DISCUSSION

Issued at 1239 PM CST Sat Jan 10 2026

Strong to marginal severe thunderstorms remain possible southeast of the I-65 corridor this afternoon with damaging winds being the primary threat. This line of convection will exit our area by mid- evening as a strong cold front passing through our area brings a colder and drier airmass into the region. Low temperatures tonight will drop into the upper 30s to middle 40s interior areas, with upper 40s to lower 50s along the immediate coast. Overnight lows Sunday and Monday nights are expected to dip into the upper 20s to lower 30s interior and middle 30's along the coast. Expect high temperatures on Sunday and Tuesday to only top out in the middle 50s to lower 60s, with the coldest day (Monday) struggling to range from 50 to 55 degrees. These temperatures are about 5 to 10 degrees below normal. High and low temps then rebound to near climatological norms through midweek before another strong cold front passing through the area late Wednesday night into Thursday brings a few showers and another significant drop in temperatures.

Beach Forecast: A MODERATE rip current risk will continue through tonight for the Alabama beaches, and through noon Sunday for the Florida beaches. A LOW rip current risk follows through midweek. /22
