Digest more
The winter storm departs Sunday night, but the cold intensifies dramatically. Dangerously cold wind chills develop Monday night into Tuesday morning, with readings below zero to the single digits in the mountains and teens across most of the Upstate. Some locations north of I-40 experience single-digit wind chills.
Saturday through Tuesday are days to monitor both winter weather impacts and the dangerous cold. The primary concern is freezing rain, which could lead to hazardous travel conditions and power outages through Sunday in far northwest and northeast Alabama.
A cold weather advisory is in effect until 9am Saturday for the stateline for wind chills as low as -25 to -30 below zero. Skies will stay mostly cloudy at times, with daytime highs climbing into the single digits during the day.
