Nevertheless, frosty mornings persist, and occasional cold fronts can bring temperatures down temporarily.

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.
