Good morning!  Today is dry and mostly sunny.  Lower 50’s. Showers and storms become likely bu Sunday night. There is a Marginal Severe Risk mainly from I-65 westward. Sharply colder air will follow the storms.  Monday will be a day of falling temperatures. Unusually  Cold Arctic air which will dominate next week, especially Tuesday through Friday. There are still question marks about late next week.  It’s possible parts of the state could see some kind of Wintry precipitation Friday or Friday night, especially in North Alabama.  But there are still much uncertainty.  Details and forecast confidence remain low. Not worth worrying about now.
