It is a crystal clear, mild and comfortable day across much of Alabama. A zone of cumulus clouds extends from Thomasville to Montgomery to Columbus, Georgia southward. This area has not received the surge of drier air yet.
The drier air has reached Central Alabama between Birmingham and Montgomery. Temperatures are in the middle 70s across the Tennessee Valley, near 80 across the I-20 corridor and in the middle 80s over South Central Alabama. A nice northerly breeze is blowing across the area.
With low dewpints, clear skies and a diminishing breeze tonight, temperatures will fall off quickly, into the 60s by 8 p.m. and 50s overnight. Some of the normally colder locations will see the upper 40s by morning.
Tomorrow promises to look a lot like today. The only fly in the ointment will be a passing disturbance to our north that may produce some clouds during the middle of the day.
It looks like we will stay dry through much of the coming week, although showers could develop in the expected easterly wedge situation. We also will be monitoring the western Caribbean and Gulf for potential tropical development.
