Alabama Braces for Cold Temperatures and Light Rain This Week
December 1, 2024 – Alabama is set to face a frigid start to the week as Arctic air settles over the state, with temperatures dipping below freezing in several regions. Both Birmingham and Huntsville recorded lows of 29 degrees, while Anniston and Tuscaloosa dropped to 27 degrees. As the sun sets, temperatures are expected to plummet, further dropping to the upper 20s by early Tuesday morning.
Only mild improvements are on the horizon, as most areas will struggle to surpass 50 degrees on Monday. Attention is focused on a weak cold front moving in from the north, which may bring a slight chance of snow flurries, particularly in northern Alabama, although measurable accumulation is highly unlikely. Wind chills could make it feel like it’s in the teens at times.
Midweek brings a shift in weather patterns, with warmer but damp conditions predicted. A low-pressure system crossing the Great Lakes is projected to introduce rain starting late Wednesday and lasting into Thursday morning. Expected rainfall will generally be light, with areas south of Birmingham perhaps receiving less than half an inch.
This weather shift will be accompanied by yet another cold front advancing southward, leading to a cold spell over the weekend with day-time highs only reaching the low 50s. Residents are advised to prepare for chilly conditions in the coming days, particularly if engaging in outdoor activities. Stay updated with the latest forecasts from local weather stations for specifics on temperature and rain predictions.
