RADAR CHECK: Showers and storms are confined to far south Alabama and the Florida Panhandle early this morning, where a Flash Flood Watch remains in effect. The northern two-thirds of the state is getting a break from the rain as drier air has arrived. For north and central Alabama, we expect morning clouds to give way to a partly sunny afternoon. The high today will be in the mid 70s for most places. The average high for Birmingham on May 5 is 80.
Thursday will be dry during the day; with a good supply of sunshine the high will be back in the mid 70s. Then a secondary cold front will push into the state Thursday night. This front could squeeze out a few scattered showers over north Alabama, but moisture will be limited and rain amounts will be very light and spotty.
