SEVERE CLEAR: Bone crushing subsidence (sinking air) means a cloudless sky for all of Alabama this afternoon. Temperatures are below average… 40s for North Alabama, with 50s to the south. Tonight will be clear and cold with a freeze; most places will see a low between 22 and 28 early tomorrow.
After the cloudy start to the day, we are seeing ample sunshine as we head into the afternoon hours. Winter temperatures have certainly returned to Alabama as highs today will not make it out of the 40s this afternoon. Factor in those brisk northerly winds, and it is feeling colder.
DRY THROUGH TOMORROW: Sunshine returns to Alabama in full force today; look for a high between 45 and 49 degrees this afternoon for most communities. The average high for Birmingham on January 28 is 55. Tonight will be clear and cold; we project a low in the mid 20s early tomorrow… some of the colder spots could see low 20s.
