A Frost/Freeze Alert For The Upcoming Weekend
Some pleasant weather conditions to enjoy through midweek but the latter half of the work week and upcoming weekend will be a different story. The coldest air so far this fall will be blowing into the deep south this weekend. It’s time to prepare those tender plants for a frost/freeze event.
In the meantime, we’re expecting a partly cloudy sky with temps not as cold as last night. Lows will be in the mid to upper 40s early Tuesday morning. The rest of the day will look mostly sunny and temps will warm nicely. Highs will reach the mid to upper 70s Tuesday afternoon.
We head into midweek with a frontal boundary approaching the state. Moisture along the front is limited and there’s little chance for rain activity around here. Temps will continue to manage the mid to upper 70s for highs.  As the front pushes through the area, we experience breezy conditions Thursday. The colder air will spill into the state Thursday night into Friday. Our temps are down into the lower 40s Friday morning. Another surge of colder air flows into the state Friday afternoon and this will be the coldest so far this fall.
The upcoming weekend is going to feel a little bit like winter around here. Temps will take a plunge and we’re expecting lower to mid 30s for lows both Saturday and Sunday morning. That puts us in a frost/freeze zone areawide. There will lots of sunshine overhead but temps will struggle to reach the 60 degree mark both days. It may be time to dig in the closet for those sweaters and jackets!
