The forecast is calling for lows as cold in the upper teens in parts of Alabama this week. That’s prompted relief groups to open warming stations from the Tennessee Valley to the Gulf coast. Decatur’s Salvation Army, the Compassion Coalition in Tuscaloosa, and Birmingham’s Jimmie Hale Mission are taking part in the effort. A half dozen are opening in the Mobile area, including Central Presbyterian for families. The Salvation Army is open for men and McKemie Place for women. Close to a twenty more warming stations are opening in Etowah and Cullman Counties.
