What’s Happening Tonight

Expect rain to roll in after sunset, with a few claps of thunder possible while you’re winding down for the night. The good news? No severe storms are expected. So while it might sound loud at times, this system isn’t packing the punch of damaging winds or hail. Just grab your raincoat and let the steady showers do their thing.

Saturday’s Weather: A Chilly Turn

By Saturday afternoon, the rain will start to ease up, but don’t get too comfortable. As the rain moves out, much colder air will move in. Temperatures will drop like a rock overnight, flirting with freezing by late Saturday night. If you have plans, make sure you dress warmly—it’s going to feel a lot different than earlier in the day.

Next Week: The Big Freeze

Hold on to your hats (and scarves)! Starting Sunday, a powerful arctic air mass is moving in. It’ll bring the coldest temperatures we’ve seen this winter. Birmingham could dip into the teens at night, with highs barely cracking the 30s during the day. And even down in Mobile, where things are usually milder, temps could plummet into the 20s.

How to Stay Ahead of the Cold

  • Wrap your pipes: Don’t let them freeze! Cover any exposed pipes outside your home.
  • Stay warm: Check your heater, stock up on firewood or blankets, and don’t wait until the last minute.
  • Look out for others: Make sure elderly neighbors and family members are staying safe and warm.
  • Drive carefully: If there’s any leftover rain on the roads, it could freeze and create slick spots, especially on bridges and overpasses.
