Interesting Times Ahead

* A lot of weather to cover and not much time to do so, so let's get right to it...

* Friday: Looks dry and a bit warmer - most places in the 50's, with plenty of sun.

* Weekend: A system will move along the Gulf coast, bringing a cold rain to most of our area Saturday night. Some light snow could mix in with the rain in places like Tupelo, Corinth, and Huntsville, but even there, I don't expect any big issues out of this system.

* Sunday/Monday: Cold and dry - highs both days will do well to reach the 40 degree mark, with a stout northerly wind. Brrrrr.

* Tuesday Night/Wednesday: The last two runs of the GFS computer model bring a surface low along the Gulf coast, with an Arctic high across Missouri. While the model itself limits the northward extent of moisture, I believe there is the potential for a strip of 1-2" of snow across the U.S. Highway 82 corridor, and I can't rule out a few flurries as far south as I-20. This system is just now showing up on computer model guidance, so this part of the forecast is highly subject to change.

* Thursday Night: Another surface low will track along the Gulf coast, with cold air in place. It's a bit too far out to really speculate on any accumulations or locations that might see snow with this system, but it does have the POTENTIAL to bring wintry weather to parts of the South. At this point, I would speculate that the greatest chance of that would be along a line from Batesville to Corinth to Chattanooga, TN. We'll keep working on the forecast...Much colder air arrives as we close out next week and get into the weekend...
