A winter storm warning remains in effect for most of Central, and parts of Southwest Alabama, through early tomorrow morning. Rain, freezing rain, and sleet is falling generally along and south of I-20, with only light snow flurries to the north, where a Winter Weather Advisory is in effect. A nose of warm air aloft, […]
A large area of sleet and snow is about to enter West Alabama… With temperatures dropping below freezing, icy spots will develop on bridges soon after the precipitation begins, and driving conditions will worsen this afternoon and tonight as snow/sleet continues to increase. *Initially ice will form on bridges, but all roads have potential to […]
WINTER STORM WARNING EXPANDED: The NWS has expanded the Winter Storm Warning; it now includes the larger cities of Birmingham, Tuscaloosa, Anniston, and Gadsden through early tomorrow… Winter Weather Advisories include much of the rest of Alabama, all the way down to the northern part of Mobile and Baldwin Counties in Southwest Alabama. Only the […]
Not much change in our overall thinking this morning. Most of Central Alabama will have a cold rain today with some sleet in the mix, but to the north a wintry mix of light snow, sleet and freezing rain will continue this afternoon. The NWS in Huntsville has issued a winter weather advisory for Colbert, […]
A mix of rain and sleet continues over North Alabama this afternoon. Temperatures are in the 40s and there are no travel issues. Sleet becomes all rain later today, tonight, and tomorrow, and that rain could be heavy at times. Scroll down for a complete discussion; I will have a fresh Weather Xtreme video and […]
Light rain and sleet has formed over West Alabama… it is moving slowly to the east, and most of this is evaporating before reaching the ground. Precipitation should be very light, and not enough to measure…

The NWS Huntsville has issued a winter weather advisory for their county warning area up in the Tennessee Valley of extreme North Alabama. No doubt there will be some sleet and a few snowflakes up there for the next few hours, but temperatures are well above freezing, and quite frankly I don’t expect any travel […]
Seems like the door is open for some minor winter weather mischief over North Alabama Monday night as the next batch of precipitation moves into the state. Below is the RPM output valid at 11:30 local time Monday night… The precipitation will initially fall through very dry air in the low levels, and this evaporative […]
Scroll down for Jason’s post and our updated thinking for tonight and tomorrow. The wintry precipitation is well ahead of schedule, with lots of light sleet falling around this state, with some freezing rain and snow involved in spots. This is what is looks like at my current location, the rest area on I-59/20 near […]
Many folks woke up to the sound of sleet bouncing off their decks and windows and striking the leaves around their homes and apartments on this Saturday morning. Sleet is like the Rice Krispies of the weather world, with lots of snap, crackle and pop, but fortunately its not really hazardous. Having said that, if […]
Just received a report at 12:52 of light rain/sleet mixed at Bluff Park with a temperature of 34F. Another report of some sleet in Hoover. We appreciate any reports you can give out there across the area overnight…just add a comment…next update by 2:30 a.m. Redrew this map slightly after looking at temperatures in the […]
