A large area of snow and sleet is moving into Northwest Alabama, and will continue tonight. Snow amounts could exceed three inches around Florence and Muscle Shoals… amounts of 1-2″ are possible down to places like Hamilton and Haleyville. A “wintry mix” is possible across the winter weather advisory area for a few hours, but precipitation there should change to rain later tonight as warmer air creeps northward.

Road conditions will deteriorate across the winter storm warning area over the next few hours as snow and sleet will increase in intensity.

Townsquare Media Tuscaloosa will continue to monitor the latest forecasts and road conditions and bring you updates as they are made available.
