MONTGOMERY, AL (WSFA) - Doppler 12 StormVision meteorologist Josh Johnson says weather models are trending a bit colder and as a result, the snow line is being moved south.

Wednesday morning the National Weather Service upgraded its winter storm watch to a warning meaning snow accumulation is possible as far south as Troy Wednesday evening.

One to 2 inches of snow are forecast for an area that includes Montgomery, Wetumpka, Selma Auburn, Prattville, Wetumpka, Billingley and points in between.

MONTGOMERY, AL (WSFA) - "The jury is back...the verdict is in. There is no electronic based cause for unintended high speed acceleration in Toyotas, period," says United States Department of Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood.

While he believes the case is closed, Graham Esdale at the Montgomery-based Beasley Allen law firm says Toyota isn't out of the woods yet.

"We think the book is still open," says Esdale.

Esdale is confident he has research and testimony from victims in Toyota crashes to prove electronics are still a factor with the cars' accelerators.

"We know this is occurring and it's occurring in much greater numbers in Toyotas despite some contrary evidence of what NASA looked at."
