Investigators with the National Weather Service will spend today working to establish the intensity of tornadoes that hit the southern U.S. Unconfirmed twisters in Alabama hit northwest of Tuscaloosa and southeast of the state capitol of Montgomery. One storm near Birmingham picked up a school bus and dropped it on a local high school. Violent weather in Georgia flipped a gas station onto its roof. Roads remain impassable due to downed trees and power lines

The threat of tornadoes moved east into the Mississippi Valley and Deep South on Saturday, a day after a massive storm system moving across the country unleashed winds that damaged buildings, whipped up dust storms that caused deadly crashes and fanned more than 100 wildfires in several central states. Alabama is under what forecasters called a rare “level 5” storm alert.

Forecasters remain concerned over icy conditions in part of Alabama following snowfall that blanketed parts of the state. Temperatures that warmed in the afternoon could freeze this morning when the mercury was expected to drop.

Snowfall is looking more likely for Alabama this week. The National Weather Service said conditions continue to be favorable for the probability of winter precipitation affecting the northern half of the state. This is the prediction for Thursday into Friday.

Forecasters in Alabama say a storm system could bring a wintry precipitation as a multiple day stretch of arctic air blankets the Yellowhammer State. Parts of northern Alabama have a shot at seeing a few snowflakes on Monday, according to the National Weather Service, with more flurry chances across the state later in the week.
