Heavy Sleet Now Moving Into The Birmingham Metropolitan Area

| January 6, 2017 @ 5:30 pm

Heavy sleet is now making its way into Jefferson County and into the Birmingham Metropolitan Area. Travel conditions could start to deteriorate quickly as it starts.

We are now looking at a possible icing conditions throughout the event, as some ice accumulations will be possible throughout the area, with the best odds of higher accumulation totals along the I-20 corridor.

Road closures and flight cancellations are coming in from across the area. My previous post includes those announced so far (before 5:30 PM). We’ll keep you posted.
