Cool Temperatures in the Forecast

Keep the umbrella handy and also grab the jacket! Hello, I'm Meteorologist, Lauren Whisenhunt.

For Wednesday, a cut-off upper low will continue to spin over the deep south today, and as it does so, it will draw moisture into Central Alabama. An upper level low is a cold pocket of air in the upper atmosphere. It will keep our atmosphere unstable allowing for ample cloud cover to form. Expect off and on showers and drizzle for much of the day. Because of the cloud cover and cool northwest winds, temperatures will struggle to reach 60 degrees during the afternoon.
Tonight will be chilly with lows dipping to the mid 40s under mostly cloudy skies and a chance for showers.

Thursday also looks quite cool with mostly cloudy conditions and highs only in the mid to upper 50s. There will also be a continued chance of scattered showers.

For the remainder of the work week. We have a slight chance of a shower early on Friday, otherwise skies will clear out for the rest of the day just in time for the high school football games Friday night. Right now, the weekend looks spectacular for outdoor activities with mostly sunny skies and afternoon temperatures in the lower 70s and over night lows in the upper 40s.
