Quick Check 10:30 a.m.

Temperatures are slowly falling across North and Central Alabama at this hour.

The graphic gives a rough approximation of the freezing line at this hour.

It was 30F with light freezing rain at last report at Decatur.

As temperatures fall to freezing, any light drizzle or light rain that falls will create a light craze on exposed objects such as trees, signs, railings and grass. There could also be some light icing of roads, especially on bridges, as temperatures continue to fall. With temperatures quickly going below freezing, patches of black ice may form and be a problem through the overnight.

A winter weather advisory is in effect until noon for Colbert, Lauderdale, Franklin, Cullman, Lawrence and Morgan Counties. Another is in effect until 3 p.m. for Madison, Limestone, Marshall, Jackson and DeKalb Counties.

The icing conditions could extend down into Lamar, Marion, northern Fayette and Winston Counties as well.

Be prepared for slippery conditions if you will be driving.

Freezing temperatures will reach the Birmingham area a little faster than I just said…probably around 3-4 p.m.
