Flying Flakes

Through out most of the night, most areas have seen snow flakes flying in the cold air. As we check the radar, it is hard for the radar to see snow, like it does other forms of precip. Currently heaviest snow shower showing up on radar is over western sections of Jefferson County. Reports of snow falling from Oak Grove, Hueytown, Pleasant Grove, Concord and Bessemer. Nothing too heavy and not causing travel problems. Just because it is not showing up on radar, doesn’t mean its not snowing,  most places are seeing flakes flying.

Across the rest of North Alabama, a lot of other snow reports coming in, our Skywatcher Vic Bell in Black Creek reported a passing snow shower this morning produced enough snow to cover the roof tops, but nothing on the ground or roads. We are expecting more snow showers to move in to the state throughout the morning. A look at a regional radar shows heavier and more concentrated snow showers along I-65 from Nashville into southern Kentucky. Those showers will be coming down the interstate and will be into North Alabama in a little while. Still not expecting any travel issues, but some areas could see a dusting today, with most of the snow on roof tops and grassy areas.
