We continue to moniitor the potential of freezing temperatures for the next three nights in Central Alabama. Here is an update…
TONIGHT
Temperatures will range between 31 in the normally colder locations to around 34 in Pinson, 36 at the Birmingham Airport, upper 30s further south. So there could be a couple of pockets of freezing temperatures overnight, but no widespread problems expected. Still, growers in those normally colder locations should continue their precautions for tonight just in case.
MONDAY NIGHT
Skies may be slower to clear than earlier thought, perhaps protecting eastern sections a bit more. Temperatures will be colder tomorrow night, ranging from 26 in places like Hamilton and in Northeast Alabama to around 29 at Pinson, to 32 in Birmingham to 34 in southeastern sections of Central Alabama. But again, growers need to continue prepaprations for tomorrow night until the threat is better resolved tomorrow.
TUESDAY NIGHT
I think we are okay for Tuesday night. The median temperature should be around 39. Colder spots might get down to around 34, but unless things change, I think we will be ok by then.
All growers and casual gardeners should monitor the latest forecasts and weather information.
