Much of the listening area in and south of Wayne and Edwards counties is under a winter weather advisory until 6 tomorrow morning. A band of snow is expected to spread east along Interstate 64 late this afternoon and through the evening, with an inch of accumulation likely. Light freezing rain could also create a thin glaze on top of snow overnight.
The Albion Fire Department was called to a mobile home fire at Pleasant Hill Trailer Court yesterday afternoon. Chief Danny Iverson says an electric blanket was plugged in to an extension cord which shorted out, causing nearby clothing to catch fire. Chief Iverson reported no injuries from the incident and only minimal damage.
