A Frost Advisory is in effect from 3 AM to 8 AM CDT on Sunday. Temperatures are expected to range from 33 to 37 degrees, leading to frost formation that could harm sensitive outdoor vegetation.
Frost Advisory: Protect Your Plants! Cold Temperatures Expected in Northern Central Alabama.
As the sky clears and winds pick up in Central Alabama, temperatures will rise into the lower 60s to lower 70s this afternoon, with a chance of some frost in northern areas overnight.
Get ready for a transition from breezy with showers and cooler temperatures to sunny skies and warmer weather as we move through the week, with a few strong storms possible on Monday night through Tuesday.
RADAR CHECK: Large areas of mostly light rain continue over the northern half of Alabama this afternoon. South Alabama is mostly dry; in fact the sun is out across the southwest counties of the state, where temperatures have reached the low 70s.
The rain today will come in waves, with some breaks in the rain for a couple of hours, then a couple of hours of rain. We are seeing a few peeks of sunshine today as well, but overall clouds will win the day.
RADAR CHECK: Light rain continues to develop across Alabama early this morning, and we will forecast occasional rain through tonight as an upper trough approaches. The day will be cloudy and cool with highs in the mid 60s for most communities; rain amounts will be around 1/2 inch through late tonight.
MILD MARCH DAY: Temperatures are in the mid 70s across most of Alabama this afternoon; clouds will continue to increase through tonight ahead of a system producing rain over parts of Louisiana and South Mississippi.
The clear sky from this morning is slowing seeing clouds increase from the west and southwest ahead of our next weather system that will bring some showers to Alabama tonight and more widespread rain tomorrow.
ONE MORE DRY DAY: With a partly sunny sky, we project a high in the mid 70s for most Alabama communities today. Clouds will slowly increase late this afternoon and tonight ahead of a weather system to the west.
NICE WARM-UP: As expected, temperatures are near 70 degrees across Alabama this afternoon despite a cold start with lows in the 30s for most places. The sky is mostly sunny, and tonight will be fair with a low in the 40s.
Today is the first official full day of spring as the vernal equinox occurred at 10:06 PM CDT last night. Today started out cold, but with sunny sky we are seeing afternoon highs surging into the low 70s for many North/Central Alabama communities.
ANOTHER COLD START: Temperatures are in the 30s across much of Alabama early this morning, and a few colder spots have reached the freezing mark again. But, expect a very nice warm-up today… with ample sunshine we expect a high in the low 70s this afternoon.
