Fun Times...

* This is among my favorite times of the year in the world of weather forecasting. We can see it all in December - snow, severe weather, warmth are all possible. I guess the things we don't see around here in December are hurricanes. No complaints here. We have a lot of fun ahead, so we'll get right to our thinking...

* Tomorrow sure looks wet. Periods of rain, heavy at times, will occur through the afternoon and evening hours. Some neighborhoods could end up with over one inch of rain by the time the rain tapers off late tomorrow night.

* Thursday and Friday look dry and cool.

* Our next system will approach in time for the weekend. We expect a cold rain around here, with highs struggling to reach 50 degrees. Parts of northernmost Mississippi, Alabama and much of Tennessee could see some wintry weather out of this system. There is some chance that we could see a few sleet pellets at the onset of the precipitation, but there will be no accumulation and it will not be a big deal. Any sleet will change very quickly to a chilly rain.

Computer model guidance continues to waffle on the exact amount of precipitation expected with this system. So, we'll just have to watch it unfold for a few more days before delving into the specifics of how much rain we expect.

* The models hint at a very significant upper trough by the middle of next week, with a surface low forming somewhere in the Gulf of Mexico. This is generally a setup that is favorable for some wintry precipitation somewhere across the Deep South. Obviously, it's far too early to try and pinpoint where and exactly when...It's just something we'll have to keep an eye on over the next few days...
