Good Morning! We have quite a warm weekend underway. Today we’ll be close to 90. There were a few showers on the radar yesterday. And, even a few clusters of showers in the overnight hours. Some towns got lucky.
Showers and a few thundershowers will once again only be widely scattered in nature today. Most towns will get skipped. Get ready for hotter days in the week ahead. We’ll be in the low 90’s Monday, but expect some mid 90’s by the middle and later part of the week. Tiny rain chance Monday, but mostly dry in the week ahead. Couple of stronger storms possible Monday in SE Alabama.
