Mobile, AL – Southwest Alabama is under a freeze warning Friday night, with temperatures expected to dip as low as 30 degrees. The National Weather Service (NWS) in Mobile has issued the warning from midnight Friday to 7 a.m. Saturday, impacting areas such as Escambia, Baldwin, and Butler Counties.
The cold snap could pose risks to crops, sensitive plants, and outdoor plumbing. Residents are advised to wrap pipes, cover plants, and ensure outdoor pets have warm shelter overnight. Vulnerable populations, including the elderly and young children, should also be taken into consideration.
Black Friday shoppers heading out early Saturday morning are urged to exercise caution. Frosty conditions could create slick roadways and reduced visibility, potentially leading to delays.
The freeze warning will expire at 7 a.m. Saturday, but lingering cold temperatures may continue to affect the region through the weekend. Residents are encouraged to monitor their heating systems, check on neighbors, and take additional steps to mitigate the impact of the freeze.
