SOME RAIN AT TIMES: Moisture levels are rising across the Deep South, and we will forecast occasional rain through the weekend. Here are the key messages...

*The most widespread rain across Alabama today and tomorrow will be over the southern quarter of the state, especially near the coast. For North and Central Alabama, scattered showers will certainly be around, but the rain won't be especially widespread or heavy. In fact the sun could break out at times tomorrow pushing afternoon temperatures into the 87-91 degree range.

*We expect widespread rain statewide on Sunday. Not raining all day, but a decent part of the day. Some thunder is possible, but there is no risk of severe thunderstorms. Temperatures will hold in the 70s all day due to clouds and rain.

*Rain amounts for far South Alabama could exceed 3 inches between now and Sunday night. Amounts will be in the 1-2 inch range for the central counties, with generally under one inch for North Alabama.

NEXT WEEK: A few lingering showers are possible Monday over the southern part of Alabama, otherwise the week looks rain-free with mostly sunny warm afternoons and clear cool nights.
