Wednesday’s morning drive in was dry, but rain is on its way, forecasters said.
“The commute this evening is going to be a wet one,” Channel 2 Action News meteorologist Karen Minton said early Wednesday.
At 6:30 a.m., weather radar showed a band of rain stretching across Alabama, moving toward Georgia from the west.
Minton said the chance of rain is 30 percent Wednesday afternoon, with highs in the low 60s.
The chance of rain increases to 100 percent on Thursday, and it will be a cold rain, with afternoon highs only reaching the upper 40s after starting off in the mid-40s Thursday morning.
Normal highs for the first week of April are 70 degrees, the normal low 48.
A 40 percent chance of rain lingers into Friday, but the weekend “looks to be fantastic,” Minton said.
Highs on Friday will be in the low 60s, but temperatures should climb to near 70 degrees under sunny skies Saturday and Sunday. Weekend lows should be in the 40s, Minton said.
