First Alert: Dry and cool today, storms likely tomorrow

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (WSFA) - Several big changes are ahead for Alabama over the next seven to ten days, ranging from storms to frost and freeze issues. There will be some calm days along the way as well, of course, but those higher impact days will get your attention.

A cool Saturday morning is in progress, but we’ll warm into the 66-74 degree range by afternoon. All things considered, today will be a nice day with a mix of sun and clouds and comfortably cool weather.

Higher rain chances arrive tomorrow as a cold front slides through the state. A cluster of thunderstorms will roll through the area, bringing a risk of damaging wind gusts along for the ride. The highest chance of storms comes south of Montgomery, in places like Camden, Monroeville, Greenville, Troy and Andalusia. The tornado risk is rather low, but not zero. We’ll be watching.

Then, we turn cold.

Temperatures plunge into the mid and upper 30s Monday night and again on Tuesday night; frost is possible if not likely. We’ll stay dry Monday through Thursday, but more rain and storms are likely by the end of next week. That batch of storms could be followed by ANOTHER shot of cold air by next weekend. It’s March, wild swings are normal - but buckle up, these big changes will come fast and furious over the next ten days.
