Huntsville, Ala. — A winter weather advisory remains in effect until 7 p.m. Monday across northeast Alabama and southern Middle Tennessee, creating the potential for slick roads and light snowfall in higher elevations.
According to the National Weather Service in Huntsville, a trace to around one inch of snow may accumulate in elevated terrain across parts of the Tennessee Valley region during the advisory period.
Forecasters say the primary concern is travel conditions, particularly on bridges, overpasses, and higher-elevation roadways where temperatures may allow snow or light wintry precipitation to briefly accumulate. Even small amounts of snowfall can lead to slippery spots, especially during periods of heavier bursts or colder surface temperatures.
The advisory area includes portions of northeast Alabama and southern Middle Tennessee, including communities near Huntsville, Florence, Russellville, Cullman, Fayetteville and surrounding areas.
The weather service is urging motorists to use caution while traveling, noting that untreated roads may become slick at times. Drivers are advised to slow down, increase following distance, and remain alert for rapidly changing road conditions.
While snowfall totals are expected to remain relatively light, even minor winter weather events can disrupt travel, particularly during morning or evening commuting periods.
For many students, young workers, and commuters across the Tennessee Valley, changing road conditions could affect travel times Monday afternoon and evening.
Residents are encouraged to monitor updates from the National Weather Service and local officials for the latest information on conditions and potential travel impacts.
