Discussion              

After yesterday’s mild and very wet conditions, it’ll turn much colder today across northern Alabama following the passage of a slow-moving Arctic cold frontal system.  Winds will be quite noticeable today, tonight and on Saturday from a northwesterly direction as Arctic air floods the region.  Winds will die down on Saturday night and it’ll turn slightly milder on Sunday and there should be plenty of sun on both weekend days.
