LET’S GET YOU OUT THE DOOR THIS MORNING. THERE ARE A FEW SHOWERS AROUND, ESPECIALLY IN EAST ALABAMA. THEY SHOULDN’T LAST TERRIBLY LONG, THOUGH. OF COURSE, WE’VE GOT WIDESPREAD CLOUDS AROUND, BUT THOSE SHOULD BREAK UP AND WE’LL HAVE SOME SUNSHINE IN A LOT OF LOCATIONS TODAY. AND THAT WILL HELP TO BOOST US INTO THE MID AND UPPER 70S MORE OF THE SAME ON SATURDAY. SATURDAY I THINK WE’LL START OFF PRETTY CLOUDY. NOT MUCH RAIN THROUGH THE DAY TOMORROW WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES EXPECTED TO BE IN THE UPPER 70S. MAYBE EVEN CLOSE TO 80 IN A FEW LOCATIONS. AND THEN ON SUNDAY, HERE COMES A FRONT AND THAT WILL BRING US SOME SHOWERS, ESPECIALLY LATE SATURDAY NIGHT AND THROUGH THE FIRST PART OF THE DAY ON SUNDAY. BUT WOW, LOOK AT THAT WIDE RANGE IN TEMPERATURES ON SUNDAY. WITH THAT FRONT KIND OF CAMPING OUT ACROSS CENTRAL ALABAMA, IT WILL BE MUCH, MUCH COOLER TO THE NORTH AND WARMER TO THE SOUTH. NOT A LOT OF RAIN ON MONDAY, BUT BOY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY WE WILL HAVE SEVERAL ROUNDS OF RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS, PERHAPS TWO COULD EVEN BE A FEW STRONG STORMS DURING THAT TIME FRAME. BUT IN ADDITION TO THAT, LOOK AT THE THE RAIN TOTALS WITH THOSE THOSE THREE DAYS SOMEWHERE TOTALING MAYBE 3 TO 5IN. BACK TO YOU AND WELCOME BAC
