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.
