Alabama Skies: Cooler weather begins for some Tuesday; severe risk for others

Published 10:22 pm Monday, August 14, 2023

Tuesday is the day for a break from the extreme heat for some of us! Once rain and storms clear out from the northern region, skies will become sunny with a high of only 80 degrees!

Most of the state will feel at least some difference in the weather Tuesday or Tuesday night and into Wednesday. We’ll have the chance for some severe storms in south Alabama as the cold front moves through. Not everyone will cool off as much as the northern counties, but most of us will feel a reduction in humidity levels.
