Weather service: More snow possible for Thursday

MADISON – After two storm systems brought high winds, heavy rains and up to 5 inches of snow to the area during the weekend, the National Weather Service in Huntsville said residents could get additional snow, although not as much, on Thursday.

The National Weather Service in Huntsville said a tornado that touched down near Triana on Saturday evening and damaged dozens of homes started in Limestone County. The NWS recorded maximum winds of 80 mph in the twister. Another tornado with 85 mph winds was confirmed near Hazel Green.

Nearly all of the nearly 4,000 area households that had electrical power knocked out because of the weekend storms have their power back on and a few roads that were closed have reopened even though low temperatures continue to hover below freezing.

About 3,500 Athens Utilities customers were without power early Monday. By 5 p.m., AU Electric Department Manager Blair Davis said crews had switched as many customers as possible to other power sources and crews were hooking up a mobile transformer to help serve about 1,900 without power in the Greenbrier area.

The National Weather Service is forecasting freezing temperatures for the area tonight with a combination of rain and snow moving in on Thursday.

“It won’t be anything like what we just saw,” said meteorologist Shelly Amin. “The system will move through northern Alabama Thursday afternoon and evening and be gone by Thursday night.”

Today’s high could reach 50, Amin said, with the lows dipping into the upper teens or lower 20s.

Brandy Davis, Morgan County Emergency Management Agency director, said the county was spared any serious damage from downed trees and icy roads Saturday and Sunday.

Officials urged motorists to be cautious of possible refreezing and black ice conditions until temperatures warm.

“There’s always that possibility of water along the roadways, especially in turn lanes, to refreeze overnight,” said Seth Burkett, the Alabama Department of Transportation’s Northern Division spokesman.
