Then, Sunday looks simply splendid, with more sun than clouds, and highs well into those those sensational 70s.
INTO NEXT WEEK: Monday will be dry and warm with 70s expected. Our next decent chance of rain looks to arrive Tuesday night into Wednesday. Model data suggest storms will be possible, but certainly too early to determine if severe weather will be an issue. Then, dry and mild weather is expected for the latter half of the week.
Have a great day!
