As we head toward the noon hour, temperatures are climbing into the 50s across Central Alabama.
Skies are clear with near total sunshine.
Winds are picking up out of the southeast, and this is a precursor to changes that are ahead in Alabama’s weather.
Clouds will thicken late this afternoon, into the afternoon. Temperatures will fall into the lower 40s generally this evening before they stabilize, or maybe come back up a degree or two. Some light showers will develop overnight as moisture levels increase.
There has been some concern that temperatures might get cold enough for some wintry precipitation, but that looks extremely remote. We will be watching for the possibility that temperatures could get a little colder during the early evening hours before clouds move in, mainly over eastern sections.
There certainly could be a little sleet, especially on the onset of the precipitation overnight, but no problems are anticipated.
Expect a few showers tomorrow, but the best rain chances will be Saturdaynight and Monday night.
