🌫️Foggy night possible tonight across majority of the area. While some questions with clouds moving in could limit fog (hence why we do not have a dense fog advisory…Yet), there could be some areas late tonight into Saturday that see dense fog develop.

IF (and that’s a *huge* IF) a scenario like what is presented here comes to pass, there is a chance the 2026 Atlantic Hurricane Season could be hindered by a developing El Niño.
Regardless, it only takes one storm to make it a memorable year. https://t.co/lfoKEQk7T6

A FEW SHOWERS POSSIBLE SUNDAY MORNING… Isolated showers will be possible late Saturday night into early Sunday morning. Most spots will likely remain dry. Cold air moves in Sunday P.M.
Overnight lows are expected to be in the low 20s by Sunday night into early Monday morning. Highs on Monday will only be in the 40s. Temperatures quickly rebound by midweek.
MILD TODAY; VERY COLD TEMPS SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY… We’re headed into a roller coaster of temperatures over the next several days with highs today and tomorrow set to be in the upper 60s and low 70s. Temperatures nose dive on Sunday P.M. after the passage of a cold front. Our local area will likely have the coldest air of the season so far with overnight lows in the low 20s by early Monday morning. Highs on Monday will struggle to get out of the mid 40s. This will be a quick-hitting cold blast, however, as highs by the middle part of the upcoming week are set to be in the 70s again. A few showers may happen Saturday night into Sunday morning, but overall, we have a dry, benign forecast in store over the next few days other than the vast temperature swings.
MILD TEMPERATURES THROUGH TOMORROW… Temperatures will be quite comfortable during the late morning and afternoon hours today and tomorrow. Afternoon highs will make a run at 70 degrees each day. No rain is expected today or during the daytime hours on Saturday.
VERY COLD TEMPS SUNDAY NIGHT, MONDAY, AND MONDAY NIGHT… After a few showers being possible Sunday morning, we dry out across the region Sunday evening as very cold air moves in. Overnight lows on Sunday night into early Monday morning will be in the upper 20s across much of south Alabama and northwest Florida. There is a chance some communities briefly are in the upper 10s by daybreak Monday morning, particularly communities north of U.S. Highway 84. Freeze precautions will be needed ahead of this very cold period Sunday night into Monday morning. Another night with subfreezing temperatures is likely on Monday night into early Tuesday morning.
MILDER TEMPERATURES RETURN BY MIDWEEK… The wild swing in temperatures will continue in the middle part of next week. We will warm into the 60s by Wednesday afternoon with 70s likely for highs on Thursday. The long range forecast (7-14 days out) points to above average temperatures for this time of year.
VERY EARLY LOOK AT CHRISTMAS FORECAST IDEAS… Long-time viewers and readers know that I don’t put much confidence at all in any model guidance beyond 7 days out. We can, however, look at the overall pattern beyond 7 days to see trends that may give us some idea of what a long range pattern may favor. There are consistent trends pointing to warmer than normal (for this time of year) temperatures in the vicinity of Christmas Day. That doesn’t mean we will have 70 degrees for afternoon highs, but it does mean the probability of that is higher than having overnight lows of 25 degrees, as an example.
The average high for Christmas Day is 63° and the average low is 43°.
Christmas 2024 had a high of 64° and a low of 47° (near normal)
Christmas 2023 had a high of 74° and a low of 50° (above normal)
Christmas 2022 had a high of 48° and a low of 26° (significantly below normal)
Christmas 2021 had a high of 77° and a low of 57° (significantly above normal)
Christmas 2020 had a high of 51° and a low of 29° (significantly below normal)
The early trends for Christmas 2025 point to above normal temperatures. We’ll be able to refine the data as we get closer. We’re two weeks out from Christmas Eve today.

MILD TODAY; COLD AIR COMING SUNDAY NIGHT… High temperatures will be a bit warmer this afternoon compared to the last few days with most spots reaching the 70 degree mark by 3PM.
We have a significant, cold air mass on the way for Sunday night into Monday. Overnight lows Sunday night may be in the low 20s with wind chill values in the 10s!
