Forecast Notes

* Cold weather has arrived. Temperatures today only reached the upper 40's and lower 50's across much of east Mississippi and west Alabama. Snow flurries were reported as far south as Birmingham.

* Dry weather will last through tomorrow, but clouds will increase tomorrow afternoon. Rain moves in here tomorrow night. We are still watching for the possibility of some wet snow mixing in with the rain. At this time, it appears that temperatures in the lowest 5000' of the atmosphere will be too warm to support frozen precipitation. However, I have a hunch that someone could see a few wet snowflakes here and there. Doesn't look like a big deal at this time, but we'll keep an eye on things. One concern I have is that the precipitation falling into the atmosphere may cause it to cool below freezing, giving us more snowflakes than we anticipate. We'll watch it.

* The rest of the forecast looks cool and mostly dry, with moisture-starved shortwaves moving through in this northwesterly flow aloft.

* Will post again between 5-7 tonight!
