On Saturday there is a front to the west of our region bringing rain into NW Alabama. Some showers will progress eastward from there over the next few days, but rainfall amounts will be relatively light. By the end of the week most areas will see no additional rainfall, although a few showers may linger in the east. The lack of rainfall may cause some increases in next week’s Drought Monitor map, although cold temperatures will limit evaporation. Precipitation in the next three weeks is expected to be lower than average, which may continue to affect the drought here.
