Some Travel Issues Possible Over The Next Couple Of Hours In Northeast Alabama

| February 8, 2020 @ 10:06 am

As of 9:50 am, the snow has almost made it all of the ways into northwestern Georgia, but snow showers continue for eastern Dekalb County and much of Cherokee County. Precipitation that is falling for the rest of North/Central Alabama is good old-fashioned rain.

All of the major reporting stations are now above freezing. Fort Payne is the cold spot at 33 degrees. The rest of North/Central Alabama is now in the mid-30s to the upper 40s across the area from northeast to the southwest. As a matter of fact, Montgomery has already hit 50 degrees.

The Winter Weather Advisory has just been canceled for Calhoun, Cherokee, Cleburne, and Etowah counties. As of now, it continues for Dekalb and Jackson counties.

Once the skies clear, any snow on the roadways and on the ground should quickly melt and you’ll be back to looking at grass and pavement by this evening.

We just received a report in on NWS Chat that Hwy 117 in Flat Top (Jackson County) from the top of the mountain to the four-way stop has become very slick. Once again, please delay your trip on the roadways in that part of the area until this afternoon if possible. Those Travel issues in Cherokee County continue as well. So far, those are the only reports.

Here are some Local Storm Reports from NWS Chat on snow totals so far…
