Here is an update of Alabama weather at of 1:25 this afternoon…
Blue skies abound across Alabama this afternoon. Temperatures have warmed nicely in the dry air left in the wake of yesterday’s airmass change. Dewpoints are near 30 degrees across Alabama. Air temperatures are in the middle 60s to near 70. Tuscaloosa checked in with 70F this hour. Winds are out of the WSW at 8-16, pccasioanlly gusting to around 20 mph.
A reinforcing shot of cooler air will roll into the state tonight. With the advection of cooler air into the state on Sunday, tempertaures will struggle to get out of the 50s in some spots. Some cloudiness will also accompany the new airmass tonight into Sunday morning. Good coverage of low clouds extends as far south as Cape Girardeau MO this afternoon. It will be interesting to see how far south this cloudiness can go, and whether it will erode before getting to North Alabama.
There may be some frost tonight with temperatures averaging 35-37 across t he area, but clouds or wind could limit the formation. A few spots could register a light freeze. As high pressure settles in Sunday night, calm and clear conditions will allow for widespread readings in the lower to middle 30s, and frost will be more likely.
A look at the morning run of the GFS still shows an active weather week ahead, with showers Tuesday rain and storms Wednesday, another round of rain and storms on Thursday, rain ending Friday, but some light rain and blustery, cooler conditions for Saturday.
Monday will feature a warm up back into the 60s.
