Potential snowfall

**31 ALERT DAY FOR TONIGHT-WEDNESDAY MORNING**

**WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FROM 9PM - WEDNESDAY 11AM**

A 31 Alert Day remains in place for overnight into Wednesday morning ahead of light snowfall. 

Snow will begin as early as midnight in the Shoals and gradually spread east through the early hours of Wednesday morning. By about 9am snow will be ending across the area. 

Updated snowfall amounts leave the Shoals and Southern Tennessee the most accumulation with 1-2" possible. A dusting to 1" is possible for the remainder of NW Alabama to the Athens/Decatur/Âé¶¹´«Ã½/Scottsboro area. For the rest of north Alabama, little in the way of accumulation is expected.

The biggest impacts will be to bridges and overpasses where a few slick spots could develop as temperatures hover near to just below freezing overnight.

Some melting will likely occur Wednesday afternoon as temperatures climb a few degrees above freezing under mostly cloudy skies.

Bitter cold will follow for the rest of the week. Morning lows Thursday and again Friday morning will dip into the low to mid teens. The wind chill early Thursday will likely be in the single digits. Highs Thursday afternoon will stay just below freezing. Temperatures stay cold Friday with highs only in the upper 30s.

Temperatures will bounce back into the 50s over the weekend, although morning will remain cold.

By next week it's back to early spring conditions with highs returning to the 60s starting on Monday.

TONIGHT: Cloudy, snow starting. 31 ALERT DAY IN EFFECT. Lows in the upper 20s. Wind: NE 10-15 mph.

WEDNESDAY: Snow ends early. Cloudy and cold. Highs in the mid 30s. Wind: N 10-15 mph.
