It will continue to be snow over the northernmost counties of the Tennessee valley tomorrow morning.

Snow accumulations could look like this by morning:

With a little ice just south of there.

Freezing rain and snow along with some sleet will intensify through the day Monday:

Freezing rain will begin over North Central Alabama between 5-7 p.m. Monday:

The band of freezing rain will spread southward through midnight Monday night:

The freezing rain will begin to move out by 3 a.m. Tuesday morning:

Tuesday highs will stay below freezing with a cold northwest wind gusting to 20 mph, which will push wind chill values below zero over the northern third of the state state with sincgle digits across Central Alabama and teens into South Alabama.
