FIRST ALERT: Frigid morning temperatures

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WBRC) - A cold sunshine and gusty winds will continue to create a feels like temperature in the 30s on this Sunday afternoon.

A First Alert for an even colder feel in the teens by the morning of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. It won’t improve much during the day and you’ll have to dress for a feel in the 20s.

The breeze will relax on Tuesday into Wednesday. Expect lows in the 20s and upper teens on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday morning. Temperatures that cold can cause pipes to burst so protect them, drip the faucets and keep your pets warm too. Of course, you’ll need to dress appropriately for the cold snap.

As a reminder, the normal high is 54 and normal low is 34 this time of year. Normal temperatures look to return by Friday. I do not see any big temperature spikes ahead.

Sunshine will be abundant tomorrow, a few clouds pass by on Monday night but will exit by Tuesday morning and then more clouds arrive on Wednesday. Rain looks to return on Thursday evening and exit east by Friday afternoon.
