North Alabama counties removed from the Winter Storm Warning: Colbert, Cullman, DeKalb, Franklin, Jackson, Lauderdale, Lawrence, Limestone, Madison, Marshall, and Morgan.

The Winter Storm Warning that was in effect for portions of north central, northeast and northwest Alabama along with southern middle Tennessee has been canceled. While a brief changeover from rain to snow late tonight into Tuesday morning may still result in some light accumulations of snowfall, higher accumulations resulting from moderate to occasionally heavy snow is no longer expected at this time. Therefore, the winter storm warning has been canceled.

A Winter Storm Warning continues until 12:00 pm today for Bibb, Blount, Calhoun, Cherokee, Clay, Cleburne, Etowah, Fayette, Greene, Hale, Jefferson, Lamar, Marengo, Marion, Perry, Pickens, Randolph, Shelby, St. Clair, Sumter, Talladega, Tuscaloosa, Walker, and Winston counties.

A strong cold front will move into central Alabama late Monday night and Tuesday morning. Rain will change over to snow as early as midnight Monday night in the northwest, with the rain to snow transition line moving southeastward through the morning on Tuesday. Snow will come to an end around noon on Tuesday in the east. While snow may fall for only one to four hours at a given location, it could be heavy at times, with accumulations of 1 to 3 inches across the warning area. Amounts under two inches are expected in the advisory area. Temperatures will fall below freezing across the warning area and portions of the advisory area, resulting in potentially dangerous travel conditions. This will impact the morning commute, especially along the Interstate 20 corridor.

A Winter Weather Advisory continues until 12:00 pm today for Autauga, Chambers, Chilton, Coosa, Dallas, Elmore, and Tallapoosa counties.
