Published 10:28 pm Thursday, February 8, 2024

Our wet weekend begins Friday, especially in northern Alabama where showers are likely Friday morning. We’ll have a slight chance of rain across the rest of the state with highs in the 60s to 70.

We’re not expecting another sunny day until Tuesday.

We’ll have plenty of gusty wind throughout the next few days and nights, too. Friday, we could have wind gusts up to 25 miles per hour across much of the state.

A thunderstorm is possible pretty much anytime this weekend, but Sunday looks to be the day with the best chances.
