Birmingham faces patchy frost and 60s over the weekend
Temperatures will drop into the 30s and 40s overnight, with a dry forecast persisting through the Veterans Day holiday.
By Sarah Reynolds ·
Frost is possible in northern Birmingham counties by Sunday morning as a surge of cool, dry air settles over the region.
Overnight lows will range from the 40s in the north to the low 50s in the south. Friday daytime highs will reach the low to mid-70s under abundant sunshine. A north wind blowing at 5 to 15 mph will bring a noticeable chill to the area by Friday evening.
The dry pattern continues into the weekend, with highs staying in the 60s for both Saturday and Sunday. Saturday may feature breezy conditions with north winds between 5 and 15 mph. The coldest temperatures of the stretch are expected Sunday morning, when patchy frost threatens northern counties. This frost risk returns Monday morning, potentially extending into eastern valley locations.
Meteorologists are monitoring a disturbance in the southern storm track that could produce isolated showers around Tuesday. A secondary cold front may bring stray showers next Thursday. Neither system is expected to generate enough rain to improve ongoing drought conditions across the area. Most model guidance indicates the region will remain largely rain-free.
The forecast supports the Veterans Day events scheduled for next Wednesday. Residents may also see slow, bright fireballs from the Southern Taurid meteor shower tonight, which typically yields 5 to 10 meteors per hour.
