As of 12:26 pm, if you are located south of the I-59 corridor, you are most likely enjoying mainly sunny skies. But for those along and north of the I-59 corridor, you will notice that some thin cloud cover has started moving over your neck of the woods.
Very slippery sidewalks, roads and bridges are possible. The hazardous conditions could impact the morning or evening commute.
Given the recent stretch of warm weather and subsequently warm ground temperatures, bridges and other elevated and exposed surfaces will be most susceptible to glaze accumulations due to freezing rain.
Fog and freezing temperatures over North Alabama pose the potential for slippery driving and walking in areas where the supercooled fog droplets freeze on contact with exposed surfaces.
Patchy freezing fog is expected to develop across portions of north Alabama and southern middle Tennessee.
Some icy road conditions remain up in the Tennessee Valley Region this morning, but afternoon highs up in the 40s and 50s will help melt the ice.
While a few flurries may still be falling over the northern portions of the area, much of the activity has shifted southward in the form of some very light showers or sprinkles mainly south of the I-59/I-20 and I-20 corridors.
The WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY has been extended until 9 pm CST for the following counties in the Tennessee Valley region: Cullman, DeKalb, Jackson, Madison, Marshall, and Morgan.
NWS Huntsville will allow the Winter Weather Advisory to expire at 7 pm for all of their counties in the Tennessee Valley, but will issue a new one until 9 pm for the eastern portions of their area as there is some snow redevelopment as far west as the western parts of Cullman and Morgan counties.
From the Jackson County EMA, all roads in Jackson County up in Northeast Alabama have been deemed impassible by tonight’s wintry mischief.
NWS Birmingham has issued a WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY for Cherokee & Etowah counties in Central Alabama until 9 pm CST tonight.
A snowy Monday across the Tennessee Valley area… Some of the snow causing some trouble out there on the highways and streets. Please use extreme caution if having to get out on the roads this evening.
Some wintry precipitation continues to fall over the northern-third of Alabama this afternoon, and we are starting to get some reports in about slick spots.
