Look at the differences in dew point across Alabama this evening. From 34F at Muscle Shoals to 67F at Evergreen.

The warm front lies somewhere between Evergeen and Montgomery tonight. It will continue northward, bringing warm and moist air northward.

Showers are pushing northward in advance of the front. They are heaviest over the western half of the state. Moderate to occasionally heavy showers extend across Lamar, Marion, northern Walker, Cullman and Blount Counties.

Temperatures are in the 50s across Central Alabama. That is about where they will stay overnight.

The showers will continue through the evening, pushing into the Tennessee Valley. Dense fog will develop behind the front, reducing visibilities overnight and into the morning.

Fog and clouds will greet the day on Friday as you return presents. But the sun will break through, and the afternoon should be fairly nice with mild temperatures, a breezy south wind and muggy humidities. It will feel like Spring.
