Feels chilly out there this afternoon. Blame it on the wedge.

A high pressure area is building southward along the Atlantic Seaboard while a low pressure area is centered along the Louisiana-Arkansas border.

This…a brisk easterly flow sets up. Those cool temperatures you feel here in Alabama this afternoon came from the Carolinas and Georgia. Temperatures in those areas are mostly in the 50s with east winds at times over 20 mph.

Persistent rain over West Central Alabama with these reports as of 1 pm:
0.88 at Tuscaloosa Airport
0.33 Bessemer
0.38 Southwest Lamar County
