Saturday
The low that brought us the cold front and rain that moved through over the past two days will be stationed near the Great Lakes. That means for us that we’ll start off with some clouds over the northern parts of Central Alabama with the southern half having sunny skies. Skies will clear out during the day and highs will reach the upper 40s to the mid-50s. Clouds look to return during the late-night and overnight hours ahead of the next disturbance that will begin to start taking shape out to our west. Lows will be in the 30s.
Sunday
Cooler temperatures are not going anywhere for your Sunday, as clouds continue to move in from the west as a disturbance continues to gather strength off to our southwest. Rain chances will begin to enter the forecast during the late-night and overnight hours as there will be a decent chance of showers across the area. Afternoon highs will continue to be in the upper 40s to the mid-50s.
Monday
Those shower chances will be moving out of the area during the morning hours on Monday and clouds will begin to slowly clear out as well. We will be slightly warmer with highs reaching a more seasonal lower 50s to near 60 degrees across the area.
Tuesday
Another disturbance forms out to our west and will be moving in our direction on Tuesday, but we’ll stay dry through at least the late-night hours. Shower chances will begin to move in after midnight, but they will be small at this point. Afternoon highs will be in the lower 50s to near 60 degrees.
Wednesday
The low associated with the disturbance looks to be located over the western parts of the Florida panhandle which will continue to keep shower chances in our forecast for Wednesday. Once again, shower chances look to be small at this point. Afternoon highs will be in the lower 50s to near 60 degrees.
Thursday
Finally, we get a chance to be dry for a day or two, starting on Thursday. We’ll have plenty of sunshine with only one or two passing clouds. Highs will be in the mid-50s to the lower 60s.
Friday
Another disturbance starts heading our way on Friday and unfortunately, it looks like we will not get to make it through the day before showers and maybe a thunderstorm or two move in during the late afternoon and evening hours. Rain looks to be likely through the late night and overnight hours as a surface low will be moving through the northern parts of the area. At this point, rain may not leave the area until late on Saturday. Highs on Friday will be in the mid-50s to the lower 60s.
