Alabama Faces Cold Snap and Potential Snow Flurries This Week
Alabama is experiencing a significant cold snap with temperatures dropping into the 20s and 30s, accompanied by strong north winds. A weak cold front is expected to move through the state Wednesday into Thursday, bringing a chance of light snow flurries mainly in northeast Alabama, including counties such as DeKalb, Jackson, Marshall, Madison, Limestone, Morgan, and Cherokee. The European weather model indicates a low-impact scenario with rain turning to light flurries, while the GFS model suggests a more severe possibility of snow accumulation up to half an inch, which is less likely. The forecast emphasizes close monitoring of temperature trends, as slight changes could lead to freezing rain or more significant snowfall. Meanwhile, the overall weather pattern includes a dramatic temperature drop, with lows expected to reach the upper 20s and low 30s tonight and tomorrow, followed by sunny but chilly days. The region is also preparing for ongoing cold conditions, with frost and freeze warnings in effect, and temperatures remaining below freezing most mornings this week. The cold weather is part of a broader pattern of winter conditions affecting Alabama, with additional cold fronts and temperature fluctuations expected later in the week.
