Police investigate homicide after woman’s body discovered at Auburn park
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL MORNING. CHECK OUT THIS VIEW OVER GADSDEN. ALL IS QUIET AND DOESN’T IT FEEL NICE? THE HUMIDITY IS DROPPED. WE’RE STARTING WITH SOME CLOUDS, BUT THOSE ARE GOING TO FADE AND WE REALLY EXPECT MAINLY A BRIGHT BLUE SKY TODAY. 66 IN BIRMINGHAM MATCHING GADSDEN. THERE ARE SOME 50S TO THE NORTH, IN COLEMAN AND HALEYVILLE, BOTH AT 57 AND THEN SOME UPPER 60S DOWN I-65 AND IN EAST ALABAMA, PELL CITY AND ANNISTON SITTING AT 68, OUR COLD FRONT MOVED THROUGH YESTERDAY BROUGHT SOME STORMS, BUT BEHIND THIS COLD FRONT A DRY AIR MASS CONTINUES TO SEEP IN ON A NORTH WIND. AND SO THAT’S GOING TO CONTINUE TO WORK IN TODAY. YOU WILL FEEL THE NORTH BREEZE AT TIMES 10 TO 15MPH. REALLY JUST A GORGEOUS DAY EXPECTED FEELING LIKE FALL, ESPECIALLY THIS MORNING. WE’RE VERY COMFORTABLE. I THINK WE’LL DROP TO 64 BEFORE DAYBREAK HERE IN BIRMINGHAM AND THEN THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. A LOT OF LOCATIONS WILL HOVER IN THE UPPER 70 AT LUNCHTIME. I THINK WE COULD BE AROUND 78, 79 DEGREES. AND THEN THROUGH THE AFTERNOON WE ONLY WARM INTO THE LOW 80S. SO A VERY PLEASANT FEEL TO THE AIR, ESPECIALLY NOW THAT IT’S DRIER. NOW TOMORROW MORNING IT’S GOING TO START. COOL. I THINK SOME OF YOU CALL THIS CHILLY, SOME 50 UP ACROSS NORTH ALABAMA, 55 IN COLEMAN JASPER, MAYBE SOME LOW 50S UP ACROSS REALLY THE TENNESSEE VALLEY, THE SHOALS AND HUNTSVILLE, MAYBE EVEN DOUBLE SPRINGS, CLOSE TO 60 TUSCALOOSA ALICEVILLE SAME STORY HERE IN BIRMINGHAM. WE COULD BRIEFLY DROP BELOW 60 DEGREES, BUT STILL 60 DEGREES. THAT’S RELATIVELY COOL. SOME OF YOU MAY WANT A JACKET IN THE MORNING, AND THEN THE AFTERNOON ENDS UP BEING NICE. HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE MID 80S, A LITTLE BIT WARMER THAN TODAY. LET ME SHOW YOU OUR FORECAST HIGHS FOR THIS AFTERNOON. AGAIN, A LOT OF US SETTLING IN THE UPPER 70 SPOTS LIKE DOUBLE SPRINGS AND CULLMAN, ONEONTA MAYBE EVEN GADSDEN CLOSE TO 82 HERE IN BIRMINGHAM. THE FURTHER SOUTH YOU GO, YOU KNOW IT’S SLIGHTLY WARMER, MID 80S, 85 IN MAPLESVILLE, VERBENA AT 84 THIS AFTERNOON, BUT IT’S GOING TO BE VERY NICE IF YOU’RE SPENDING ANY TIME OUTDOORS. I’M EXCITED ABOUT THIS FORECAST BECAUSE WHEN I STEPPED OUTSIDE THIS MORNING AND I FELT THE DRY AIR, THE LOWER HUMIDITY, IT JUST MAKES YOU SMILE. IT FEELS REALLY GOOD OUTSIDE. IF YOU DIDN’T GET ANY RAIN YESTERDAY, THOUGH, THE BAD NEWS IS THERE’S REALLY NOT ANY RAIN IN THE SEVEN DAY FORECAST. AND EVEN BEYOND 7 TO 10 DAYS, WE LOOK PRETTY DRY, SO IT’S MAINLY A TEMPERATURE FORECAST. THROUGH THIS NEW WEEK, TEMPERATURES WILL START TO CLIMB LATER IN THE WEEK AND WE DO GET A LITTLE BIT HOTTER THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. WE’RE NEARING 90 DEGREES WHEN THE GROUND IS DRY. THAT ALSO HAS AN INFLUENCE ON OUR TEMPERATURE FORECAST. AND SO WITHOUT ANY RAIN, IT’S GOING TO START GETTING A LITTLE BIT HOT AROUND HERE, ESPECIALLY ON FRIDAY. WE COULD BE IN THE LOW 90S. THE GOOD NEWS IS THE AIR DOES STAY RELATIVELY DRY, SO IT SHOULDN’T BE A REALLY A STICKY FEELING HEAT, BUT STILL 90 DEGREES IS 90 DEGREES. THE MORNINGS DO REMAIN PRETTY COMFORTABLE, TRENDING A FEW DEGREE
