North Alabama stays sunny and breezy to close out the workweek. Highs reach the mid to upper 70s Thursday and Friday with a northerly wind gusting up to 25 MPH at times. Overnight lows dip into the upper 40s and low 50s.
The weekend continues to trend drier as what is now Tropical Storm Ian stays to our east. Spotty showers remain possible early Saturday for areas along the Alabama-Georgia state line. Otherwise, we stay dry both Saturday and Sunday. Highs remain in the mid 70s under mostly sunny skies.
Latest On Ian
After making landfall Wednesday afternoon near Fort Myers, now Tropical Storm Ian is beginning to exit the Florida peninsula. Ian will move into the Atlantic this afternoon only to turn back inland and make a second landfall near Charleston, South Carolina Friday. Rainfall amounts of 4 to 8 inches and storm surge up to 5 feet are possible for coastal Georgia and the Carolinas this weekend. Again, Ian will stay well to the east of our area and will have little if any impact on your weekend plans here at home.
