Occasional Rain
From James Spann and the ABC 33/40 Weather Blog:
WET IS THE WORD: The combination of a stalled surface front, and an upper wave approaching from the west will bring cloudy, wet weather to Alabama over the next 36 hours. Look for periods of rain today, tonight, and tomorrow; rain amounts of around 1 inch are likely. No risk of severe storms, probably no thunder. We do note the far northern part of Alabama could get into drier air tomorrow, so places like Muscle Shoals, Athens, and Huntsville could be rain-free a decent part of the day. But, for a large majority of the state occasional rain continues.
From west to east occasional rain will fall, and in the higher areas of western Bulgaria it may snow, but precipitations will be short-lived and snow cover will not form. The lows will be from. Occasional rain to finish 2020, cold rain to start 2021 WXII 12 Greensboro-Winston-Salem. Video shows officer being crushed by violent pro-Trump mob in deadly Capitol riot.
The high today will be in the low 60s over the southern 2/3 of the state, with upper 50s to the north. Highs tomorrow will be in the 50s as the front sags southward.
THE ALABAMA WEEKEND: Saturday will bring a break in the rain; the sky will be mostly sunny with a high in the mid 50s. And, the latest model data suggests a decent part of the day Sunday will be dry as well, although a few showers could develop over the northwest part of the state late in the day. We rise into the low 60s Sunday afternoon.
STRONG STORMS MONDAY: A deep surface low will develop northwest of Alabama Monday, and a moist, unstable airmass will move up into the state with potential for temperatures to reach the low 70s. This will bring showers and thunderstorms statewide, and confidence is increasing that we will have potential for strong to possibly severe thunderstorms by afternoon. Still too early to be really specific, but just be aware that Monday could be an active weather day.

REST OF NEXT WEEK: Tuesday looks dry, but another disturbance will bring some rain to the state late Tuesday night into part of the day Wednesday. Dry weather returns Thursday and Friday. The high Tuesday will be in the low to mid 60s, followed by 50s each day for the rest of the week.
The cold front that brought weekend showers is finally on the move and will push inland this evening. Look for widespread rain today with most hours being more wet than dry. Valley temps are mild and will again be around 50 degrees this afternoon. Valley rain totals today could reach .50 inches. Snow levels will be near 5,000 feet to just below during the day and lower to 3,000 feet Monday night.
Rain at times is in the forecast through Wednesday morning. The back half of the week looks mostly dry overall.
February temperatures are expected to average near normal to a few degrees colder than average. I am tracking a dry stretch mid-month that would lead to below normal precipitation for the month after what was a very wet January with Portland rain totals around 7.00', some 2 inches above normal.
