Mobile, AL – Residents across parts of south Alabama and the Florida Panhandle are urged to prepare for dangerously cold conditions overnight as a Cold Weather Advisory takes effect late Sunday night.
According to the National Weather Service in Mobile, the advisory is in effect from midnight tonight until 8 a.m. CST Monday, with wind chills expected to drop as low as 22 degrees in some areas. The cold air combined with steady winds could make temperatures feel significantly colder than actual readings.
The advisory covers Baldwin County and Mobile County in Alabama, including coastal and inland areas, as well as Escambia, Santa Rosa, and Okaloosa counties in Florida. Cities impacted include Mobile, Gulf Shores, Daphne, Fairhope, Pensacola, Destin, Fort Walton Beach, and surrounding communities.
Forecasters warn that prolonged exposure to very cold temperatures and wind chills may lead to hypothermia, particularly for those spending extended time outdoors. Early-morning commuters, outdoor workers, and vulnerable populations face the greatest risk.
The National Weather Service advises residents to dress in layers, including hats and gloves, and to limit time outdoors when possible. Extra caution is also recommended for those traveling overnight or early Monday morning, as cold conditions may affect comfort and safety.
Pet owners are encouraged to bring animals indoors, and residents should check on elderly neighbors or anyone without reliable heating.
Cold conditions are expected to improve later Monday morning as temperatures gradually rise.
