Another Rainy, Dreary Day

Well, it has been another sleeping day here in northwest Alabama. A low pressure area and associated cold front has produced widespread light to moderate rain across all of north Alabama. Here at my location the rain is finally coming to a end. My total rainfall for the day stands at 0.90". I'm still awaiting the arrival of the cold front. By looks of radar and current surface maps, it is just to my west. Temps drop off into the upper 40s as you go northwestward to Jackson, TN.

The rain will move out of the area for everybody later this evening, but cloudy skies will stay with us the remainder of the night. Expect low temps by morning to be in the upper 40s to lower 50s across the area.

Friday will start out cloudy, but we will see clearing skies as the morning progresses. Afternoon highs will be on the cool side, in the lower 60s.



It will be cool for the Friday night football games tomorrow night, so take a jacket with you. The temps will drop rapidly after sunset with clear skies. Look for temps to be in the upper 50s for kickoff, dropping into the upper 40s to lower 50s by the end of the game. Lows by Saturday morning will be in the upper 30s to near 40 in most locations.

We will see a warmup on Saturday with partly cloudy skies before the next front moves in on Sunday. Highs Saturday will be near 70º, with lows Saturday night in the lower 50s. I did include a slight chance of showers on Sunday with the passage of the next front. Moisture looks limited at this point, but know Sunday's rain chances are subject to change. The front that moves through on Sunday will be stronger than the one moving through this evening, and high temps on Monday might not reach 60º in some spots. Monday night and Tuesday night look to be cold, with lows in the 35-40 degree range. Of course the colder locations like Black Creek in Etowah county (hey Vic!) will likely be in the upper 20s and lower 30s with frost.

Here is a look at the 7 Day Planner from yours truly....


Stay tuned to the forecast as things are subject to change with the cold front moving in on Sunday. Temps may not be as cold as I'm forecasting, but then again they may be a bit colder depending on the strength of the storm system.

Everyone have a great night and I will post another update in the morning.
