We are watching a weak cold front that is stalling across the Central Alabama this afternoon. Areas along and south of the front will remain hot and muggy with a decent chance to see scattered storms this afternoon and evening. We are looking at a partly sunny to mostly cloudy sky this afternoon with a 40% chance for scattered showers and storms. The greatest chance to see rain will likely occur along and south of I-20/59.
