Winter Weather Advisory Extended for a Few Counties Until Noon; Plus, A Few Local Icing Reports
NWS Birmingham has allowed the Winter Weather Advisory for Blount, Fayette, and Walker counties to expire, but it has been extended for Lamar, Marion, and Winston counties until 12:00 pm. Motorists in those counties will need to continue to use extreme caution out on the roadways as icing may still be possible on bridges and overpasses.
