Here are more unofficial Cooperative Observer reports regarding yesterdays deluge: Centreville-2.70”, Livingston-3.44”, Clanton-1.70”, Jasper-1.96”, Calera-1.44”, Cordova-1.59”.
Today has been a much different day, as it has been dry, breezy, and cooler. The low clouds have been tough to budge even though we’ve gotten some rays of sunshine. Tonight the sky will clear out nicely and since we’re cool already, there is a good chance many spots will wake up with temperatures in the upper 40s early tomorrow morning. Our official low is for 50-degrees in Tuscaloosa tomorrow. Even though the morning will be on the cool side a greater supply of sunshine will warm us to near 80-degrees by tomorrow afternoon. Tomorrow night the sky will be fair, with lows in the middle 50s.
A disturbance dropping in from the north will bring an increase in clouds for Sunday, with isolated showers and thunderstorms. This fast moving feature should depart the region on Monday, with mostly sunny skies returning. Tuesday also looks like a nice day with afternoon temperatures expected to warm into the middle 80s. The warm daytime temperatures by next Wednesday and Thursday will help to spark some isolated showers and thunderstorms, so we’ve kept a small 20% chance of rain in our forecast. Otherwise, for a good portion of the area we should enjoy a nice stretch of weather for the first half of next week.
