Watching An Approaching ‘Significant’ Ice Storm

Eyes are on the weather as forecasters are calling for the potential for a significant ice storm Sunday evening and early Monday morning across interior South Alabama, and North Escambia residents are watching as the “ice line” draws ever closer.

Forecasters are becoming increasingly concerned that a significant area of icing could form on trees, power lines, bridges and overpasses by Sunday night over interior South Alabama.

“Trying to pinpoint the exact area of icing is difficult,” the National Weather Service said.

The Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) said late Saturday night that they are ready to respond to icy bridge and road conditions that might develop.

“The approaching winter storm has the potential to be the most severe Alabama has seen in recent memory,” said ALDOT Director Joe McInnes. “The safest advice for the public is to avoid driving. ALDOT crews have been preparing and will work to keep roads passable for as long as safely possible, but the National Weather Service has said travel will become nearly impossible at some point.”

The weather forecast for Escambia and Santa Rosa counties currently calls for just a very cold rain. NorthEscambia.com will keep the forecast updated throughout the day Sunday.
