During the morning of January 16th, a band of light snow moved into Northwest Alabama, and then progressed southward towards the I-20 corridor during the afternoon as it trended toward a weakened state. Due to limited moisture content, snowfall amounts were less than one inch for areas along and north of I-20. An upstream 500mb trough continued to dig southward, with a lobe of energy and associated swath of higher moisture content that would move across the southern portions of Central Alabama, especially along the I-85 corridor. For these areas, between two and four inches of snow fell during the evening of January 16th and into the early-morning hours of the 17th.
