Numerous reports of snow early on this Saturday morning. Many reports of large flakes but, so far, generally light accumulations mainly on grassy areas, roofs and cars.
Over in Mississippi, light snow continues over about the north half of the state but not as extensive as earlier. Also, light snow as far back as North Louisiana.
At 3:44 am, NWS/Huntsville changed Heavy Snow and Winter Storm Warnings to a Snow Advisory for their Extreme North Alabama counties, so all counties in North and Central Alabama are now under a Snow Advisory.

So far, no lightning indicated but it is a lot colder aloft so a few reports of “thundersnow” possible. Remember that rare event happening in the wee morning hours during the Blizzard of ’93–the so called “Storm of the Century.”
The main surface low pressure area is now centered over the SW corner of Virginia
