Alabama is going to experience quite the warmup this week with 80s by Thursday and Friday. Beginning to monitor the severe weather threat for Friday across Alabama.
24 at Meridianville was the cold spot across North and Central Alabama early Sunday morning.
Freeze warnings are posted for all of North and Central Alabama for tonight and early Monday morning as the coldest air of this cold snap settles over Alabama.
There is a Freeze Warning for North Central Alabama tonight and a Freeze Watch for all of North and Central Alabama.
A cold front is pushing southeastward across Alabama this afternoon. A few strong to severe storms could impact South Alabama ahead of the front. Temperatures are falling behind the front and freezes are possible tonight and Saturday night.
Cold temperatures for the next two nights are prompting freeze watches and warnings for much of the area. Make sure to take precautions to protect people, plants, and pets.
The NWS Birmingham has just issued a freeze watch for Monday and Tuesday nights…other NWS Offices have done the same.
The National Weather Service in Huntsville has issued a freeze watch for late Monday night through Tuesday morning. You can see from the graphics that other surrounding offices have done the same. It will not be a surprise to see the National Weather Service issue some sort of Frost or Freeze Watch for Monday night for some of their counties in Central Alabama.
The rain is over for the most part for areas along and north of I-20. There are a few patches of drizzle or light rain to the north of I-20, but they are inconsequential.
The SPC is monitoring conditions over South Alabama, southern Mississippi, Southwest Georgia, and the Florida Panhandle for gradual intensification of the storms that are dropping south. A tornado watch is likely later today.
