Chief Meteorologist Dave Nussbaum says we will have heavy rain and a few storms tonight into Friday morning. Then we dry out by the afternoon with gusty winds. The weekend will be pleasant with sunshine and mild temperatures.

Rain and even some thunderstorms to end the workweek, but just in time for the weekend, it dries out nicely. Above average temperatures are in the forecast through next week. Temperatures are starting off in the mid to upper 50s Friday with clouds and some patchy fog.

Friday is an Impact Day as rain spreads across Alabama during the morning commute. In addition to the wet roads, winds will also be gusty. Sign up for our Newsletters We use the term “Impact” when the weather will cause some disruption to your daily routines.
