Average Temperatures Return



After a cold start this morning, temperatures will quickly rebound this afternoon. Hello, I'm Meteorologist, Lauren Whisenhunt.

It's going to be a beautiful Valentine's Day with sunny skies and temperatures in the mid to upper 50's. Typically this time of year, daytime highs are near 58 degrees. Winds will become more Southerly today between 5 and 10 mph, which will help temperatures return to average by the afternoon hours.

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN BIRMINGHAM HAS ISSUED A RED FLAG WARNING...WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM NOON TODAY TO 5 PM CST THIS AFTERNOON.
THE FIRE WEATHER WATCH IS NO LONGER IN EFFECT. VERY DRY AIR AT THE SURFACE WILL RESULT IN LOW AFTERNOON HUMIDITY WITH VALUES FALLING BELOW 25 PERCENT FOR SEVERAL HOURS. A RED FLAG WARNING MEANS THAT CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE EITHER OCCURRING NOW...OR WILL SHORTLY.

Tonight will not be as cold, but still chilly with lows dropping to the middle 30s.

A cold front will approach central Alabama on Friday bringing us another chance of rain. This front will stall over the Deep South and will keep us with a chance of wet weather throughout the weekend. Temperatures are expected to remain mild Friday, Saturday and Sunday with afternoon highs in the upper 50s to lower 60s.
