[3/15/26] Significant Severe Weather Event Unfolding Today into Early Monday ema.alabama.gov/14323/signific…

Weather doesn't clock out at 5 PM. Nighttime storms are twice as dangerous because they are harder to see and harder to hear. If there's a threat in the forecast. Know your plan before going to bed.

Don’t let black ice sneak up on you! When recent rain or snowmelt meets freezing temperatures, black ice can form — and you might not even see it. Be #WinterReady and stay safe on the road by slowing down, increasing following distance, avoiding sudden turns, and staying alert.

#DYK strong winds can increase the hazards of driving? Stay off the roads if severe weather is in your forecast today. If you must drive, check the FEMA App before leaving: fema.gov/app. If you get caught in a storm, slow down & leave extra space between cars. #ReadyAL

Our furry friends can get cold too. Keep them safe this winter by limiting their time outdoors during freezing temps. If you choose to go on a short walk, make sure you wipe their paws - ice melting chemicals can make them sick! For more tips: ready.gov/pets #ReadyAL

If you're on the roads during a winter storm, stay in your car & turn on hazards. Call for help & share your location. Move around to stay warm. Signal for help with a bright cloth. ready.gov/winter-weather #ReadyAL

Extreme winter temperatures continue around the country. Follow these tips when heating up your home: - Never heat your home with a gas stovetop or oven. - Keep portable heaters away from curtains & flammable items. - Regularly circulate fresh air in your rooms. #ReadyAL
