ABC 33/40 and Townsquare Media Tuscaloosa Chief Meteorologist James Spann says that Tuscaloosa will begin to see temperatures fall to the freezing point by 3 p.m. this afternoon. This means that roadways and bridges could begin to ice over, so commuters are urged to use extreme caution when headed home.
