Winter Storm Watch for Alabama
A winter storm is anticipated this weekend across Alabama, particularly affecting the northern regions where winter storm watches have been issued. Precipitation may begin as early as Friday night and continue through Sunday night, with the potential for a mix of cold rain, freezing rain, sleet, and snow. The National Weather Service indicates that areas north of the Interstate 20 corridor could experience significant wintry weather, including 2 to 3 inches of snow and sleet, along with possible ice accumulation of up to a quarter-inch.
Power outages and tree damage are concerns in areas with heavy ice accumulation. Residents are advised to prepare for potential power outages by stocking up on essential supplies. The forecast remains uncertain, as it depends on the trajectory of a low-pressure system expected to develop near the Gulf Coast. A more northern path could lead to warmer temperatures and shift precipitation patterns further north. A winter storm watch is in effect for several counties in both northern and central Alabama from Friday evening through Sunday afternoon.
