Alabama – A sharp chill grips north Alabama this morning, with temperatures near 37°F and a freeze warning in effect until 9 a.m. Frost clings to rooftops and grassy areas, and colder pockets may briefly dip to 32°F. Sensitive plants and early blooms face damage if left uncovered.
According to the National Weather Service in Huntsville, the freeze warning remains active through mid-morning as calm winds and clear breaks allow temperatures to hover near freezing. Roads remain dry, but shaded spots and bridges could feel slick if any moisture lingers. Drivers along I-565 and U.S. 72 should stay alert early.
Conditions shift quickly after sunrise. Skies turn partly sunny, and temperatures rebound to around 59°F by afternoon. A light southwest breeze develops, helping push out the cold air across Madison County and surrounding areas.
Tonight stays milder, with lows near 41°F, reducing further freeze concerns. By Thursday, a steady warm-up takes hold with highs near 70°F under partly sunny skies. That warming trend accelerates into Friday as spring officially arrives, bringing highs near 77°F and more comfortable outdoor conditions.
The weekend delivers a full transition into early spring warmth. Highs climb to 82°F Saturday and 83°F Sunday with mostly sunny skies. Outdoor activity will increase, but rapid warming may catch some off guard after the cold start to the week.
Looking ahead, above-normal temperatures continue into early next week. For now, protect plants this morning, then prepare for a fast shift into spring warmth.
