Snow Showers in North Alabama
There is an upper-level feature working across the Tennessee Valley today and it is producing enough uplift and instability to allow clouds and some snow showers to develop in the region. Clouds are spreading to the southeast today and these should mainly affect northern and eastern portions of Alabama. The rest of the state is experiencing almost all sunshine this afternoon.
The snow showers are showing up well on the regional radar as they are covering many areas of the Tennessee Valley. Of course no accumulations because the ground is so warm, and actually air temps are in the 40s in these areas. There is enough cold air and moisture aloft to allow this rare springtime spectacle.
Pictures via social media show some areas are seeing decent snow showers. There will be no travel issues or anything like that, just a reminder the winter of 2014 is not quite done.
