Another nice day, but rain chances are coming

Another Chilly Night

After a stretch of cloudy and wet weather, the sunshine has finally reappeared.

Sunny & Cool Today

Coldest temperatures likely late Sunday night and Monday morning.  And at that time, the lack of wind and clear skies will creat the highest chance of frost formation.

A large cold Canadian air mass covers much of the eastern half of the country, and its a slow mover, and will certainly be the main weather player here through the weekend.

A chilly, damp day

Much colder air is just starting to flow into central Alabama from the north.  By morning most areas will be down to near 50, and that is just the beginning.

Rain not quite done yet as some more showers will fall tonight, especially before midnight.  And over the next two days, there is a chance of a little drizzle or a few sprinkles.  Bottom line though is that we are transitioning from a humid, rainy pattern into a cooler, drier one.

Afternoon Showers and T’storms

Get set for a real change as the atmopshere will be drying out and chilling down.  We will see the 40’s for 4 nights in a row, and we will finally get a chance for the ground to dry out some.

We have one more round of rain to get through and that comes tomorrow.  It will be followed by a prolonged period of drier, cooler weather. 

Once this rain tapers off around midday Wednesday, we will have a brief break until the next system arrives Thursday.  Beyond that one will come a genuine drying trend for Friday and the weekend.

Fortunately the end to this excessively wet pattern is not far away, as much drier air will overspread the area starting Friday.

The rain will be moving back in later today and will still be around has we head to work and school Wednesday morning.

The potential is there for more flooding Tuesday night into Wednesday as another very wet system crosses central Alabama.  Fortunately the significant drying trend is still on tap for the weekend.

Two more major systems will bring more rain this week, and probably more flooding problems.  Much drier and cooler weather will arrive before the weekend gets here.

Close to three inches of rain has already fallen across part of the area and with more rain in the forecast for this afternoon there will continue to be a flash flooding threat.

Its going to be a wet morning rush hour and this will be only “round 1” this week in terms of rain.  Two more systems will come our way during the work week.

Your umbrella will be one of your best friends this week as several systems come our way.  Each of them will be loaded with moisture, so heavy rainfall totals are likely, at least in parts of the viewing area.

An umbrella needs to be available at all times for the upcoming week.

Rain returns early in the work week, and eventually we will deal with another strong cold front that will bring more showers and storms and also usher in a much cooler air mass.

Moist pattern remains, and there is a chance of some more rain over the rest of the weekend.

Severe thunderstorms are expected for the area this afternoon and tonight.

Cold front moving our way, and with it will come showers and thunderstorms.  At least the first half of the weekend will be wet, with some showers likely to continue into Sunday.  Along with the rain will come a modest cool-down.

Before the rain gets here, unseasonably warm conditions will be the rule with temperatures at near summertime levels.  Once the rain moves in, it will cool down some.

Short sleeves and short pants are in order for the next two days.

Mainly dry weather will hold for Thursday, but a slow moving front will be the main weather maker for the weekend, and that means rain, probably starting Friday night and lasting through Saturday.

Uneventful weather through most of tomorrow, although there may be some fog later tonight and there could be a shower tomorrow afternoon.

The humidity has dropped and temperatures will feel more comfortable for this afternoon.
