Severe Weather Alert: Brace Yourselves, North Alabama!
Hey there, folks in beautiful Huntsville! Hope you all are enjoying this mostly sunny Saturday. If you’re planning to head out, the breeze from the northwest might give you a little chill, as winds will be gusting up to 20 MPH. Today’s high is flirting with the 60-degree mark, so layer up if you plan to sit outside. But as the sun sets tonight, temperatures are set to plummet quickly. You might want to grab that cozy blanket because by morning, we could be looking at lows in the mid to upper 20s.
What’s Happening Tomorrow?
As we roll into Sunday, expect more sunshine but with a drop in the thermometer. Daytime highs will struggle to reach around 50 degrees. Sunday night is looking clear and crisp, with temperatures dipping into the low 30s. Don’t forget to keep that hot cocoa handy!
Monday’s Outlook: A Brighter Day!
Now, here comes Monday, looking to be a bit friendlier with sunny skies and temps warming up to the low 60s. Feels like we are getting a little treat just before things take a turn! However, don’t get too comfortable just yet because our weather forecast is about to get a tad dramatic!
Heads Up for Tuesday and Wednesday!
On Tuesday, the clouds will start creeping in, and our weather team has issued a 48-hour First Alert Weather Day for Tuesday and Wednesday. Why, you ask? Because it looks like we’re on the verge of some wild weather! From Tuesday night into early Wednesday morning, we could be facing severe storms bringing along heavy rain, damaging winds, and even the possibility of isolated tornadoes—yikes!
But wait, there’s more! As those temperatures drop closer to freezing on Tuesday night, we might see rain mixing with snow across parts of north and north-central Alabama. If you live in northwest Alabama, prepare for the potential of up to an inch of snow—how about that for a sudden winter wonderland? As we drift south and east, the amounts may dwindle, leaving some areas just seeing a slushy mix.
Road Safety and Caution Advised
Travelers should be cautious as slick spots could form on roads due to icy conditions persisting throughout Tuesday night into Wednesday. The National Weather Service has indicated that low temperatures will hover around freezing in the north, while the southern parts of the state will be a bit warmer.
Once Wednesday rolls around, we can expect temperatures to climb back above freezing for many areas, but don’t let your guard down just yet. A rain and snow mix is still on the table!
Winding Down Toward the Weekend
Prepare for a serious chill heading into Wednesday night with widespread freezes likely throughout north and central Alabama. The latter part of the week isn’t going to be a walk in the park either, as colder temperatures are forecasted to stick around. But hey, just a friendly reminder that next Saturday it’s time to spring forward. Yes, can you believe it? Daylight Saving Time is just around the corner!
As a wrap-up, Sunday’s sunset in Huntsville is set for 6:49 PM, accompanied by a chance for showers and cooler temps. So grab those umbrellas and stay warm, everyone! North Alabama, let’s keep an eye on the skies and be prepared for whatever Mother Nature throws our way!
