temperatures will be colder and winds will be stronger... with wind
chills approaching zero. Anyone venturing outdoors this evening and

* Timing: Sunday afternoon.
* Relative humidity: values will fall into the 20-25 percent range
for around five hours on Sunday afternoon.
* Impacts: a dry Arctic air mass will persist across northern Alabama
