An Arctic front is set to sweep through Alabama, bringing a significant drop in temperatures and the possibility of wintry weather. Forecasters are monitoring two potential scenarios for Tuesday and Wednesday, one with dry, brutally cold conditions and another with the potential for precipitation and colder temperatures.
An Arctic front is moving through the state on Sunday, bringing significantly colder temperatures. Highs will be in the 30s and 40s, with lows dropping into the 20s. Wind chills could reach as low as the teens, prompting a First Alert Weather Day for Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of next week. There are two potential scenarios for Tuesday and Wednesday regarding precipitation.
A weak low-pressure system may stay south of the state, over the central Gulf, resulting in dry and extremely cold weather for Alabama for most of next week. Alternatively, a stronger low could track farther north, bringing moisture over the cold air. This scenario would increase the likelihood of wintry weather, especially in the southern half of the state. It's still too early to determine which scenario will materialize, as forecast models are constantly changing their predictions. For the most up-to-date information, continue to check back daily. In the meantime, there are local weather developments to monitor. Clouds are beginning to move back into the sky, leading to overnight and early morning rain. While warmth will persist for now, much colder air will arrive in the state starting Sunday and last for the next 7-10 days.Friday was a relatively warm day compared to the forecast for next week, with highs reaching the 60s under a mix of sun and clouds and a southeast breeze. A weather system is targeting the state tonight into Saturday morning, bringing a brief period of rain. Most of the rain will fall overnight while you're sleeping, with a chance of a few rumbles of thunder. However, the air is expected to be too cool and stable for any severe weather. Rainfall amounts from the Friday night/Saturday system will range from one-half to one inch. Scattered showers may linger into Saturday afternoon before ending Saturday evening
