We are monitoring reports from the Tennessee Valley...thanks to the National Weather Service in Huntsville...they report that areas west of I-65 are receiving mainly sleet.
Traffic accidents being reported in the Shoals area due to icing on roads...
From the blog...
...sleet reported in central Walker County wih icicles beginning to form on exposed objects...
...light freezing rain has been reported around Eva in southern Morgan County
A mix of sleet and freezing rain is likely falling from extreme western Jackson County, back across the Huntsvlle/Decatur area then west over the Shoals area extending down into extreme northern Farnklin County. Colder air continues to filter into these areas and reports of icing will be on the increase acorss Northwest Alabama. Higher elevations will freeze faster. Roads will become slick and hazardous as far south as a line from Sulligent to Jasper to Blount Springs to Jacksonville. Remeber that bridges and overpasses ice first,
Surface Observations at 9 a.m...

Here is Central Alabama, a cold rain is falling. As temperatures fall below freezing late this afternoon and tonight, lingering light drizzle could coat roads and exposed surfaces with a light glaze of ice.
In addition, a chilly north wind is pushing wind chill readings into the 20s.
Keep an eye on outside temperatures as you drive if your car is equipped with a thermometer. As temperatures drop into the middle and lower 30s, be alert for icing on bridges and on all road surfaces as they drop to 32. Slow down and use extreme caution.
Monitor the latest information throughout the day and overnight tonight.
