Tallahassee, FL – Residents across portions of southeast Alabama, the Florida Panhandle, and south-central to southwest Georgia are under a Winter Weather Advisory as light snowfall is expected early Sunday morning, potentially impacting travel and outdoor plans.
According to the National Weather Service in Tallahassee, the advisory goes into effect from 4 a.m. EST (3 a.m. CST) through noon Sunday, with total snow accumulations up to one inch possible in isolated areas. While significant snowfall is not expected, even small amounts could cause slick conditions, especially during the early morning hours.
The advisory includes communities such as Dothan, Enterprise, Bainbridge, Marianna, Pelham, Moultrie, Thomasville, Donalsonville, and surrounding rural areas across Houston and Geneva counties in Alabama, parts of the Florida Panhandle, and southwest Georgia. The affected region stretches across multiple counties and is considered unusual for this part of the Southeast.
Forecasters say the light accumulations will mainly be confined to grassy surfaces, but bridges, overpasses, and untreated roads could briefly become slick, particularly before sunrise. Drivers heading out early Sunday are urged to use caution and allow extra travel time.
Temperatures are expected to remain near or below freezing during the morning hours, increasing the risk of icy patches even where snow totals remain minimal. The weather system is expected to move out by late morning, with conditions gradually improving by midday.
Motorists are encouraged to check the latest road conditions by dialing 511 in their state and to monitor local forecasts for updates as the system moves through.
