…John Talbot monitoring situation on Red Mountain Expressway, which is a parking lot this evening. One driver apparently has things tied up. There are wrecks and abandoned cars and law enforcement is fighting a losing battle.
…He reports that the Red Mountain Expressway is closed down headed to the I-59 on-ramps.
…Elevated highways are still a big problem and will be for a while.
…Things have quietened down a good bit in lots of the area… including I-65in the Homewood area. But don’t assume that all areas are fine…there are still lots of problems in many spots, including the Hoover area.
It is 31F at the Birmingham Airport and 32F at Calera now. 31F in Tuscaloosa and 30F in Gadsden. Temperatures continue to slowly edge upward and should do so overnight.
