Midday Nowcast: Sunny, Cool, and Another Freeze Warning Tonight
A cold start to the day with a freeze warning and 30s area wide, but under a sky full of sunshine today, temperatures are in the mid/upper 40s and lower 50s at the midday hours, and are struggling to climb into the mid and upper 50s. Still unseasonably cool by 10-15 degrees for this time of year.
ANOTHER FREEZE WARNING TONIGHT: Lows tonight will fall back into the upper 20s and lower 30s, so more frost/freeze issues are expected tomorrow morning, and another Freeze Warning has been issued for much of Alabama overnight tonight and into tomorrow morning. And of course, the map also shows the numerous river flood warnings that continue due to all the recent rains.
EASTER WEEKEND: The weather looks great all weekend with sunny conditions both days and a warming trend. Highs tomorrow will be in the mid to upper 60s, followed by low and mid 70s Sunday. For those sunrise services Sunday morning, be sure to bundle up as temperatures will be around the 40°. Sunrise time is at 6:30 AM CDT.
