Birmingham, AL – A sharp temperature drop is set to sweep across Central Alabama tonight, bringing an abrupt end to the recent spring-like warmth.
According to the US National Weather Service in Birmingham, a strong cold front is moving across the region Sunday evening, knocking afternoon highs in the 70s down into the 40s overnight. Residents will notice colder air arriving on gusty winds, making it feel even cooler into early Monday.
The coldest stretch is expected Monday into Monday night. High temperatures Monday will struggle to reach the 40s across much of the state, including Jefferson, Shelby, Tuscaloosa and Madison counties. By early Tuesday morning, lows are forecast to dip into the 20s statewide, with some northern communities potentially seeing upper teens.
The dramatic swing could impact early-morning commuters Tuesday, especially those heading out before sunrise. While no precipitation is currently in the forecast, the combination of breezy conditions and freezing temperatures may prompt residents to protect sensitive plants, pets and exposed pipes.
The good news? The chill will not last long. Forecasters say a rebound is expected by midweek, with temperatures climbing back toward spring-like levels later this week.
