More Record Temperatures were recorded yesterday. But a big chill down is on the way. Hello, I'm Lauren Whisenhunt.
Central Alabama had another record setting day on Tuesday regarding temperatures. For example, Tuscaloosa had a record high of 79, which surpassed the 1979 record of 75 degrees. Birmingham had a record high of 78, which was two degrees higher than the previous record set way back in 1931. Anniston also had a record high of 77, which beat the old record of 73 set back in 1971.
Yes, it's still December, but it definitely doesn't feel like it across Central Alabama. Typically this time of year, daytime highs are near 57 with overnight lows around 36. We will continue to have temperatures well above normal for one more day.
Today will be quite warm with highs in the upper 70s. Additionally, there will be a 30 percent chance of showers.
By Thursday, a cold front will slowly slide our way giving us a better chance of rain. This cold front will also allow much colder air to build back into central Alabama by the weekend.
By the end of the week into the weekend, temperatures will be much more typical for this time of year with daytime highs in the 50's on Saturday. Saturday may also be quite wet as another shot of moisture comes our way. For Sunday, high temperatures may not get out of the 40s. How's that for a temperature turn-around! It will finally start to feel like December.
An FYI: From the National Hurricane Center, a late season tropical storm named Olga has developed. Here is the latest information:
OLGA IS MOVING TOWARD THE WEST NEAR 19 MPH...31 KM/HR...AND THIS MOTION IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS. THIS MOTION SHOULD BRING THE CENTER OF OLGA NEAR THE SOUTHERN COAST OF EASTERN CUBA TODAY. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS HAVE DECREASED TO NEAR 45 MPH...70 KM/HR...WITH HIGHER GUSTS. SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES THAT OLGA HAS BECOME DISORGANIZED...AND FURTHER WEAKENING IS FORECAST DURING THE NEXT 24 HOURS. OLGA COULD WEAKEN TO A TROPICAL DEPRESSION LATER TODAY.
