Things are quiet for the most part on this Sunday morning in the weather department….for now…

A weakening area of showers and storms is moving out of Northeast Alabama. It is associated with an upper level disturbance and warm front. Scattered showers are still falling in areas north of I-20.

Rain is over South Alabama. It is associated with a surface trough that extends up into the Carolinas.

A strong upper level trough is to the west of Alabama. It will sweep eastward today, working on the warm and moist airmass that is in place across Alabama to cause numerous showers and storms. There will be a lull until about noon, but then they should begin developing from the west.

There will be the chance of severe storms this afternoon and evening across Central Alabama. Widespread severe weather is not anticipated. In fact, the SPC has dropped the slight risk outlook for North and Central Alabama that was in effect for today from yesterday’s day two.

A cold front will sweep all the activity out of here tonight and chillier temperatures will be the next story. Look for widespread 40s Tuesday morning, with a few readings in the 30s in the normally colder locations.
