Bands of snow continue to wrap around an upper level low that is near Montgomery this morning.
We are avoiding major travel problems because of a warm ground, but there are accidents, especially on bridges and overpasses. One is a jackknifed trailer on I-65 at Finley.

END OF THE SNOW
The snow has ended in the Tri-cities, Russellville and Hamilton. It is about to end in Vernon. The back edge of the snow is about 75 miles northwest of Birmingham. It is moving southeast at about 25 mph, so it should end in Birmingham around 11 a.m., unless it stalls.
