Winter Weather/Extreme Cold Threat 1/13-1/17

[UncleJuJu98]

Birmingham National weather service mentions the possibility for a expansion of the winter storm warning and winter storm advisory in there midday discussion.

Hrrr shows temperatures dropping to freezing in the next few hours for our areas. Not a good thing. I don't want the ground temps to get a head start at getting to freezing. @David in SW Blount @TileDude

29 degrees and drizzle in that Ardell area of Smith Lake in Cullman County

I've had sleet all day long. Road in front of my house is covered with ice/sleet.

Our yard is still clear, but our windshields have ice of them. School was cancelled for tomorrow - which is shocking. LCSD usually waits until the morning of to cancel.

Still sitting at 44 here. Down 2 degrees in about the last hour. Long way to go....

We just got bumped up from a winter storm advisory to a winter storm warning here in east Mississippi.

Ick. Drizzle here now too. Still 33. I would be perfectly fine if it decided not to do this.

Well you should get another bump downward as the column cools and gets you to a wet bulb temp. The last push is going to have to be some CAA as well.

It is interesting to note that temperatures south of the Arctic front have warmed up a bit more than forecast today. For example, Anniston is at 57° right now, and the NWS forecast was 50°. It will be interesting to see how quickly temperatures cool later today and this evening.

Where did you see that?

On the national weather service of Birmingham website on there forecast discussion. If @Gail is correct on the winter storm warning for east Mississippi, I'm more confident a winter storm warning will come for a some more counties in central Alabama.

I’m presently in Hoover and it seems the North wind has picked up too, not much but some so I hope we can start heading in the right direction FINALLY.

 

[UncleJuJu98]

Temps dropped here 4 degrees within the last hour.

It blew up my phone.

Note the returns south of Hattiesburg. Was that forecasted?

 

[UncleJuJu98]

@TileDude your temp dropped anymore in Morris? Wondering if you've experienced the temperature dropping more?

That should be what comes thru the I 20 area later.

Downpour of sleet in Hazel Green. Never seen anything like this.

Yeah, HRR caught it. Doesn't do much with it though. (also it's early by a couple hours).
