…WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 9 PM MONDAY TO 9 AM CST
TUESDAY…
* WHAT…Freezing rain expected. Total ice accumulations of a
light glaze.
* WHERE…Portions of south central and southwest Alabama and
southeast Mississippi.
* WHEN…From 9 PM Monday to 9 AM CST Tuesday.
* IMPACTS…Roads, and especially bridges and overpasses, will
likely become slick and hazardous. The hazardous conditions
could impact the morning commute.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS…
Delay all travel if possible. If travel is absolutely necessary,
drive with extreme caution and be prepared for sudden changes in
road conditions. Leave plenty of room between you and the vehicle
ahead of you. Allow extra time to reach your destination. Avoid
sudden braking or acceleration and be especially cautious on hills
or when making turns.

Freezing rain remains possible late Monday night into Tuesday morning northwest of Interstate 65 as a cold front crosses the area. Cold air moving over the area behind the front will limit temperatures to the upper 30s to mid 40s over most of the area Tuesday. The continued push of cold air will bring temperatures dropping into the teens and winds chills in the single digits to most of the area Tuesday night into Wednesday morning.

 

Goodnight everyone, sleep well.

 

Good morning everyone, have a great, safe and blessed day.

 

Good morning Jeff hope you and your family had a great trip.
Stay safe and warm today.

 

We did. Stay safe and warm yourself.

 

Good morning Jeff

Good morning David.

 

Morning, fellas.

COLD/SNOW/ICE: A messy winter weather setup continues for much of Alabama today. A winter storm warning remains in effect for Marion, Winston, Franklin, Colbert, Lauderdale, Lawrence, Limestone, Cullman, Morgan, Madison, Marshall, Jackson, and DeKalb counties in North Alabama. A winter weather advisory is now in effect west of a line from Mobile to Selma to Clanton to Sylacauga to Ranburne.



Here are the key messages this morning….

*Most of the accumulating snow will come along and north of the Tennessee River where 2-4 inch totals are possible. Amounts over 5 inches are possible around the Shoals before it ends tonight. Light snow accumulation is possible as far south as Hamilton, Cullman, and Fort Payne.



*South of the Tennessee River, freezing rain and drizzle will be the primary issue. This is precipitation that falls in liquid form when surface temperatures are below 32 degrees. It can bring a glaze of ice to exposed surfaces, including bridges and some roads.



*Temperatures will remain below freezing all day today over the northern third of the state, in the winter storm warning area. Roads will be icy and hazardous there.

*The Arctic front drops southward, and temperatures go below freezing over the winter weather advisory area late this afternoon and tonight. As light freezing rain and drizzle falls, bridges will become icy. Some black top road surfaces will become icy.

*Temperatures will remain below freezing over much of North/Central Alabama through the late morning hours Wednesday, so travel conditions won’t improve much until then.

*This cold wave will be similar to that of December 2022. Lows will drop into the teens both tomorrow and Wednesday morning, with single digit lows likely over the northern third of the state early Wednesday. Wind chill values will be very low, below zero at times tomorrow, tomorrow night, and early Wednesday. Temperatures reach the upper teens along the Gulf Coast Wednesday morning.

-Learn how to shut off water valves for potential pipe bursts.
-Check on the elderly and others that might not have an adequate heat source.
-Bring pets inside.

LATER THIS WEEK: Temperatures rise into the upper 40s and low 50s Thursday, but another batch of Arctic air invades the state Thursday night and Friday. There is a chance a “wintry mix” is possible over the northern third of the state Thursday night; we will focus on that potential tomorrow… for most of the state it will be just a cold light rain at times.

The sky will clear on Friday with highs only in the 30s over the northern half of the state, with low 40s to the south. A brisk north wind will make it feel colder.

THE ALABAMA WEEKEND: The weekend will be dry but very cold. Lows will be in the teens for most places Saturday and Sunday morning. North Alabama will stay below freezing all day Saturday. Temperatures rise into the 40s Sunday afternoon as we begin to dig out of the deep freeze.

NEXT WEEK: The pattern flips, and we will be in the 60s by mid-week. Global models suggest rain will return to the state by Thursday… See the video briefing for maps, graphics, and more details.



ON THIS DATE IN 1967: The Green Bay Packers beat the Kansas City Chiefs, 35-10, in Super Bowl I at the Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles. From the weather station at the USC campus in downtown LA, the high temperature was 79 degrees, and the low was 51. There was a light west wind

 

Morning peeps, no snow or anything yet. Just a little frosty !

 

Beautifully sunny day in East Alabama

 

Send some of that stuff this way por favor

 

Taking advantage of this nice weather before the temperatures plummet.

 

Feels like 30 here with a temperature of 36 and still no snow, flurries or anything.

 

I'm on the fringe 35 and misty .18 inches of rain in the gauge no snow. On the mountain that's another story, it's snowing up there 3 miles away. Waiting on the temp to lower, snow begins.

 

3-4 inches of snow on the ground here.

 

Nothing here at all. Still 34

 

Perfect weather in Auburn today. High in the mid 60’s. Did some exploring at Chewacla State Park. Everyone stay warm and safe this week.

 

13 degrees here tonight.

 

Goodnight everyone stay warm, be safe and sleep well.
