Today will be a beautiful November day with plenty of sunshine and pleasant high temps in the upper 60s to lower 70s. The light northeasterly breeze keeps our humidity levels much lower compared to the past several days. Skies stay partly cloudy overnight with lows staying a bit milder in the upper 40s to lower 50s.

Cloud cover will continue to push in through the morning into the afternoon with cooler high temperatures in the low to middle 60s. Most of the scattered afternoon rainfall will fall west of I-65. Today is a WAFF 48 First Alert Weather Day beginning at 7pm for the threats of heavy rainfall and gusty gradient winds over 40 miles per hour.

Rain showers depart to the east by mid-morning with slow clearing of the clouds into the afternoon. Highs today will be near average in the low to middle 60s with northwesterly winds gusting over 15 miles per hour on occasion. Skies stay partly cloudy overnight with morning lows dipping into the low to middle 40s by daybreak Friday.

Abundant sunshine is in the forecast for today with near average high temperatures in the upper 50s to lower 60s. The weekend forecast is looking great for mid-November standards with no rain, plenty of sunshine and comfortable high temperatures in the upper 60s to lower 70s for Saturday and Sunday.

A mix of sun and clouds are in the forecast for today with the southeasterly breeze boosting high temperatures into the low to middle 70s, very warm for mid-November. Wind gusts between 15 to 20 miles per hour will start to increase by the afternoon into the evening.

Scattered to numerous rain showers and storms will be expected through roughly lunchtime before becoming more spotty in nature into the afternoon. We are not forecasting any severe weather today, but a few isolated storms can produce frequent lightning and brief gusty winds. Rainfall totals through tonight should be in the 0.5 to 1 inch range.

Morning temperatures are mild in the low to middle 60s, but this will be the warmest we will be for the entire day. Northwest winds are going to be blustery with occasional wind gusts up to 30 miles per hour. The early clouds start to erode by mid to late morning with temperatures starting to fall quickly into the afternoon.

Ample sunshine is in the forecast for today with much cooler high temperatures behind yesterday’s cold front, high temperatures will struggle to reach the upper 40s to lower 50s. The biggest concern today will be the blustery northwest wind sustained between 10 to 20 miles per hour with occasional wind gusts to 40 mph. Skies remain clear overnight, and lows should fall into the low to middle 30s, some isolated frost is expected in some sheltered areas.

Today will be breezy with wind gusts between 20 to 30 miles per hour through the afternoon. Expect ample sunshine through the day with high temperatures staying cool in the upper 40s to lower 50s. The pesky winds should finally die down after sunset leaving us clear and cold overnight, morning lows will fall between 30 to 33 degrees by daybreak Saturday.

Cloud cover will quickly increase through the morning into the afternoon with warmer high temperatures reaching the upper 60s to lower 70s. A cold front will push in later this evening and bring scattered rain showers and isolated thunderstorms across the Tennessee Valley.
