Mercy. A frog-strangler of a downpour blew through the Wiregrass just before dawn, and more rains will roll in before the day is done. Then tonight, strong northerly winds will push down temperatures into the 40s, so we are not done with the chilly weather yet.
Monday will be rainy early with rains likely to move out by late afternoon. The temperatures are moving down. Before dawn we were at 70 degrees, by afternoon temps are expected to fall into the 50s, and look for a cold night, with lows maybe at 40 degrees and a brisk northerly wind.
That cooler air will settle into south Alabama, and stick around a couple of days. The clouds should clear giving us sunshine on Tuesday and Wednesday, but both will be cool days, with highs only around 68, and lows in the mid 40s.
There should be some warming by weekend but it will be next week before temperatures top 80 degrees again.
