The low clouds(stratus) will gradually erode and clear heading into this afternoon. You will notice the cooler air behinds this morning s cold front but also a big drop in humidity. We ll top out in the low 70s Wednesday afternoon with mostly sunny skies.
We ll be similarly cool through the rest of the workweek. The only hiccup will be a reinforcing cold front Thursday evening from the middle of country. There may be enough moisture and instability to squeeze out a few showers and an isolated thunderstorm. This will be a quick moving line and it will weaken as it moves into north Alabama Thursday evening. We re back to dry conditions in the early morning hours Friday.
Alabama average ACT score drops again in 2020
Updated Apr 29, 2021;
Alabama’s graduating Class of 2020 joined a national trend of lower average ACT scores, with students now scoring lower on the tests than they did five years ago.
Data released by the nonpartisan Public Affairs Research Council of Alabama Thursday matches a national slump across students of all genders, economic backgrounds and demographics. Data also does not reflect changes to learning and testing wrought by the COVID-19 pandemic; graduating seniors would have taken the tests before schools went online.
The average 2020 score was 18.6, the lowest number in the past five years. Since 2015, scores have hovered between 18.8 and 19.2.
