James Spann, ABC 33/40, and Townsquare Media Tuscaloosa Chief Meteorologist has given us more insight on the snow potential. He said that it “looks like there will be some light accumulation over parts of North Alabama. Amounts will be generally 1/2 to 1 inch across the Tennessee Valley (the far northern part of the state), mostly on grassy areas. Meaningful accumulation isn't expected as far south as Birmingham, Tuscaloosa, Anniston, and Gadsden, but the ground could become white in a few spots.”

Spann also noted that on Friday night the Storm Prediction Center has “defined a "slight risk" (level 2/5) of severe thunderstorms south of a line from Mobile to Phenix City, with a "marginal risk" (level 1/5) as far north as Thomasville, Prattville, and Roanoke.”

Travel Notes for the Tennessee Valley

For Saturday, Spann commented that ’ there could be a few isolated slick spots on bridges across the Tennessee Valley, but only minor travel impacts are expected there.”
