Just minutes from a new Weatehr Xtreme Video from Dr. Brian Peters on this wonderful Saturday morning…
No better sound than the gentle patter of raindrops on the roof and a brightly colored radar to the west of us promising a gentle soaking for most of the area today.
An upper low is just north of Vicksburg on the Mississippi River this morning with an attendant surface low. A warm, soupy airmass is over Alabama and the Deep South. Light to moderate rain covers much of North Central Alabama with heavier rain entering western sections of the state. That heavier rain extends all the way back to Greenwood, Mississippi. Rainfall amounts will average between one and two inches today. It could be heavy at times, but no real problems are expected. You might have said that last night though in the Florence area, where 3.01 inches of rain was a record for the date and some flooding was reported.
Temperatures are right around 70F to start the day and should struggle to get much above 80 in the rain areas. I will back the highs back from the 86F I called for last night. Clouds are thick across Alabama and northern Mississippi, and mostly cloudy should be the style for the day.
Rain should begin to tape tonight as the low slowly passes across Alabama. We will still have slightly enhanced chances for rain tomorrow, but nothing like today…
Enjoy!
