Looking out the window weather: 4/11

Look for sunny, windy and not as warm weather to end the work week.

Surprise, surprise. A line of rains held together to long enough to sweep through south Alabama before dawn. But those rains have raced on to the southeast and clouds have cleared. Behind the front is some cooler weather.

So we now rejoined our regularly scheduled Spring.

Plenty of sunshine today will help temps top the 70 degree mark, but brisk winds will ramp up as Friday goes along. So look for a beautiful, but breezy and not as warm weather as we head into the weekend.

Warmer weather will settle in the next few days, although lows at night may fall into the 40s this weekend.
