Light snow greeted many across the Tennessee Valley on Monday morning. The higher the elevation of any particular location, the more accumulation was noted. Up to several tenths of an inch was measured in the moutaintops of Jackson and DeKalb counties in Alabama and Franklin County in Tennessee. A light dusting was recorded at WAAY TV on Monte Sano mountain.
A winter weather advisory was issued until noon for the aforementioned counties due to icing on the higher elevation bridges and overpasses.
As you can see on the weather map below, the system responsible for the frozen mix in our area is centered over the Great Lakes. As the low pressure area pulls to the northeast, we will see clearing on Monday night.
High pressure will settle in for Tuesday and Wednesday to offer clearer skies and a slow warm up until the next front, seen above in the Pacific northwest, comes through on Thursday to bring rain showers this in this go’round.
Friday and Saturday are looking dry but chilly. With the WAAY 31 Huntsville Christmas parade coming up on Saturday, let us hope THIS forecast holds in place!
The parade starts at noon on Saturday the 6th of December; hope to see YOU there!
