An area of high pressure will build over the Southeast U.S. today. Expect plenty of sunshine, but the northerly winds will keep it unseasonably cold with highs in the lower 50s.

Tonight, it will be clear and cold with a freeze expected again. Lows will be in the upper 20s to lower 30s. A Freeze Warning is in effect, so protect your plants again. We will still have a little breeze, so the wind chill will be in the 20s.

Wednesday night will be clear, still cold and frosty. Lows will be in the mid to upper 30s. A Freeze Watch is in effect for eastern Alabama. Everyone should protect their outdoor plants.

The area of high pressure will build east of Alabama on Thursday. This will shift the winds from the north to the south, and we will start to warm up.
