...Black Ice and Freezing Fog Possible for Portions of Northeast

Alabama This Morning...

Lingering moisture from recent wintry precipitation, in combination

with very cold temperatures, has created patches of black ice on a

number of area roadways, including some major highways. Bridges and

overpasses, especially those crossing the Tennessee River, are

especially at risk. For a complete list of affected roadways, consult

local media outlets.

In addition, freezing fog has developed in several locations. This

fog will be capable of depositing a thin layer of ice on exposed

surfaces. Again, bridges, overpasses, and elevated highways are most

at risk.

Black ice can be especially dangerous because you may not be able to

see it until you have already encountered it. If traveling, use

extreme caution, especially on bridges, overpasses, and elevated

highways where water freezes first. Do not assume that a well

traveled road will be free of ice.

Stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio, or a favorite local media outlet,

for further statements or updates from the National Weather Service

in Huntsville.

Melting snow and ice runoff is expected to refreeze over roadways

overnight as lows drop into the 20s area wide. Back roads,

neighborhoods, bridges, off-ramps, and overpasses are most

susceptible to freezing and black ice. Areas of ice will be hard

to identify at night. If travel is necessary, use extreme caution.

...Areas of Black Ice and Icy Roadways Tonight and Early Sunday

Morning...

The melting of the snow and ice today will refreeze tonight and

early Sunday morning as temperatures drop into the teens most

locations. Areas of black ice and continued snow and ice covered

roadways, especially secondary roads, will result in slick,

hazardous travel.

When traveling tonight and Sunday morning, use caution and slow

down. Give yourself extra room between you and the vehicle ahead

of you. Allow additional time to reach your destination.

For Sunday, sunshine will return with temperatures warming into

the 30s to near 40 degrees in the afternoon.

...ICY ROADS EXPECTED TONIGHT ACROSS NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA...

Sub-freezing temperatures tonight, coupled with lingering moisture

and slush on roadways, will lead to slick spots and patches of

black ice. Ice on roads can be very difficult or impossible to

see at night. Temperatures across most areas will drop below

freezing by early Saturday evening, with temperatures not rising

above freezing until at least mid-morning Sunday.

Use extra caution while driving and slow down to reduce your

risk. Avoid sudden breaking or rapid lane changes if possible.

NOTES:

Here are the early snowfall total reports from yesterday's winter storm. 

Roads continue to be slick, and it is still important to protect people, pets, plants, and pipes from this cold spell we are still going through. A snowpack still on the ground naturally makes for a colder night. 

DISCUSSION:

Here at 9:15 PM CDT it is clear with perfect 10 miles of visibility in Cullman. The temperature is 26.6 degrees, but we'll round it up to 27. The dewpoint is also 26.6 degrees, making the relative humidity 100%. Winds are calm. The pressure is 30.05 inches and steady. 

Our High today was 37 degrees, and our current temperature of 27 is our Low so far. So I'm not even going to bother with Low temps for other nearby sites. They might be still "to be determined" before we get to midnight. 

But a quick look at High temperatures: Jasper made it up to 43 today under partly to mostly sunny skies. Haleyville made it up to 40 degrees. Huntsville had a High of 38. And Nashville had a High of 34. 

So there are still a lot of slick roads out there. Even the least bit of moisture can refreeze. 

Anyway our snowmaker is well out of here and being replaced by a high pressure system moving in from the Southwest. 

Tomorrow we'll see sunny skies as that High moves through here. We should start the day about 15 degrees (so again, protect pipes, pets, but especially people from this cold) and warm up to about 42 in the afternoon. Winds should stay light but could still make it feel like it's in the 20's most of the day. This is the day most of our melting of the snow and iced-over roads should happen though. Major travel issues should be over by tomorrow night for most places, even up along and just North of the Tennessee border. But remember, any moisture at all can refreeze and aggravate at least the elevated roadways like on bridges, even if it's only fog freezing there, but certainly after leftover rainwater . . . so still please be careful. Saw a lot of accidents with this system, seems like Morgan County especially got several this go-round. Even though the major impact of this system is over, some caution is still wise like tomorrow night, Monday morning. 

If you're well up into Tennessee, then the next few days, you need to pay extra attention for any refreezing, since the thawing out will take longer in Central and Northern Tennessee, colder temperatures overall up there, which is how it usually goes. Main issue would be for secondary roads. I think the main roads will likely be okay, or mostly okay, by Monday and beyond, for places like Nashville.

A system will affect Southern Alabama on Monday, but we'll stay dry in North Alabama. We'll be mostly sunny with a High near 40, Low near 30. We'll have enough moisture to keep us from being so brutally cold at night anyway. 

But in the wake of that system, we'll have another shot of really cold air despite sunny skies, starting the day in the upper 10's and only warming up to about 40 degrees, struggling to get there. 

Then Wednesday looks sunny with a High near 40, Low near 20. 

Another sunny day Thursday with Highs rising into the mid-to-upper-40's, the Low staying down in the lower 20's. 

Looks like our upper-level wind flow becomes more zonal from the West on Friday as the High pressure exits to our Northeast. We should be mostly sunny around here with a High of 50 or so, Low rebounding to near 30. 

Then Saturday looks wet, another front coming in, rain showers likely, High in the lower 50's, the Low near 40. 

And our rainfall totals are expected to average about a half-inch.

Winter Storm Watch

 

2:42 AM - For some reason, it took Birmingham a little longer to get theirs out than other local offices, so that's the reason for the awkward editing here of shoe-horning in the text and graphics including counties like Winston and Walker after having made the post originally and trying to gather everyone at one time. 

