FINAL MID-DAY UPDATE TO ADD 38 ADDITIONAL REPORTS
Our observer for Grantley, in North Cleburne County, reports a low of 37 this morning. That is the lowest reported so far in Alabama. He also reported a touch of light frost in some of the lower lying areas around his location. Yep, this means that October really is here weatherwise, and not just in name,
Quite a variation this morning with temperature inversions involved and also some patches of uninvited clouds. (We often call those illegal clouds)
