Rainfall will intensify until Friday evening

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WBRC) – Good morning!

NEXT 24 HOURS: We continue to monitor the area of ​​low pressure over the northwest Gulf. This area may become more organized as it moves east.

While the center of this system will remain south of central Alabama, it will bring clouds with scattered showers spreading north over the next 24 hours. Expect scattered showers throughout the day Thursday and more widespread rain Friday. The clouds will also help keep high temperatures Thursday in the low 80s.

NEXT BIG THING: There is a chance of some rain showers on Friday for the start of the high school football season, but the rain is not expected to end until late Friday evening.

Once the rain subsides, drier, cooler air will take over as a cold front moves in. Skies will clear up on Saturday, with highs in the low 80s.

Sunday morning temperatures will drop into the low 50s in parts of our region. That fall flavor will continue through Sunday and Monday, with temperatures again in the low 50s. Dry weather is currently forecast to continue through the middle of next week.