The local offices do agree on the basics. We have a winter storm brewing for Friday in North Alabama and Southern Middle Tennessee, with significant snowfall accumulations possible for many of us. 

The Birmingham office serving Walker, Winston, Blount, Fayette, etc. does note - and I think they're right to - that some of it may mix with sleet and freezing rain. The NAM was showing that messy setup yesterday, at least for counties that are on the borderline of what you'd call North Alabama versus Central Alabama. Any ice accumulation presents a little different situation than if it was all snow. So be aware of that too.

NOTES:

There was a tornado confirmed in Pickens County, a little to our Southwest, Sunday night. And the National Weather Service in Birmingham also put together a great page of all the severe weather from December 28-29. The National Weather Service in Huntsville has not put together a comprehensive page like this for North Alabama, and frankly, I don't feel like digging through all their Public Information Statements to put it together myself when we have a potential winter storm brewing for our area. Archives can wait. 

Will just note that a tornado did hit Athens that night of the 28th, and it came out of a Severe Thunderstorm Warning. A Tornado Watch was also in effect beforehand, and I'm pretty sure the text of this (severe thunderstorm) warning made it clear that a tornado could quickly develop, in addition to the threat for damaging straight-line winds. So nobody should have been caught off guard by this. And fortunately did not hear of any injuries, just some damage. Property can be replaced. 

We already have a Winter Storm Watch in effect for the counties of Western Tennessee. 

So here are some tips from NOAA about staying safe in winter weather. 

DISCUSSION:

It was a mostly overcast, breezy day in the Tennessee Valley, though many of us did also see periods of sunshine. The High in Cullman was only 32 with a morning Low of 26. Wind chills have been in the upper teens or lower 20's today. Jasper saw a High of 36 and Low of 28. Haleyville had a High of 31 and Low of 25. 

Huntsville saw a High of 33 and Low of 28. Nashville had a High of 31 and Low of 28. 

Tomorrow looks mostly sunny with still a North/Northwest breeze. We'll start the day about 21-22 degrees and then only warm up to about 38-39 in the afternoon. Wind chills should stay in the 20's through the day. 

Then Thursday with high pressure moving through the region, we'll start the day near 20 degrees or even upper teens (about 17-20 range) and then warm up to about 40 degrees in the afternoon, actually plenty of sunshine. 

Some people are saying the snow will start Thursday night, but technically if it's after midnight, that's Friday morning. And that's how I'm going to count it. Looks like the snow comes in Friday even if some starts in the early morning hours. 

It does look like that Low is going to be in a very favorable position to produce a winter storm over North Alabama and Southern Middle Tennessee. And the precipitation should start during the dark hours Friday morning. Here we are at midday, and the GFS is now showing it as all snow up here in the Northern third of Alabama up into Tennessee. 

The NAM has a messier look, where some of it along the junction of North/Central Alabama (so counties like Walker, Blount, Etowah or just South of those counties) may go through a time of freezing rain mixed in with the snow. Either way, I think it is safe to put accumulating snow (and maybe some ice for some folks) in the forecast now. 

Forecasting a High near 33, Low near 25 for Friday, snow likely, and it should accumulate for most of us. May mention a low risk of accumulating ice (freezing rain) in the forecast, will give that some more thought after finishing this discussion down here. 

I'm not sure how much I believe the possibility of a warm nose of air hampering the all-snow mode during the day Friday with this one, because it is going to start in the wee hours of the morning, and just from past experience, a setup like this, you usually get mostly snow, not a lot of freezing rain. Could see a good bit of sleet. But I'll keep in mind that it's a close call as you get more into Central Alabama, between the snow areas and the rain areas, some places may see more of an icing problem. Not sure if Walker County and such places will have that issue or if they'll basically just see snow like the rest of us up here. Either way, this will cause travel impacts. As one forecaster put it, get where you need to be by Midnight going into Friday. 

The snow should last Friday night into early Saturday morning, but by midday, it's out of here, any new flakes, looks like. We'll see gradually decreasing clouds, a High in the lower-to-mid-30's (snowpack keeping temperatures down) and a Low in the mid-to-upper-20's. 

So if you get a decent snow Friday, wouldn't expect too much melting Saturday. 

Then on Sunday, we have more opportunity for folks to recover from the roads getting snowy or icy, plenty of sunshine, we'll warm to the upper 30's or maybe even make it up to 40 in the afternoon. Morning Low should be down in the 10's though. 

Then next Monday looks mostly sunny with a High of 40 or so, Low in the lower-to-mid-20's. 

Tuesday looks mostly sunny, High near 40, Low in lower 20's. 

A significant winter storm is likely here Friday. 

And I really like what the Birmingham weather office has done here, instead of focusing so much on exact snowfall totals yet, they are focusing on travel impacts. And clearly up here in the Northern third of Alabama is the worst zone for that. 

As the Huntsville office notes, South of the Tennessee River is the best chance for a wintry mix that includes some freezing rain/ice accumulation. North of the TN River I'd bank on it all being snow/sleet. 

And my personal estimate of snowfall totals is anywhere from 1-3 inches South of the TN River, and roughly 3-6 inches North of the River. 

There are hazards to this for grown folks to worry about, mainly just not driving once the roads get bad (which will likely happen for many of us before daybreak Friday) and waiting until they are safe again (probably Sunday for many of us). 

But if you've got kids, they should love this. They'll get a day off school, three-day weekend, and this looks like one of those good snows that you just don't see every year around here. 

So be safe, stay warm, and . . . enjoy.
