Rain totals between Thursday and Saturday will be around 1-2″ across Central Alabama. It will be MUCH COLDER with high temperatures only be in the upper 50s.

The wave will move east of Alabama on Easter Sunday, so we will dry out with a partly to mostly cloudy sky. Sunrise services will be cloudy and chilly with temperatures in the 40s and 50s. By the afternoon we will be mostly cloudy and warm up into the lower to mid 60s. It is looking pretty good for the Easter Egg hunts!
