| March 4, 2019 @ 10:17 am

FREEZE WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 6 PM THIS EVENING TO 10 AM CST TUESDAY

NWS Huntsville has issued a Freeze Warning starting tonight at 6:00 pm for Colbert, Cullman, DeKalb, Franklin, Jackson, Lauderdale, Lawrence, Limestone, Madison, Marshall, and Morgan counties until 10:00 am Tuesday.

A cold arctic airmass is expected to build further southeastward into the Tennessee Valley today, and remain in place through at least the first half of the work week. Temperatures will struggle to reach the mid to upper 30s this afternoon and should fall below freezing for most areas around or shortly after sunset this evening, before dropping into the upper teens and lower 20s Tuesday morning. Due to the high likelihood for a hard freeze and amount of blooming vegetation occurring in the region, a freeze warning has been issued for all counties between 6 pm Monday and 10 am Tuesday.


A VERY COLD AIR MASS WILL SETTLE OVER CENTRAL ALABAMA THIS WEEK

NWS Birmingham has issued a Freeze Warning starting tonight at 6:00 pm for Autauga, Barbour, Bibb, Blount, Bullock, Calhoun, Chambers, Cherokee, Chilton, Clay, Cleburne, Coosa, Dallas, Elmore, Etowah, Fayette, Greene, Hale, Jefferson, Lamar, Lee, Lowndes, Macon, Marengo, Marion, Montgomery, Perry, Pickens, Pike, Randolph, Russell, Shelby, St. Clair, Sumter, Talladega, Tallapoosa, Tuscaloosa, Walker, and Winston counties until 10:00 am Tuesday.

Since we have had mild temperatures of late, the growing season has already begun for many across Central Alabama. Therefore, we will commence our spring frost advisory and freezing warning program. This will be a multi-night freeze event and freeze warnings will likely be needed through Thursday morning.

A freeze warning means sub-freezing temperatures are imminent or highly likely. These conditions will kill crops and other sensitive vegetation.
