SUNNY, BREEZY, COLD AFTERNOON: The sky is sunny across Alabama this afternoon, but it is cold and breezy with temperatures in the 40s over the northern counties of the state; we have 50s to the south. A freeze is likely early tomorrow morning over the northern half of the state.
COLDER: The cold front is pushing through the southeast corner of Alabama early this morning where rain is still falling around Dothan; that rain will end soon. To the north, a few light snow flurries are reported over Madison and Jackson counties in the colder air, but temperatures are well above freezing there and there is no impact.
RADAR CHECK: Rain continues to fall over a decent part of Alabama this afternoon… otherwise the sky is mostly cloudy with temperatures in the 60s over the northern half of the state; South Alabama communities are seeing low to mid 70s.
RADAR CHECK: Showers are mainly over the southern half of Alabama early this morning, but we will mention periods of rain statewide today ahead of a cold front. Some thunder is possible, and SPC maintains a low end “marginal risk” of severe thunderstorms for South Alabama later today and early tonight.

THE ALABAMA WEEKEND: A warming trend begins tomorrow afternoon with a mostly sunny sky along with highs in the 50s. Then, on Sunday, clouds increase ahead of a disturbance to the west and some rain will reach the western counties of the state by afternoon.
COLD: Another surge of cold air is invading Alabama this afternoon… temperatures are barely out of the 30s over the northern third of the state. But, to the south, some communities are in the 60s around Dothan. But the cold air wins the battle tonight as it comes to drop southward.
RADAR CHECK: We have a few sprinkles across the southern half of Alabama early this morning; the light rain will end later this morning as colder and drier air moves in from the north. For most of the state, the sky becomes partly sunny today
