Friday – Sunday Outlook

“The weather will remain somewhat unsettled with a risk of showers and a few thunderstorms each day. But, understand it certainly won't rain all day, and the sun will break out at times,” said James Spann, ABC 33/40, and Townsquare Media Tuscaloosa Chief Meteorologist. “Most, but not necessarily all, of the showers will come from around 2 p.m. until 11 p.m., and while some thunder is possible, we expect no severe storms. Highs will be in the 70s.”
