James Spann: Another freeze tonight for Alabama; warmer over the weekend
ANOTHER FREEZE WARNING: With a clear sky and light wind, another Freeze Warning is in effect for most of Alabama again late tonight and early Saturday:
We project lows between 25 and 35 degrees for most locations; colder spots could be below freezing for six hours or longer. Then, over the weekend, a warming trend begins. With sunshine in full supply, we are forecasting a high in the mid 60s Saturday, followed by low 70s on Easter.
NEXT WEEK: The weather will stay dry Monday through Wednesday. Afternoon temperatures will be close to 80 by Wednesday. Then, showers and storms return Thursday and Friday; for now it doesn’t look like a severe weather situation, but you always have to watch any system that rolls in here this time of the year.
