Just before 11 this morning, a cold front was moving southeastward across Northwest Alabama. It extended from north of Cullman to south of Columbus, Mississippi.

Ahead of the front, skies are mostly sunny. Behind the front, there were more clouds. A few showers had formed on radar along or just behind the front over Franklin County.

The airmass over Alabama is still moist and relatively unstable. The front will likely trigger showers and storms as it moves southeastward. It may make it southeast of Birmingham before the main action begins. It appears that the further south and east you go today, you will find better chances for scattered storms.

It will be hot today with temperatures rising into the lower 90s.

On Sunday, drier air will invade the state and our rain chances will go to near zero. Readings may go up a degree or two tomorrow.
