The beginning of the holiday weekend is going to be another gorgeous day across Alabama today, but a few folks could have a shower or even a thunderstorm before the day is done.

We’ll all begin the day sunny and breezy, but the northern half of the state could have some rain later in the afternoon and evening. We’re not expecting anything widespread, but there is the possibility for a passing storm. If your Friday plans include anything outdoors, be sure you’re paying attention to sounds of thunder in the distance.
