SKYCAM Update

Watching our Hamilton SKYCAM… looks like rain mixed with snow flakes right now; 37 degrees up in Marion County.

Don’t forget, we will be on the live stream on abc3340.com tonight at 7:00… join us then.

Again… here are our main bullet points for tonight’s storm system:

*One to three inches of snow, mainly in grassy areas, along and north of U.S. 278, or north of a line from Hamilton to Cullman to Gadsden. There could be some icy spots in bridges in this area late tonight, but the roads will most likely remain only wet because of the relatively warm soil. The exception could be in some of the high terrain locations over Northeast Alabama, where a few roads could become snow covered.

*Around one inch of snow for the I-20 corridor, including Birmingham, Tuscaloosa, and Anniston. Again, this will be on grassy areas. The roads will be only wet, and travel problems are not expected.

*A dusting all the way way to U.S. 80, or a line from Demopolis to Montgomery to Opelika. No travel problems here.

*There could be some convective snow late tonight and early tomorrow that could produce local areas of higher accumulation. We might even hear of a report of thundersnow somewhere.

*This is nothing like the Blizzard of 1993 for Alabama. Not in the same league.

*The heaviest snow should be northwest of Alabama, in the general area from Greenville, MS to Memphis to Louisville and on to Cincinnati and Buffalo. Many spots in this band will have over five inches of snow.

*Tomorrow will be cold; we stay in the 30s all day with a wind chill index below freezing at times.
