The National Weather Service expects temperatures in Alabama to make it above freezing today, but there could be lingering ice on roads across north and north-central Alabama, where snow was still on the ground on Saturday morning.

A winter weather advisory will remain in effect for all of north Alabama until 10 a.m. The National Weather Service in Huntsville said black ice will be possible on roads until temperatures rise above freezing.

The weather service thinks that most spots in north Alabama will inch above 32 degrees between noon and 3 p.m. today.

The weather service said that temperatures didn’t fall quite as far as expected overnight and the winds picked up, which could help a little in drying up lingering moisture on roads.

Forecasters added that “some improvement on area roadways is possible today if temperatures can rise above freezing and partly sunny skies develop.”

The weather service in Birmingham also is concerned about black ice on roads in central Alabama. Forecasters said it will remain a concern through mid-morning in central Alabama.

However, many spots were already at or above freezing as of Saturday morning.

Here are some temperatures around the state as of 8 a.m. from the weather service:

• Anniston: 34 degrees
• Auburn: 34 degrees
• Birmingham: 33 degrees
• Decatur: 33 degrees
• Demopolis: 36 degrees
• Greenville: 33 degrees
• Haleyville: 30 degrees
• Huntsville: 32 degrees
• Jasper: 32 degrees
• Mobile: 37 degrees
• Montgomery: 36 degrees
• Muscle Shoals: 33 degrees
• Pell City: 34 degrees
• Sylacauga: 33 degrees
• Talladega: 34 degrees
• Troy: 35 degrees
• Tuscaloosa: 33 degrees

It will be cloudy much of the day, but forecasters expect a little bit of clearing later this afternoon. There will also continue to be some wind, which will help dry up roads.

Temperatures are expected to be a bit higher today than they were on Friday (see today’s forecast at the top of this post).

Tonight is expected to be another very cold one, with lows possibly falling into the teens again in north Alabama and 20s expected across most of the rest of the state. Here are tonight’s expected low temperatures:

The weather service expects temperatures to remain cold across Alabama through at least the middle of next week with Tuesday night possibly being the coldest.

Some precipitation will be possible, mainly across south Alabama, from Sunday night into Monday. There’s a small chance it could start off, briefly, as sleet if it makes it as far north as central Alabama, but the weather service is not expecting any impacts as this point.

Lows tomorrow night will be in the upper 20s in north Alabama, the mid to upper 30s in central Alabama and the upper 30s to mid-40s in south Alabama.

Here are Sunday night’s forecast lows:

After Sunday night the weather service expects dry conditions and cold temperatures until Friday, when the next weather system approaches.
