From James Spann and the ABC 33/40 Weather Blog:

RAIN RETURNS: Today will be cloudy and considerably cooler; most places won’t get past the low 70s today. And, rain will move into the state by late morning into the midday hours. A few thunderstorms are possible this afternoon; SPC maintains a “marginal risk” (level 1/5) for Mobile, Baldwin, and Washington counties, but severe weather won’t be an issue for most of the state. Periods of rain will continue through tonight.

Rain amounts will be under 1/2 inch for the northern half of Alabama, with totals to 1 inch for the southern counties. Some lingering rain is possible early tomorrow, especially for the southern part of the state, then the sky becomes partly to mostly sunny tomorrow afternoon as drier air works in. Tomorrow’s high will be in the 66-71 degree range.
