Alabama schools close, go to virtual learning for Friday, Jan. 19 due to winter weather

Icy roads and frigid temperatures continue to interfere with schools, causing some schools to stay closed through Friday. Others are planning for virtual school.

The National Weather Service offices in Huntsville and Birmingham are cautioning those in north Alabama and the northwest part of central Alabama to be on the lookout for some freezing rain through noon today.

Another blast of arctic air is expected to follow today’s weather system, and the weather service is expecting temperatures to plunge again starting on Friday.
