February weather forecast
Alabama, USA

February ushers in a subtle transition as Alabama moves from the deep cold of January towards the early signs of spring. Temperatures, on average, begin to inch upwards, though the increase is gradual. The northeast regions of Alabama, while still experiencing chilly conditions, have fewer days that drop below freezing compared to January. These areas can also occasionally witness the tail-end of winter snowfall.

In central Alabama, February is characterized by milder temperatures, particularly when contrasted with the more frigid conditions of the previous month. Nevertheless, frosty mornings persist, and occasional cold fronts can bring temperatures down temporarily. Coastal regions continue to benefit from the Gulf's moderating influence, with temperatures being more consistent and milder than the interior.

While February is drier than the peak rain months in Alabama, sporadic rainfall remains a feature. The frequency of hailstorms, common from February to May, begins to increase during this month, especially in regions prone to turbulent weather. The southern areas of the state, closer to the Gulf, may also start experiencing early signs of spring weather, with temperatures beginning to diverge from those of January.

February is mildly cold in Alabama, with the average low temperatures in the 32°F (0°C) to 48°F (8.9°C) range and the average high temperatures in the 53°F (11.7°C) to 65°F (18.3°C) zone.

Compared to the upcoming month of March, February remains cooler and less volatile. The likelihood of tornadoes and severe thunderstorms, which become more pronounced in March, is relatively lower in February. Locations such as Valley Head still continue to register some of the cooler temperatures during this month, though the disparity between it and the rest of the state starts to decrease as the month progresses.
