Alabama is bracing for a significant drop in temperatures, with frigid conditions expected from January 20-25, 2025. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has predicted a 70%-80% likelihood of below-average temperatures across the state, particularly in northern Alabama, where highs may only reach the 30s and lows could plummet to the teens. Notably, meteorologist James Spann has warned that this may bring the coldest air of the season, with specific temperature forecasts indicating Bibb County at 21°F (feels like 12°F), Fayette at 21°F (feels like 12°F), and Walker at 20°F (feels like 10°F) on January 20. In addition to the cold, there are hints of potential wintry weather, with snow chances ranging from 20-40% across Alabama. Spann has suggested that there could be 'winter mischief' around January 20-21, coinciding with a possible winter weather system that NOAA is monitoring closely. However, models have shown inconsistency regarding the exact timing and amount of wintry precipitation, particularly around January 21-22. Residents are encouraged to stay updated as forecasts evolve. [f41e2149]
