A Very Nice Saturday, An Even Nicer Sunday
This weekend will start off cool with plenty of sunshine. Those temperatures will be even warmer on Sunday before the cold front brings the nasty blast of cold air in here for the first half of the work week.
Coldest Air So Far This Season Arrives Next Week
COOL NOVEMBER DAY: Temperatures are generally in the 45-52 degree range across Alabama this afternoon; the average high at Birmingham on November 8 is 68. A band of mid to high level clouds persist over the state; those should move out tonight.

While we do have some sun peeking through the clouds at times across portions of the area, it will be a while before all of those move out of the area.
Freeze Warning Tonight; Even Colder Next Week
DRY, BUT COLDER: Look for a good supply of sunshine across Alabama today, but temperatures will be much colder than recent days. The high over North/Central Alabama today will be in the 50-55 degree range, and a freeze is likely early tomorrow morning. The NWS has issued a freeze warning for North and West Alabama; we project a low between 28 and 32 degrees for most places.
Freeze Watches Upgraded To Freeze Warnings
Frost and freeze conditions will kill crops, other sensitive vegetation and possibly damage unprotected outdoor plumbing.

Take steps now to protect tender plants from the cold. To prevent freezing and possible bursting of outdoor water pipes they should be wrapped, drained, or allowed to drip slowly.
Freeze Watch Issued For Much Of Central Alabama Until Saturday 8:00 AM
Frost and freeze conditions could kill crops, other sensitive vegetation and possibly damage unprotected outdoor plumbing.
Rain Ends Tonight; Colder Tomorrow
RADAR CHECK: Rain is fairly widespread across Alabama this afternoon ahead of a cold front near the Alabama/Tennessee border. The air has become unstable over far Southwest Alabama, and a brief tornado is possible with storms there over the next few hours. Otherwise, just rain with little if any thunder for the northern two-thirds of the state this evening.
Rain Is Getting Closer At Midday… Nice Temperatures At This Point

Rain At Times This Afternoon/Tonight; Colder Tomorrow
COLD FRONT ON THE WAY: Clouds have returned to Alabama this morning, and we expect a few periods of rain this afternoon and early tonight ahead of a cold front. The main window for rain comes from 12:00 noon until 12:00 midnight, and rain amounts should be under 1/2 inch for most places as moisture will be limited. No risk of severe storms, and most likely very little thunder. The high this afternoon will be in the upper 60s.
Rain Tomorrow Afternoon, Colder Friday
DELIGHTFUL DAY: With sunshine in full supply, we have temperatures in the 70s across Alabama this afternoon. Enjoy it, because this will be the warmest day out of at least the next 10 days as a cold pattern becomes established. Clouds will increase late tonight ahead of a cold front.
