Icy Conditions Still A Threat!
The melting process started Wednesday but with below freezing air remaining, there will be icy conditions for some overnight into Thursday morning. The main threat for black ice will be over areas of South Alabama that received significant snowfall. Some of that snow melted today but a lot of it will refreeze causing the dangerous travel conditions again. We’re expecting a mostly sunny sky and temps to climb above the freezing mark again Thursday. Temps will top out in the upper 30s to lower 40s across the area. It’s back into the deep freeze again Thursday night into Friday morning. It looks like another round of lower 20s are likely.
We begin to slowly make our way out of this Arctic air mass during the upcoming weekend. We expect some sunshine and temps to climb into the 50s for highs. This temperature change will help thaw us out. Overnight temps will still be cold and down in the 20s and 30s. There will be a more significant warmup early next week. Rain will be back in the forecast but temps will warm into the mid 60s for highs.
