The southern half of Alabama will enter an officially declared State of Emergency this afternoon as a winter storm threatens to disrupt travel and create dangerous conditions there on Tuesday.
In a meteorological oddity, it looks like the most significant impacts from the winter storm moving in tomorrow through Wednesday will be south of Demopolis.
Schools across Alabama, including some in our coverage area, are making the decision to close on Tuesday as winter weather including snow and freezing rain is expected to impact much of the state.
