FIRST ALERT: Another cold start Wednesday morning, showers in the afternoon

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WBRC) - FIRST ALERT FOR SHOWERS TOMORROW AFTERNOON: You can expect another chilly and dry evening around the state, with temperatures tumbling into the 50s after sunset. The dry weather will continue through the morning drive time tomorrow, but clouds will be on the increase by late morning. Moisture will start to overrun the region, with the possibility of showers impacting the area as early as the afternoon, especially across northwest areas. This won’t be heavy rain; however, we could have a steady light rain at times to the north. No storms are expected.

The chance for showers will spread east throughout tomorrow evening and overnight. Rain amounts should remain light as a cloudy, chilly, and damp setup develops. Forecast guidance has lessened the chances for rain on Thursday, but we will continue to mention the possibility of showers, especially for the early morning. We could catch some breaks Thursday afternoon, with lingering clouds, and highs only in the low to mid 50s.

THE END OF THE WEEK: The clouds may linger through most of Friday as a disturbance moves north, across Georgia. I can’t rule out a stray shower to the far southeast. Otherwise, dry weather is expected for the day and for High School Football in the evening. Highs will remain in the 50s, with lows in the 40s Saturday morning. The sky will clear this weekend, with highs in the 60s, nice weather for tailgating and College Football on Saturday! I still can’t rule out some patchy frost to the far north and northeast this weekend as morning lows tumble into the mid to upper 30s.

I’ll have more specifics on the weekend forecast in First Alert Weather every six minutes on WBRC FOX6 News.
