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

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

The weather service expects temperatures in most northern Alabama locations to rise inches above 32 degrees today between noon and 3 p.m.

The weather service said temperatures didn’t drop quite as much as expected overnight and that winds had picked up, which may do some to dry out any remaining moisture on the roads.

Forecasters added that “some improvement to roads in the region is possible today as temperatures rise above freezing and partly sunny skies develop.”

The weather service in Birmingham is also concerned about black ice on the roads in central Alabama. Forecasters said there will be concerns in central Alabama through mid-morning.

However, the temperatures on Saturday morning were already at or above freezing point in many places.

Here are some temperatures across 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 swarms: 33 degrees
• Pell City: 34 degrees
• Sylacauga: 33 degrees
• Talladega: 34 degrees
• Troy: 35 degrees
• Tuscaloosa: 33 degrees

It will be cloudy for most of the day, but forecasters expect it to clear some later in the afternoon. There will also continue to be some wind which will help dry out the roads.

Temperatures today are expected to be slightly higher than Friday (see today’s forecast at the top of this post).

It’s expected to be very cold again tonight, with lows possibly falling back into the teens in northern Alabama and into the 20s across most of the rest of the state. Here are the expected low temperatures for tonight:

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

Light precipitation is possible Sunday night through Monday, especially in southern Alabama. There is a small chance of brief sleet initially as it moves into northern Alabama, but the weather service does not expect any impacts at this time.

Lows tomorrow evening 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 the forecast lows for Sunday evening:

After Sunday night, the weather service expects dry and cold temperatures through Friday as the next weather system approaches.
