Rain is about over for the north third of the state including Greater Birmingham.
A cold front (well, shall we say cool front) was bringing dry air to the northern counties this afternoon, The dew point has fallen as low as 59 over the extreme north.
Along and just south of the front, a line of showers and a few thunderstorms developed over West Central Alabama this afternoon. At 1:40 pm, the line extended from near Centrevile westward to Greensboro and Livingston. Moving toward the SE.
Lighter showers were over the East Central part of the state.
The weather has cleared in most areas north of Birmingham and temperatures were nothing like recent sizzlers. Instead, the ole thermometer was hanging very near the 80-degree mark.
Don't be surprised to hear of some temperatures in the upper 50s by morning in the normally cooler valleys of North Alabama.
You will also feel a noticeable drop in humidity Friday and Saturday. In fact that is being enjoyed by Tennessee Valley people this afternoon. The temperature was only about 80 in the Huntsville area, with dew point near 60 and north winds gusting to 24 mph.
Feels almost like a change-in season compared to our persistent heat lately. Causes people like me to start dreaming of October.
