We will continue to see above average temperatures today and tomorrow, with cooler air by the end of the week. Hello, I'm Meteorologist, Lauren Whisenhunt.
For Today, we will continue to have above normal temperatures with highs in the mid 70s. Typically this time of year afternoon highs are in the mid-60's. A weak cold front will approach the northern half of the state and then it will stall. We have a slight chance for showers during the afternoon and evening hours today, but most of us will remain dry. Across central Alabama, we are more than 20 inches below our normal amount of rain, thus keeping us in an exceptional drought.
A better chance of rain will come with a secondary cold front that will move through late Wednesday night into early Thursday morning. Out ahead of the front, we have a 40 percent chance for showers and thunderstorms Wednesday afternoon with highs in the mid to upper 70s.
Wednesday night, as the front moves through, it will bring a 50 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Some of these storms could be strong at times. Stay with CBS 42 and we'll definitely keep you posted on this situation. Since this front will move through during the overnight, there won't be any significant instability from daytime heating. Nonetheless, we are in the middle of our fall severe weather season. Thus, we will keep you informed if any of these storms threaten with severe potential.
By Thursday afternoon, much cooler and drier air will return to the CBS 42 viewing area behind this cold front with brisk northerly winds. Daytime highs will be in the low 60's.
