Gusty Winds and Rapid Temperature Drops along Front
The front has made into the Birmingham metro. We are seeing the temperature drop quickly and we had a peak wind gust at the airport of 48 mph. The intense gusts of wind has lead the National Weather Service to issue significant weather advisories along the front as wind gust up to 50 mph are possible. Last hour the temperature dropped 16 degrees in one hour from 63 to 47. We expect to see similar conditions affect areas of East Alabama the next couple of hours.

The front has also just made it through Demopolis too where the temperature dropped 9 degrees going from 63 to 54 the last hour. Peak wind gust there was 23 mph.
