SOME FROST EARLY TOMORROW: Tonight will be clear and cold with a light wind. Most of the larger cities will see a low between 38 and 42, but colder spots will drop down into the 30-36 degree range due to radiational cooling, with a chance of frost. Growers beware. Then, the day tomorrow will be sunny and warmer with a high back in the 70s.

OVERCAST, COLD AFTERNOON: Most guidance from computer models suggested we would reach the 50s today across North/Central Alabama, but that won’t happen as thick clouds and cold air advection combine to keep temperatures in the 40s.
