Beautiful weather across Alabama and the Deep South this week, with simply splendid, spring-like weather. The relative dry air is place allows for the big temperatures swings daily from the morning lows in the 30s and 40s, to afternoon highs in the mid and upper 70s.

FOGGY START: A freezing fog advisory is in effect for much of North and Central Alabama early this morning; dense fog has formed in spots, and with temperatures below freezing that could mean some icy spots on bridges. With a sunny sky, temperatures will warm quickly, and we project a high in the 55-65 degree range across the state this afternoon.
Today and tomorrow will feature plenty of sunshine, but temperatures will remain below average with highs in the mid to upper 40s today, but we should see low 50s tomorrow afternoon. Tonight will be another frigid night with upper teens and lower 20s.
