A little temporary clearing in the Birmingham area has allowed for a beautful sunset this evening. But on the western horizon, the thicker cloud deck is poised to move in from the southwest. Clouds are thick over Mississippi, northern Louisiana and southern Arkansas.
A few light precipitation echoes were showing up over western and Middle Tennessee.
Temperatures were in the 40s over Central Alabama. Oernight readings will be in the lower 40s over western sections. Some eastern sections might drop into the 30s if skies remain clear long enough.
Look for a brrezy southeast flow to develop on Sunday. Clouds should be fairly thick on Sunday, and as moisture levels rise, we could see a shower in the afternoon. Those will be spotty however. Rain chances will be on the rise by Monday morning. They will be high through the day.
The frontal system responsible for the Monday rains will settle into Central Alabama before retreating to the north on Tuesday. Look for highs around 70 on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. With the proximity of the front, there could be a shower or storm at various points during the period. Look for a better chance of showers and storms on Friday, as the front takes another run at the state.
