Good Morning! Temperatures will start to moderate a little bit today. We’re still below normal, but temperatures will moderate to the mid 60’s by Friday afternoon. But changes are ahead as a storm system and cold front approaches. Scattered showers and thunderstorms arrive Saturday afternoon, and become likely by Saturday night. Strong to severe storms are possible especially in West Alabama. The cool front passes out of the area before lunchtime Sunday, ending the rain threat. After the weekend storm system, look at the COLD air that funnels in. Monday looks quite chilly. Here’s my brief forecast discussion.
