Frost Advisory

**No afternoon Weather Xtreme video this afternoon due to travel**

HEADED FOR THE 30s: We note that we actually had one or two spots up in Northeast Alabama at freezing early this morning, so no doubt another cold night is ahead for Alabama tonight with a clear sky and diminishing wind.

The National Weather Service continues a frost advisory for tonight, and there is no real change in our thinking. Most places will see a low somewhere between 32 and 39 degrees. The coldest valleys across Northeast Alabama could reach the upper 20s, and the ridge tops over 1,000 feet will probably stay above 40. But, most communities will see frost, and you will need to cover up and protect any plants that will be harmed by frost tonight.

Tomorrow will be another beautiful day, with sunshine in full supply and a high in the upper 60s.

We note that Friday morning will be very cool and while most places will see a low in the low 40s, the colder valleys will have some risk of light frost again. Then, a warming trend begins Friday afternoon with a high in the mid 70s.

OUR WEEKEND: Dry is the word for the weekend. Partly to mostly sunny Saturday and Sunday… the high Saturday will be near 80, followed by low 80s Sunday as the upper ridge keeps the active weather west of Alabama.

NEXT WEEK: Still looks like the next round of showers and storms will come Tuesday afternoon, Tuesday night, and possibly into Wednesday morning. Still too early to determine if severe weather will be an issue; still doesn’t look like a classic setup at this point. See the morning Weather Xtreme video for details.

HEADED FOR NORTHPORT: We will be at the Publix on McFarland Blvd in Northport this afternoon from 3:30 until 7:00 programming weather radios…. come see us if you need help. I will be there doing the weather live on ABC 33/40 News at 4, 5, and 6:00.

WEATHER BRAINS: Don’t forget you can listen to our weekly 90 minute netcast anytime on the web, or on iTunes. This is the show all about weather featuring many familiar voices, including our meteorologists here at ABC 33/40.

CONNECT: You can find me on all of the major social networks…
