3:30 AM Update

* Interesting to note that Greenville, Tunica and Memphis are all reporting snow at the 3 am hour. This is a bit puzzling, given the forecast of an elevated layer of warm air. That layer of warm air would serve to melt the snowflake. However, given the recent observations, there could be an isolated pocket of deeper cold air - resulting in more snow than originally forecast for northwest Mississippi and western Tennessee. I'd imagine we'll see a change back over to freezing rain and sleet in those areas later today.

* The 6z model guidance is trickling out as we speak, and things look much the same. The new NAM still supports at least the chance of some sporadic freezing drizzle along the I-20 corridor. We still do not anticipate any travel problems...But, for safety's sake, take it easy on bridges and overpasses Sunday morning. As we all know, these winter weather setups can provide hour-to-hour surprises...We'll be watching things closely.

* I'm going to get some sleep now, been a long day. Renny will be in the office later today and will help me keep this space updated over the weekend...
