A massive winter storm set the stage for a brutal travel day Sunday, with airlines warning of widespread cancellations and delays at some of the nation's busiest airports. The disappointment of lost flights is being felt in Alabama as well. The website Flightaware says Huntsville International Airport had forty one cancellations as of this morning. Farther south, Birmingham Shuttlesworth International had forty seven.

The National Weather Service in Huntsville says the Tennessee Valley, including the Huntsville area and the Shoals, could be in for a winter emergency starting as soon as Friday night. A cold front from the north combined with moisture coming up from the Gulf of Mexico could lead to roads left impassible by snow and ice.

Alabama is struggling to warm up after a major winter storm blew through the Yellowhammer State. Frigid temperatures are predicted to continue over the next few days, according to local meteorologists, with slightly warmer weather coming to the state by the weekend. Agencies offer advice on how to keep warm during the lingering arctic air.

The forecast calls for frigid temperatures and the threat of black ice on the roads this weekend. This is Alabama’s second arctic blast in just over a week. The last cold snap left up to seven inches of snow, closed schools, and delayed airline flights.
