As of this writing, our mid-week system has the potential to bring a few strong to severe storms to the area. While the best dynamics with this system looks to be near the Mississippi River Valley, we still cannot rule out damaging wind gusts up to 60 mph and isolated tornados as this complex system moves across Alabama.

Behind the front will be cooler temperatures as we welcome in December. Thursday and Friday will feature plenty of sunshine.

Afternoon highs for Thursday will be in the 50s, warming back into the 60s by Friday. Overnight lows to end the week will hover in the 30s and 40s.

The dry stretch of weather does look to continue for the start of next weekend with the forecast for Saturday continuing the stretch of sunny weather and temperatures warming into the upper to middle 60s. Overnight lows Saturday night will hover near 50 degrees with highs near 70 in the forecast for Sunday.
