Cold Blast Follows Strong Storms, Rain In Alabama

Cold temperatures gripped the state today with more on the way for Tuesday and Wednesday mornings.

Cold temperatures gripped the state today with more on the way for Tuesday and Wednesday mornings.

Temperatures plummeted across Alabama after storms left flooding and scattered damage across the state.

Al.com reports that crews from the National Weather Service were being sent to Pike, Bullock and Russell counties to determine whether tornadoes snapped trees and caused other damage in those areas.

Weather service reports show temperatures fell as much as 15 degrees from midnight until morning rush hour Monday. And forecasters say overnight lows could drop to the mid-20s as far south as the coast.

The cold blast followed a line of storms that toppled trees and power lines in south Alabama.

In Washington County, the emergency manager early Monday informed the National Weather Service that homes were damaged and campers overturned and some roads in the area were blocked.
