Good Morning! Unlike last week, it’s smooth sailing this week. No storm systems, no rain through Saturday. Today will be sunny and slightly warmer. A weak front will sweep through the state tonight. Northeast Alabama could see a few brief showers with this front. For the rest of us it’s a “dry” front. Wednesday will breezy and be a few degrees cooler. The warmer days will be Friday & Saturday as the mercury heads for the middle 60’s. Next chance of rain will be on Sunday, possibly arriving as early as Saturday night. Here’s my brief forecast discussion.
TODAY: Sunny and a little milder. High 61. Daytime winds SW 6 to 12 mph. Increasing clouds, breezy tonight. Low 41. North winds 10 to 15 gusting to 20 mph.

NEXT FEW DAYS: This week will be dry and storm-free through Saturday, as January ends and February begins. Temperatures will fluctuate a little bit up and down. We’ll be near the freeze mark Thursday morning. Warmer Friday and Saturday as the mercury recovers to the mid 60’s. That’s a bit above normal. Next chance of rain will be on Sunday, possibly arriving as early as Saturday night.
