Alabama woke up to another frigid morning on Sunday, but this could be the coldest morning the state will experience for a while.

Temperatures bottomed out well below freezing on Sunday morning across the state. One of the lowest temperatures reported to the National Weather Service was 9 degrees in Haleyville.

But cold even reached down into south Alabama, with Mobile and Dothan both reaching the low 20s overnight.

The National Weather Service in Huntsville warned that roads were still icy and travel still hazardous in many spots in north Alabama, which still has not had a chance to rise above freezing in many spots. But that could change later today.

Here are some unofficial low temperatures from midnight until 6 a.m. Sunday from the National Weather Service:

Alexander City: 16 degrees

Anniston: 13 degrees

Auburn: 15 degrees

Birmingham: 11 degrees

Decatur: 10 degrees

Demopolis: 17 degrees

Dothan: 22 degrees

Eufaula: 18 degrees

Evergreen: 20 degrees

Gadsden: 10 degrees

Haleyville: 9 degrees

Huntsville: 11 degrees

Mobile: 24 degrees

Montgomery: 18 degrees

Muscle Shoals: 12 degrees

Ozark: 22 degrees

Prattville: 17 degrees

Sylacauga: 14 degrees

Talladega: 11 degrees

Troy: 20 degrees

Tuscaloosa: 15 degrees

The chance for a thaw in much of north Alabama should arrive today, with the beginnings of a warmup that will put the state back into the 60s and 70s in the next few days.

The warmer weather will also bring good rain chances along with it, and much of the state has the potential to see several inches of rain — possibly 4 or even 5 inches in some spots — through the week, according to forecasters.

Here’s the seven-day precipitation outlook from the Weather Prediction Center:

So far no severe weather is expected.
