Cold nights and sunny afternoons follow through the weekend

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (WSFA) – Noticeably colder air has swept into Alabama and you will feel it for the next few days! Sunshine is dominating the skies over the state now through the weekend, but that isn’t helping temperatures much.

The chill in the air lingers on Saturday. Even with sunshine, highs will only warm to the upper 50s to lower 60s both afternoons; winds will be around 5 to 10 mph to end the week and start the weekend ahead.

The night will fall, expect 30s both Friday night and Saturday night! There is likely to be frost in the coldest places on Saturday and Sunday morning.

Freezer Warnings: Several of our counties should be prepared for temperatures to drop into the low/mid 30s a few hours before sunrise Saturday morning. Because of that, the National Weather Service has issued a freeze warning… sensitive plants left outdoors without cover or protection will be affected! Also remember to bring pets inside or make sure they have a place to stay warm.

Temperatures will begin to rise on Sunday and as we head into next week. Highs will be back in the 60s and 70s with overnight lows in the 40s and 50s. This warming is ahead of our next storm system that will bring rain back to the state.

We then issue a first alert as the rain looks set to arrive the day before Thanksgiving, a very busy travel day, and Thanksgiving Day itself on the wet side of things. Something we’ll be watching closely as the forecast data unfolds through the week and into the next.

Tracking the Tropics: There are currently no areas of interest being monitored by the National Hurricane Center. Hurricane season officially ends on November 30th.
