Increasing Clouds, Scattered PM Showers

It's somewhat of a tough forecast today as Tropical Depression Claudette spins to our south. The heaviest rain associated with Claudette should also stay to our south today. However, a few scattered showers and thunderstorms can't be ruled out this afternoon and evening. Cloud cover will increase considerably by this afternoon, and the combination of clouds and showers will hold temperatures below normal this afternoon. In fact, highs this afternoon will top out near 85. As Claudette approaches western Alabama by late this afternoon, the pressure gradient will tighten and allow for winds to gust as high as 20 mph. The remnants of Claudette will be located very close to our area just after midnight, but the heaviest rain should remain to our south. However, a few isolated showers will still be possible overnight. Lows tomorrow morning will be near 72.
