Birmingham to experience one last cold snap Monday to Wednesday. Be prepared.
Starting early Monday morning, Birmingham will experience one last cold snap for the winter of 2019.
According to the National Weather Service Birmingham Office, temperatures will dip near freezing early Monday morning. Beginning Monday, daytime high temperatures will be in the 40s, but after sundown on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday temperatures will plummet down to the 20s. By Thursday, temperatures will be back to normal for this time of year in Alabama.
Don’t be taken by surprise
If you have already stored your heavy coats, hats and gloves, break them out one last time this winter.
February 2019 was unseasonably wet and warm with only one day reaching a low of 32 degrees the entire month, so don’t be fooled. Bundle up!
Bring in pets and plants
It’s been so warm this winter even the Bradford pear trees bloomed prematurely two weeks early. Don’t forget to bring in your plants too. And of course, over the next three days take shorter walks with the dog and let your cats inside.
