Governor Kay Ivey issued a state of emergency declaration for all Wiregrass counties, beginning Monday at 5 p.m.
“Alabama, once again, is faced with the potential for winter weather, but this time, for the southern half of the state,” Ivey said. We are anticipating potentially dangerous and uncertain driving conditions in the impacted portions of the state, so I am urging Alabamians to err on the side of caution and limit their travel. Make any necessary preparations now, stay tuned in to your weather forecasts and stay warm.”
