Winter Mix Continues Over North Alabama This Afternoon; Dry And Warmer Tomorrow
RADAR CHECK: The upper trough moving into Alabama has certainly been the overachiever today. Models suggested nothing more than isolated showers, but the cold core system has brought a mix of graupel, sleet, rain, and even a few snow flakes to North/Central Alabama today.
