From James Spann and the ABC 33/40 Weather Blog:

COLD START: Temperatures are in the 20s over North Alabama early this morning, with low to mid 30s over the southern counties with a clear sky. Expect a good supply of sunshine today with highs in the 50s and 60s right at average values for January 27. Birmingham’s average high today is 55. The weather will stay dry tomorrow with a partly to mostly sunny sky; seasonal temperatures continue.

RAIN RETURNS: Clouds return tomorrow night, and Sunday will be wet with periods of rain and possibly a thunderstorm statewide. There is no surface based instability, and no risk of severe storms. Rain amounts Sunday will be around one inch for most places; temperatures will be generally in the 50s.

NEXT WEEK: Showers could linger into Monday morning, but a decent part of the day should be dry. Then, we will deal with periods of rain Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday thanks to stalled surface front nearby. Some flooding issues could develop in this wet pattern before the rain ends, but no severe storms are expected with a cool, stable airmass holding in place. Drier, colder air returns Friday with a clearing sky. Highs for most places will be in the 50s during the week
