Noon Update

* Greetings from the parking lot of Wings Restaurant in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Gotta love wireless internet! I'm up here for an eye appointment this morning, and have had a chance to review the latest computer model guidance...

* The 12z GFS brings the freezing line to roughly I-20 Sunday morning, with some light precipitation lingering. So, we'll introduce the chance of some very light freezing drizzle along and north of a line from Newton to Macon. Still doesn't look like a big deal, even if it occurs. Ground temps are warm, so any icing that occurs would be limited to elevated surfaces and bridges. Temperatures will warm back above freezing Sunday afternoon, leaving us with a cold rain.

* Farther north, its a different story. We expect a major ice and snow event for the I-40 corridor, including places like Little Rock, Jonesboro, Memphis, Jackson (TN), Nashville...with the chance of serious icing as far south as Greenville, Tupelo, and Huntsville. This is a quickly evolving setup, so continue to check back here as we refine the forecast...

* Off to meet some friends for lunch before zipping back to Meridian.

Isn't it true that most snow and/or ice storms in our area actually start on weekends and not weekdays (to prevent school closing).

Also true that they start on weekends so Josh will not be held responsible,
