A cold front is pushing toward the southeast and it has already entered Northwest Alabama this evening. We estimate that the front is now within about 30 or 40 miles of Birmingham and Tuscaloosa. It is sharply colder behind the front. Precipitation has changed from light rain to light snow over extreme NW Alabama and by late tonight, we may see some light snow as far south as Birmingham.
However, as the night goes on, there will be less moisture for Central Alabama
