HUNTSVILLE, AL - Officials now think Madison County may be "very lucky" and miss the worst of a winter storm icing roads just 20 miles north.
Meeting for a 4 p.m. briefing at the local Emergency Management Agency situation room, Mayor Tommy Battle and key members of the police, utiities and street departments, among others, heard the latest forecast.
Lows tonight are expected to be between 30 and 34, National Weather Service forecasters said, with highs Saturday in the mid-30s fore dropping into the teens Saturday night.
Enough moisture remains in the area to make snow accumulations of an inch and ice accumulations of .3 inch, forecasters said.
Officials planned to wait until later tonight to decide whether to close bridges and overpasses.
