MONTGOMERY, Ala. – As the state transitions from rain to calmer weather, residents are bracing for a significant drop in temperatures. Following the last of the showers, conditions will clear up for the evening, leading to a chilly night ahead.
Temperatures are expected to plummet into the 40s and even the 30s tonight. Tomorrow, while the skies will be mostly sunny, highs will struggle to reach the mid-50s. In some areas of North-central Alabama, temperatures could linger in the upper 40s. The cold will intensify overnight, with lows possibly descending into the upper 20s and low 30s. A north wind of 5-15 mph will exacerbate the chill, making it feel even colder.

However, cold temperatures won’t be limited to just the beginning of the week. After a brief warming trend on Tuesday and Wednesday, the forecast indicates another significant drop by Thursday, although precise temperatures remain uncertain. The WSFA First Alert Weather team is actively monitoring the situation and will provide updates as new information becomes available.
