High temperatures will be slightly above normal through Wednesday (mid/upper 80s) followed by more fall-like temperatures from late week through the weekend (70s to low/mid 80s). Parts of central Alabama will have a low to medium chance (20-50%) for showers & storms some days this week. Forecast rainfall amounts not expected to provide much relief to drought conditions.

The latest Drought Monitor update shows abnormally dry and drought conditions expanding. Extreme Drought (D3) has developed in our southwestern counties. While a few days this week will offer isolated to scattered showers and a few thunderstorms, forecast rainfall amounts are too low to offer much relief.

Showers over western and northwestern areas. Lows in the upper 60s most areas.

Rain chances today will be highest across the northwestern half of the forecast area as a cold front approaches. A thunderstorm or two is possible during the afternoon. High temperatures will be in the 80s with partly to mostly cloudy skies.

Rain chances remain highest across the northern half of the area tonight. Lows will in the the mid to upper 60s in most areas.

A cold front will pass through the area by Wednesday, with highs in the upper 70s to low 80s north and mid 80s south. Showers may develop during the afternoon, especially south of the I-85 corridor.
