Question

A: It sure is cold this morning,isn't it? I barely even get out of bed.
B:Yeah.It's pretty cold,alright.

What does this mean alright?

Answer

It's just a word used for emphasis.  Simply meaning, "Yes, it's definitely really cold." Other examples of words used this way could be...

A: "Man, I tell you, it's hot." = "It's really, really hot." (filler = "Man, I tell you")

Or
A: "Can you believe what happened to Mary?"
B: "I know, right?" = "Right" in this example is rhetorical.  This means that we aren't expecting an answer back.  With this phrase and certain tone of voice, it makes "I know, right?" sound more like, "No, I absolutely can't believe what happened to her!"
