*TONIGHT/TOMORROW: Freezing drizzle is possible in spots across North Alabama, north of I-59, tonight and tomorrow; some patchy bridge icing is a possibility tomorrow… impact will be fairly limited, but still be very careful on bridges.

 

*TOMORROW NIGHT/MONDAY: The storm system will bring two main waves of wintry weather expected. The first wave will bring ice potential to North and West Alabama Sunday night and early Monday, followed by a second wave Monday afternoon and Monday night. The second wave will bring the heavier ice potential and greatest impact.
