COLD, WET: A deep, cold core upper low is moving over Alabama this afternoon, setting the stage for a cloudy, cold, and wet day. Temperatures over the northern half of the state are in the 47-54 degree range… next time we have a day this cool will probably come in October. Occasional rain showers will continue through tonight.
DRY/COOL AFTERNOON: With a good supply of sunshine, temperatures are generally in the 58-62 degree range across the northern half of Alabama this afternoon. The air is very dry, and tonight will be clear and cold again. A freeze warning is in effect for a decent part of North Alabama once again, for areas generally north of a line from Winfield to Oneonta to Gadsden to Weiss Lake.
FROSTY NIGHT AHEAD: Temperatures are hovering around the 60 degree mark this afternoon with a good supply of sunshine. Tonight will be clear and cold, and many North/Central Alabama communities will see a freeze. We project lows in the 28-34 degree range early tomorrow, and even where temperatures don’t drop below freezing frost is likely.
SUNNY BUT COLD: A deep cobalt blue sky is over Alabama this afternoon; temperatures are in the 40s over the northern counties, with 50s to the south. Another freeze is ahead tonight; most places will drop into the 20s early tomorrow morning.
FREEZE WARNING: All 67 Alabama counties are under a freeze warning tonight along with the Florida Panhandle. Most communities across North/Central Alabama will see a low between 18 and 24 early tomorrow morning… Birmingham’s record low for March 6 is 18 set three years ago in 2015.

A brisk northwest wind will make it feel colder.
COLD AND WET: As this day begins we have widespread rain falling over North Alabama in a cold airmass. In fact, a number of places had some sleet at the onset of the precipitation thanks to evaporative cooling. Temperatures, however, are above freezing, and there is no impact from the sleet.
COLD NIGHT AHEAD: As expected, today is breezy and much colder across North/Central Alabama. We saw some low 80s at this time yesterday; Cullman and Haleyville are at 39 degrees at mid-afternoon today. Most communities are in the 40s, and with a clear sky and diminishing wind tonight temperatures will drop pretty quickly. We project a low in the 25-29 degree range early tomorrow morning.
COLD, DRY AFTERNOON: Temperatures are in the 30s over the northern quarter of the state this afternoon despite sunshine in fully supply; we have low to mid 40s across the central counties. Tonight will be fair and very cold; lows will range from 15 to 25. Colder temperatures will be in the valleys, as usual.
COLD, DRY: Look for a sunny sky today with a high in the mid 40s. Tonight will be clear and cold again; we project a low between 15 and 22 for most communities tomorrow… it will be one of the coldest mornings so far this winter.
SUNNY, COLD AFTERNOON: The much discussed, underperforming snow event in Alabama ended early this morning, and we have sunshine in full supply this afternoon with temperatures generally between 37 and 41 degrees.
