Temperatures are in the 50s early this morning across Central Alabama, ranging from 52F at Gadsden to 56F at Tuscaloosa at just before 6 a.m. Dewpoints are in the lower 50s.
A little light ground fog has formed in some spots. Visibilities were not being restricted. There was some dense fog in coastal sections, where the visibilities at Fairhope and Gulf Shores were less than 1/4 mile.
Satellite photos showed partly cloudy skies over North Central Alabama, with clear skies to the south. Thicker clouds were in Tennessee, behind a cold front that was sagging into North Alabama at this hour. There is not much difference in temperature or dew point behind the front, but winds do shift around to the north.
Not much in the way of showers along this weather feature right now, but with the heating of the day, showers could develop, mainly from the I-20 corridor south we think. Still, rain chances are only in the one in five range. Can’t rule out a storm as well. Still, amounts will be light and spotty, unless a storm should get going somewhere.
Highs today will be in the 76-80F range.
Dress comfortably if you are heading to Auburn or Tuscaloosa. Take a light rain poncho in the car and check the latest before heading to the stadium.
The front will be in South Alabama by tonight, setting the stage for slightly cooler conditions starting tomorrow.
