Great Breath of Fresh Air--8:20 pm Report

That is a very refreshing breeze blowing across the North and Central Alabama countryside this evening.

A great breath of fresh air. Makes me daydream (or nightdream) about October.

Showers have ended over the north half of the state although some scattered light drizzle lingers.

Just before 8 o'clock tonight, there was still a band of showers across the South Central and Southeast part of Alabama ahead of the cold front.

The front continues to push toward the southeast. These current temperatures tell the story:

70 in Montgomery
63 in Tuscaloosa
64 in Birmingham
57 in Huntsville, Muscle Shoals and Decatur

Brisk NW winds make it feel even cooler.

Some selected rainfall amounts today:
0.40 in Helena
0.76 on Mt. Cheaha
0.61 at Inverness
0.20 in Downtown Birmingham
0.55 at Birmingham Airport
0.49 at Anniston Airport
0.67 at Huntsville
0.72 at Mobile
1.54 at Muscle Shoals (last night and today)
