RAIN AT TIMES TODAY; DRYING OUT TONIGHT; LOWS NEAR OR BELOW FREEZING IN NIGHTS AHEAD… Rain showers will continue to be possible over the next several hours as an area of low pressure continues to move by our area to the south in the northern Gulf of Mexico. Rain will clear out to the east as we get into the afternoon and early evening hours. High temperatures will be in the upper 40s further inland and in the low 50s closer to the coast. Cold nights are upcoming, but we also have a brief period of mild temperatures slated to happen on Friday and Saturday.

FREEZING TEMPS AT NIGHT; SLIGHTLY MORE MILD LATER THIS WEEK… Overnight lows will be in the upper 20s by 6AM Tuesday with wind chill values as low as 17° near places like Thomasville and Camden. High temperatures, however, will be slightly more mild each day over the next several days. High temperatures by Friday and Saturday will be in the 60s.

RAIN AT TIMES THIS WEEKEND… Showers will become possible on Friday evening into Saturday as another cold front approaches our region from the northwest. For now, it looks like all the precipitation associated with this passing weather system will be in the form of rain with no freezing rain, sleet, or snow expected anywhere close by. Severe weather parameters also appear quite low with this system. This means occasional thunder may be possible, but this will be a good, old fashioned RAIN event for our region on Saturday.

ANOTHER BLAST OF ARCTIC AIR LIKELY NEXT WEEK… Temperatures are poised to take a nose dive on Sunday after a cold front moves by our region. High temperatures a week from today on Monday, January 20 will be in the 40s with several nights of subfreezing temperatures likely next week. Winter is far from over. January 2025 will go down as one of the coldest Januarys overall we have had in many years.

POCKETS OF HEAVY RAIN OVERNIGHT INTO MONDAY; NO SEVERE WEATHER OVERNIGHT… Rain will happen overnight into Monday morning with temperatures expected to remain above 39° across the entire region. This means that no snow or mixed precipitation is in the forecast for this event. Thunderstorms could happen offshore overnight, but no severe weather is expected across land areas. This will simply be a good, cold, rain event for our region. Scattered showers will continue to be possible until midday tomorrow. We will see a reduction in rain chances throughout the afternoon as the bulk of the rain moves to our east. Drier and colder conditions return tomorrow night.

DRY & COLD DAYS AFTER TOMORROW… High temperatures will be in the upper 40s and low 50s on Tuesday with overnight lows likely to be at or below the freezing mark on Monday night, Tuesday night, and Wednesday night. Partly cloudy skies are expected Tuesday through Thursday.

NEXT CHANCE OF RAIN LATE FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY AHEAD OF SHARPLY COLDER TEMPS… Another strong cold front is expected to approach south Alabama and northwest Florida on Friday night into Saturday. Widespread rain and perhaps a few thunderstorms will become possible on Saturday. Temperatures will be in the 60s on Friday and Saturday afternoons with temperatures in the upper 40s Friday night. This means that wintry precipitation is not a possibility in the system slated to move by later this week into the upcoming weekend.

MORE VERY COLD AIR RETURNS SUNDAY… We will be kicking off another round of very cold temperatures a week from right now. High temperatures will drop back into the low to mid 40s by Sunday. Several nights of subfreezing temperatures and cold days (with highs in the 40s) are expected.
