A potentially historic snow event is possible across the southern half of the area, especially for areas along the coast.

Major impacts are expected across the entire area, even across locations that receive minor accumulations.

This event is expected to be primarily snow; however, there could be some sleet that tries to mix in across the FL Panhandle.

Patchy light snow may start by 6am across southwest Alabama and southeast Mississippi and as early as 9am further east across south central AL and the NW FL Panhandle. The heaviest accumulations are expected late morning through the afternoon.

Temperatures will drop into the teens and low 20s Tuesday night/Wednesday morning.

Highs Wednesday will only reach the mid to upper 30s, so it is likely snow/ice on roads and bridges will still be a concern for Wednesday night/Thursday morning.

Mostly clear skies on Wednesday may help to melt some of the snow/ice on area roadways, but any residual moisture will refreeze at night.
