Hard Freeze Tonight! A Tad Warmer on Sunday… Saturday Weather Update – 8pm

Good Saturday evening! It’s getting cold in a hurry tonight. Here’s a look at the 8pm temperature map. At that point, Tuscaloosa was at 38 and falling fast. Cullman is reporting 29 and Jasper is at 32! Areas near Jasper and Cullman will spend about 14 hours below freezing tonight. Cullman could reach 22 tonight, which is a hard freeze for this time of the year. The rest of west and central Alabama will drop below freezing around 10pm and stay below freezing until 8 or 9 am tomorrow morning. We will all deal with a hard freeze, with most spots reaching the 25 degree mark. Some of the typical colder spots like Hamilton and Haleyville will reach the 20 to 22 degree mark. We’ll notice a thick frost on the ground Sunday morning.

Skies will remain sunny tomorrow, with a high near 60 degrees. With a light to calm wind and a full day of sunshine, conditions will feel pretty nice between lunch and 3pm.

If you have pets outdoors, tonight is a good night to bring them in.
