No Afternoon Weather Xtreme Video
We are on a one-a-day video schedule through this holiday week. The afternoon videos will start back next Monday.

Conditions At 4:00 PM
Rain continues to slowly push eastward over the eastern parts of the area while the rest of Central Alabama is drying out with improving conditions. Temperatures as of the 4:00 pm roundup were in the lower 50s to the lower 60s across the area. Birmingham was at 58 degrees. The cool spot was Auburn at 53 degrees. The warm spot was Tuscaloosa at 61 degrees.

For This Evening & Tonight
Any shower activity will continue to push eastward and eventually out of the area by later tonight or just after the midnight hour, while skies will continue a slow clearing process behind those showers. Overnight lows will drop into the mid-40s to the lower 50s.

Christmas Eve
Tuesday will be an absolutely fantastic day across Central Alabama as we’ll have plenty of sunshine and above-average temperatures for early winter. As we get prepared for the arrival of Santa Claus at our homes, the weather will remain great with mostly clear skies and cool temperatures. Lows will dip into the mid to upper 40s.

Christmas Day
Wednesday will be another outstanding day across the area with mild temperatures and a mix of sun and clouds. No rain to worry about, so those kids can get outdoors and play with their new presents. Afternoon highs will be in the mid to upper 60s.
