Overview
- Central Alabama saw an NWS Frost Advisory covering 27 counties from 3 a.m. to 9 a.m., warning more than 1 million residents that mid-30s lows could damage sensitive vegetation and advising care for pets.
- The Oklahoma City metro and much of the state are under a freeze watch for tonight, with widespread frost likely as temperatures dip near 32°F under clear, calm conditions.
- Light, scattered showers or sprinkles are expected in select areas this evening and overnight, but rainfall will be brief and limited, leaving many locations dry and drought concerns largely unchanged.
- After wind gusts that reached 45–60 mph in spots Friday, breezes are easing, and clearing skies are favoring radiational cooling that increases frost and freeze risk by daybreak.
- A notable warm-up is on track next week, with highs returning to the 60s and 70s and some southern areas nearing 80°F, as clocks shift back to standard time early Sunday with earlier sunsets.
