A strong cold front will move through the area later today and bring us a good chance for showers and thunderstorms. Hello, I'm Meteorologist, Lauren Whisenhunt.
For Today, temperatures will continue to be above average with highs in the mid 70s. Typically this time of year, afternoon highs are near 66 degrees. A strong cold front will approach the CBS 42 viewing area tonight into early tomorrow morning. This front will bring us another chance of some much needed rainfall. Anywhere from a quarter to a half an inch of rainfall is expected. Across central Alabama, we are more than 20 inches below our normal amount of rain, thus keeping us in an exceptional drought.
Out ahead of this cold front, expect a 40 percent chance of scattered showers or thunderstorms during the day, especially during the afternoon hours with southwest winds increasing to 10 and 15 mph.
A better chance of rain will come as the front crosses central Alabama tonight and pushes a line of thunderstorms our way. This line of storms may have some potential to produce strong to severe thunderstorms. We will certainly monitor this situation carefully tonight and keep you updated on CBS-42 and wiat.com.
By tomorrow afternoon, much cooler and drier air will return to Central Alabama behind this cold front with brisk northerly winds 10-20 mph. Daytime highs will only be in the mid 50's with overnight lows falling into the 30's Friday morning.
To end our work week it will be chilly on Friday with plenty of sunshine throughout the day. Highs will be in the upper 50s Friday afternoon.
