FIRST ALERT: More freezing temperatures, sunshine returning this weekend

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WBRC) - Clouds will continue to decrease overnight, with temperatures falling into the low 20s in many areas. The wind speeds will lessen; however, wind chill will be a factor, with feels-like temps in the teens and 20s in the morning. Make sure you drip your faucets and check on the pets.

Sunshine returns Saturday afternoon and temperatures will warm into the 40s. The wind will be northwest at 5 to 10 mph. Temperatures will tumble into the teens and 20s again Saturday night. Sunshine and a wind shift will allow afternoon temperatures to warm into the upper 40s and lower 50s on Sunday.

Our next big thing is the chance for rain to return Monday evening into Tuesday. Monday will likely start out sunny with temperatures in the upper 20s.
