COOL DAYS & COLD NIGHTS UPCOMING; FREEZE WATCH INLAND… Cooler weather has arrived for south Alabama and northwest Florida! High temperatures today will only reach the upper 50s to mid 60s despite full sunshine. No rain is expected, but wind gusts around 20 mph will add to the chilly feel at times. Reinforcing pushes of cool, dry air will keep temperatures low through the weekend, with frost and a light freeze possible in some inland communities overnight.
QUITE COLD THIS EVENING & INTO THE OVERNIGHT… If you have outdoor plans this evening, grab those jackets. Dry conditions will continue tonight, with clear skies and lighter winds allowing the colder inland spots to approach 32° by early Saturday morning. Overnight lows will range from the low 30s inland to the 40s and around 50° closer to the coast.
FREEZE WATCH OVERNIGHT… A Freeze Watch is in effect for Butler, Clarke, Conecuh, Monroe, and Washington counties for late tonight into Saturday morning. Frost is also likely in portions of the area. Protect sensitive outdoor plants ahead of the cold weather tonight, particularly in the inland areas where temperatures may reach freezing.
CHILLY, MOSTLY SUNNY SATURDAY… Saturday will be the coolest afternoon of the weekend, with highs only reaching the mid 50s to low 60s. Mostly sunny skies are expected, and rain remains out of the forecast throughout the day and Saturday night. Even with sunshine, you’ll want to keep a jacket handy if you will be outside.
ANOTHER COLD START ON SUNDAY MORNING… Another round of frost and a possible light freeze is ahead for some inland communities late Saturday night into Sunday morning. The coldest spots are forecast to dip into the low 30s again, while areas closer to the coast remain warmer. Clear skies and light winds will favor overnight cooling. Sunday afternoon will be a little milder, with highs in the upper 50s to mid 60s. Nearly all communities will stay dry during the day before a small chance of showers returns Sunday night.
FEW SHOWERS POSSIBLE MONDAY… An approaching upper-level low will bring more moisture into the region early next week, allowing a few showers Monday and Monday night. Rain chances remain modest, generally around a 20-30% chance, with thunderstorm chances quite low. There is still uncertainty about the track and timing of the low, so this does not look like a guaranteed rain for everyone. High temperatures Monday will remain in the mid 50s to mid 60s.
COOL WEATHER CONTINUES INTO NEXT WEEK… Cool weather will linger into the start of next week before temperatures gradually recover. Highs Tuesday will be in the low to upper 60s, followed by upper 60s to low 70s Wednesday and low to mid 70s Thursday. Rain chances decrease Tuesday, with mostly dry conditions expected by midweek. Overnight temperatures will also become milder.
TROPICS: ATLANTIC BASIN QUIET… The tropics remain quiet, including the Gulf and Caribbean Sea. No tropical development is expected across the Atlantic Basin over the next 7 days. The 2026 Atlantic Hurricane Season continues through November 30.
