More Rain, Some Sleet

An area of light rain, mixing with a few sleet pellets at times, continues to roll from west to east across our area. Temperatures are well above freezing, so we expect no travel issues.

* We continue to watch this unsettled pattern unfold. A cold, soaking rain is likely here over the weekend with the next storm system. Temperatures should be warm enough to support only rain here, but some wintry precipitation is possible across northernmost reaches of Alabama and Mississippi, and most of Tennessee. Travel plans to those areas should be well-researched in coming days, there could be significant travel issues along the I-40 corridor.

* The forecast for next week is not very clear. We expect an area of low pressure to form in the northwestern Gulf of Mexico, and this will throw moisture up over the cold air in place. There is some threat for some wintry weather in the area with this system, but confidence in the forecast remains very low. Be sure to check back here for frequent updates throughout the next week or so.
