After enduring very cold temperatures and area snow and ice, a return to somewhat warmer conditions will be more than welcome this weekend.
However, accumulating snow was reported on Thursday night and Friday morning in northwest Alabama and southern middle Tennessee, causing some school closings and many other delays. Then as temps continued to bottom out on Friday morning to freezing and below, many areas across north Alabama developed icing on roads, causing many traffic problems.
A high pressure system will dominate our weekend weather, and as the center of the feature moves east of north Alabama on Saturday, we expect warmer afternoon temps to ensue.
The next wet weather is expected into our region late on Monday, in the form of rain showers and thunderstorms.
Have a safe weekend!
