Alabama 811 | Know What's Below.

Cold Night Ahead; Beautiful Weekend

| April 7, 2017 @ 3:12 pm

CLOUDLESS SKY: We have a cobalt blue sky over Alabama this afternoon; temperatures are in the 60s. Once the sun goes down, it will cool off quickly, and we expect a low between 35 and 40 degrees for most places early tomorrow with a chance of scattered light frost, but colder spots will have a good chance of seeing a late season freeze.

Good news for growers, there is high confidence this will be the last freeze threat of the season for a large percentage of Alabama, and we can pretty much go ahead and give the green light for planting tomorrow. Next week looks warm and mostly dry.

WONDERFUL WEEKEND: With sunshine in full supply, we rise into the low 70s tomorrow, followed by upper 70s Sunday. A simply beautiful weekend.

NEXT WEEK: The “wave train” has shut down for now, meaning a quiet week with no real significant rain and warm afternoons. We will mention a small risk of a shower late Tuesday or Wednesday, but most communities will remain dry. Highs through the week will be in the upper 70s and low 80s; no sign of any severe weather issues around here for the next 7 to 10 days. See the Weather Xtreme video for maps, graphics, and more details.

STORM SPOTTER TRAINING IN BIRMINGHAM IS TOMORROW: The biggest weather event of the year in Alabama will feature both the basic and the advanced storm spotter classes, I will be speaking as well. If you love weather, don’t miss this. It is at the BJCC in Birmingham, and will run from 9am until 2pm. It is free, no need to register, just show up with a curious mind. I hope to see many of you there.
