Its not often that you see widespread temperatures in the teens across most of Alabama, as far south as Jackson. The coldest spot on this windy early morning was Mt. Cheaha, with 12 degrees. Mid 20s reach all the way to Mobile Bay, with the warmest spot being Orange Beach, at 30. But winds are stronger near the coast, so the wind chill up on the 20th floor of a condo down there is probably 10 to 15!
With some clouds, much of Alabama will stay below freezing for most of the day today, then drop into the teens again this evening. It does look like this ranks as one of the 10 coldest periods on record in BHM, going back to 1896.
