Snow Showers Possible in Alabama Tonight [VIDEO]

Portions of Alabama could see snow showers tonight and early Tuesday morning.  The latest forecast from the National Weather Service calls for rain changing over to snow this evening; snow showers could begin in Alabama as early as 6 p.m.

Little to no accumulation is expected from this bit of winter weather; however, temperatures are forecast to drop below freezing tonight which could create icing on bridges or roadways.
