Alabama residents could wake up to frost covered lawns and chilly windshields Monday before temperatures surge toward 70 degrees. The changing November weather pattern brings crisp mornings, sunny afternoons and a noticeable temperature swing across North Alabama.
The greatest concern arrives early Monday, when temperatures fall near 36 degrees and patchy frost becomes possible.
According to the National Weather Service in Huntsville, patchy frost could develop after 5 a.m. Monday across portions of the Huntsville area.
The forecast covers Huntsville and nearby communities in Madison County, part of the greater Tennessee Valley region.
Sunday Brings Sunshine Before Monday Frost Develops Saturday afternoon temperatures should reach approximately 61 degrees under mostly sunny skies.
North winds of 5 to 10 mph will accompany the cooler conditions before temperatures fall toward 37 degrees Saturday night.
Sunday brings another pleasant afternoon, with mostly sunny skies and highs near 65 degrees.
However, temperatures drop toward 36 degrees Sunday night, creating favorable conditions for patchy frost early Monday.
Gardeners and homeowners should pay attention to the Monday morning temperature drop.
Sensitive outdoor plants could experience damage where frost develops, especially in sheltered or low lying locations.
Residents should consider covering vulnerable plants and protecting delicate vegetation before the colder air arrives.
Drivers traveling Interstate 565, U.S. Highway 72 and surrounding roads may encounter frosted windshields early Monday.
Widespread icy roads are not forecast.
