Sun-Filled Saturday
High pressure is firmly in control of our weather across Alabama. Little to no clouds in the sky, minus some upper-level cirrus, but after the freezing start to the day, our temperatures as we head into the afternoon have made their way into the 50s and should top out in the upper 50s to lower 60s by the end of the day. Cool and below average, but not too bad either.
TONIGHT: It will be another cold one, as lows will fall into the lower to mid 30s once again under a clear sky and with light winds. A freeze watch is in effect for much of North Alabama, roughly along and north of a line from Millport, to Calera, to Roanoke. Once again, keep those sensitive plants covered.
SET THOSE CLOCKS BACK TONIGHT: Daylight Saving Time ends tonight, so be sure to set the clocks back one hour before heading to bed as 2AM Sunday, will become 1AM Sunday. You should get an extra hour a sleep, but also sunrise tomorrow will be at at 6:07 AM CST in Birmingham, while the sun will set at 4:53 PM CST tomorrow afternoon. We will stay on Standard Time until March 8, 2020, when we spring forward back onto Daylight Saving Time.
COPY/PASTE FORECAST: If you like today’s forecast, you’ll love tomorrow’s as it will be a near carbon copy. Cold morning temps will warm into the upper 50s and lower 60s again by the afternoon, with a ample sunshine in the Alabama sky.

CONTIGUOUS TEMPERATURE EXTREMES: Over the last 24 hours, the highest observation was 94F at Oasis Ranger Station (RAWS), FL. The lowest observation was -20F at Peter Sinks, UT.
WEATHER ON THIS DATE IN 1946: A heavy wet snow began to cover the Southern Rockies. Up to three feet of snow blanketed the mountains of New Mexico, and a 31 inch snow at Denver, CO caused roofs to collapse.
