SUMMARY: Madison City Schools, the fastest-growing school system in Alabama, is set to break ground on its 8th elementary school due to increasing enrollment, currently at 13,000 students. Officials anticipate reaching 15,000 students by 2030, emphasizing the need for expansion. The new Russell Branch Elementary School will serve the Limestone County area near Madison Branch Boulevard and Port More Road, alleviating overcrowding at existing schools. Superintendent Dr. Nicholls highlighted that 27% of students reside in Limestone County, necessitating the new school. Upcoming changes may also involve rezoning to better distribute students across the district, though grandfathering current students remains undecided.

Madison City Schools is the fastest-growing school system in the state, making one thing a crucial need: expansion.

Another Cold Night, Dry but Warmer Sunday: Saturday Evening Forecast 11/23/2024

SUMMARY: Meteorologist Grant Skinner reports a chilly forecast with overnight lows dropping into the mid to upper 30s, even hitting 38°F in Mobile, which is below average. Clear skies and calm winds will lead to radiational cooling, resulting in patchy frost in some areas. A frost advisory is in effect for several counties. Tomorrow will bring warmer temperatures in the 70s with increasing clouds and dry conditions until a weak cold front on Tuesday introduces slight rain chances. By Thursday, a significant front could bring scattered showers and a cool down by the weekend, with lows dipping back into the 30s.

After a chilly start, it stayed cool this afternoon with lots of sunshine. Overnight, a frost advisory is still in place for our northern spots as lows will drop into the mid-30’s. Areas closer to the coast will see lows in the low- to mid-40’s. Winds will be calm to start the day on Sunday, but we will switch to a south wind bringing more warmth and moisture to the area. Highs will be warmer in the low-70’s. Rip current risk will remain low through the start of the next work week. We will be even warmer for Monday ahead of our next front. We will see that front pass through our area on Tuesday bringing the chance for a few showers. It will likely stall south of the area and dissipate, but it will still bring a brief shower chance on Wednesday. Finally on Thanksgiving Thursday, another front will swing through the area bringing a chance for scattered showers and storms later in the day. After that front passes, temperatures will likely take a tumble into next weekend.

SUMMARY: Meteorologist Grant Skinner reports a chilly Saturday morning forecast with temperatures starting at 34-52°F across various locations. High pressure keeps conditions dry but leads to frost and freeze alerts until 8 a.m. Today will see temperatures gradually warm into the 60s by afternoon, but they remain below average. A shift to southerly winds tomorrow will bring warmer temperatures in the 70s, persisting into midweek. Rain chances return by Thanksgiving due to a passing front, with temperatures dropping back to 60°F by Friday. Overall, expect a mix of chilly mornings and warmer afternoons as the week progresses.

It is a very chilly start to this Saturday morning with most places in the 30’s and 40’s. As northerly winds continue into this afternoon, highs will stay cool in the 60’s. Dry conditions will stay in place throughout the weekend. We will see winds shift to out of the south by Sunday afternoon, so warmer air will push into the region. Highs will push into the low-70’s. Rip current risk will remain low through the start of the next work week. We will be even warmer for Monday ahead of our next front. We will see that front pass through our area on Tuesday bringing the chance for a few showers. It will likely stall near the area and then lift north on Wednesday before finally pushing south and out of the area on Thursday. Thursday will also bring our best chance for showers, but they will stay scattered.
