Full Notification

A strong cold front will move into Central Alabama late Monday night and Tuesday morning. Rain will change over to snow as early as midnight Monday night in the northwest with the rain to snow transition line moving southeastward through the morning on Tuesday. Snow will come to an end around noon on Tuesday. While snow will only fall for a couple hours at a given location, it may be heavy at times resulting in accumulations of 1 to 2 inches with isolated higher amounts.
