NEXT WEEK AND VETERANS DAY

Another round of frost is possible Monday morning as temperatures drop into the 30s across Central and North Alabama. Highs will recover nicely into the low 70s under mostly sunny skies. Expect mild afternoons to continue through midweek, while mornings remain chilly in the low-to-mid 40s through Wednesday.

Veterans Day 2026 will feature fantastic weather for the nation’s oldest Veterans Day parade in downtown Birmingham at 1 p.m. Temperatures will be in the 70s, under a mix of sun and clouds.

A STRONGER SHOT OF COLD

Looking ahead, another strong cold front is expected to arrive between next Thursday and Friday (Nov. 12–13) with a sharp temperature change likely to follow. A few sprinkles or light showers may develop ahead of the front, but we don’t expect anything of consequence.

A strong blast of cold air arrives behind this front, bringing renewed chances of frost and freezing temperatures. This one looks pretty impressive—highs next Saturday might not escape the 50s, with wind chills driving feels-like temperatures into the 40s all day.

We will provide more specific details on local impacts as confidence in the forecast increases.

The latest 6-to-10 day temperature outlook from the Climate Prediction Center features an interesting trend for the region. Odds favor below-average temperatures across the Deep South and down into the Florida Peninsula, signaling a noticeable push of colder air heading into mid-November.
