Weather Disco - An Average Day

It's a chilly start to your workweek. Finally it feels like the Holiday Season. Hello, I'm Meteorologist, Charles Daniel.

High Pressure will continue to control our weather today. Expect a mix of sun and clouds with temperatures near normal by the afternoon hours. We will start the day cold with readings in the mid to upper 20s. Highs will top out in the mid 50s, again, very close to normal for this time of year. What continues to be far below normal is our amount of rainfall this year. The exceptional drought persists with central Alabama needing between 25 and 30 inches of rain in order to catch up! It will take MANY significant precipitation events to alleviate this devastating drought. Of course, we will accept any rain we can get.

As a Cold Front approaches on Wednesday, we could see a few scattered showers in the afternoon. Clouds will be on the increase through the day. The Front will help produce showers and perhaps a thunderstorm or two on Thursday with the aid of an upper level disturbance. We may have yet another shot of rain by the weekend.

We will keep you posted on that plus update you on your Christmas forecast on CBS 42 and on wiat.com!
