The Winter Storm Warning, which impacts most portions of southeast Alabama, Panhandle Florida and southwest Georgia, will be in effect from noon central on Tuesday, January 21, until 6 a.m. central Wednesday, January 22. Our area is also, as of Monday afternoon, under a Freeze Warning and a Cold Weather Advisory.
