Winter Weather Chances...
* A close call for our friends in northern Mississippi and northern Alabama tonight. Snow has been reported as far south as Birmingham tonight, and light snow accumulations seem likely along and north of US 278. We are far too warm for any snow, but we do anticipate a cold rain throughout much of Monday. The rain will taper off, and much colder weather will continue.* Our next system of concern comes through Wednesday in the form of a shortwave trough embedded in the larger overall trough. We call these systems "clippers", and they generally are very moisture starved. However, it's conceivable that we could see some light rain or snow flurries Wednesday night with this system.
* Cold weather continues for late week. By the weekend, model guidance suggests the possibility of an area of low pressure forming along the Gulf coast and tracking south of here. If that were to verify, the potential would exist for some snow. Forecasting winter weather is difficult 6 hours in advance, much less 6 days. But, we want you to be aware of the possibilities.
* Snow or not, it sure looks cold for the weekend. Highs will struggle to reach 40 degrees by Sunday, with a very cold airmass in place. Winter isn't over just yet...I'll have another update Monday evening.
