As we have reached 11:10 am on this Friday morning, it looks like all of the shower and snow flurry activity has mainly come to an end across Central Alabama. There may be a few light flurries that may not be showing up on radar up in the mountainous regions in the northeastern parts of the area.
Temperatures as of the 11:00 am roundup were in the mid-30s and mid-40s across the area. Haleyville is the cold spot at 34 degrees with cloudy skies. Montgomery is the warm spot at 44 degrees with mostly sunny skies. Birmingham was at 38 degrees with cloudy skies.
WEATHER FOR THE REST OF YOUR FRIDAY
Skies should become mostly sunny by the mid to late afternoon hours. Temperatures will stay rather chilly with highs topping out in the 40s across the area. Skies will be mostly clear to partly cloudy tonight and through the overnight hours with lows dropping into the lower 30s to the lower 40s across the area.
THE CENTRAL ALABAMA WEEKEND
On Saturday, a small and quick-moving disturbance may bring a few light showers across the area, but the lower levels of the atmosphere will be dry, so most of that may evaporate before making it to the surface. Skies will be partly to mostly cloudy and highs will be in the lower 50s to the lower 60s. The chance of rain will be less than 20%.
Much of the day on Sunday will be partly to mostly sunny across the area, but clouds look to move in late. Rain chances will start to rise after midnight as the next cold front approaches setting up a period of unsettled weather for the workweek. Highs will be in the 60s throughout the area.
