RAW WINTER DAY: Clouds persist over most of Alabama this afternoon, and temperatures have barely moved from early morning values.

Clouds linger through the day with an icy northwest wind of 15-25 mph. A few snow flurries or showers are likely over the northern counties today, but no impact is expected.
