Alabama Skies: Freezing weather returns to Alabama. How long will it last?

Published 10:44 pm Sunday, March 17, 2024

Most of the state is under a freeze warning Monday night into Tuesday morning.

We’re expecting freezing temperatures to dip all the way south to the Andalusia to Brewton line with even the Gulf Coast dipping down into the mid-30s.

We’ll go all the way down to the mid-20s in northern Alabama. Add to that wind gusts up to 20 miles per hour, and we could have a wind chill into the teens.

We’ll be windy across the state, so it’s going to feel cool to cold Monday and Monday night. We’ll have another crisp day Tuesday with a return to the 60s and 70s by Wednesday before our next round of rain chances.
