Thanks to JB for watching the blog while we had a nice dinner in New Orleans at Felix’s.
Updating the Alabama weather situation at 9:25 p.m…
The NWS Huntsville maintains a freezing rain advisory for DeKalb nd Jackson Counties in Northeast Alabama until midnight. Marshall County has been cleared.
Most of the precipitation has cleared Northeast Alabama at mid-evening. However, there is some light freezing drizzle and mist at higher elevations like Mentone and Monte Sano where readings are at or below 32F. Road surfaces are very cold thanks to the freezing cold of the past couple of days in these areas and pavement is glazed in spots.
Some roads in northern Cherokee County are glazed also.
Take care if you are driving into the higher elevations of Northeast Alabama tonight until temperatures warm above freezing. Warm air advection should continue to push readings up overnight. It will just take longer at higher elevations.
