1/6-1/7 Winter Storm Potential Thread

The warm nose has nothing to do with moisture...just warmer temps aloft melting precip before it falls back into sub freezing air.

03z SREF seems to take into account the warm nose aloft. It shows around 0.5" mean total QPF for Birmingham, but only 2.15" of snow. So we lose potentially 3" of snow due to freezing rain/sleet p-types.

Currently 31F on I-459.

6z GFS Cobb totals for ATL: 0.75" of ZR, 6.3" of SN (From a ratio of 18:1)

Temps are slowly sliding down. I'm guessing we may have already seen our highs for the day. Oddly enough at my station last night, I had a prevailing south wind the majority of the time & I've managed to get down to 36. Woke up this morning at 38

Any reports from North mississippi?

I hope you're right, but ALL the models seem to want to bring us up at least 3 degrees from 8am temps.

You sure that's not 6.3 inches after the switchover with total precip equivalent for the storm of 0.75" ?

Any reports from North mississippi?

Per James Spann Twitter- Over 3" of snow already in the ground in N Miss. Storm already over performing.

A big mess coming...

Some icy spots are possible through midday, but main impact for Central Alabama comes from 4p-2a with sleet/snow

Total QPF is 1.33"

Should I enjoy electricity while I still have it?

850s over ATL are trying to cool at the moment per SPC meso analysis page.

I'm thinking about doubling my firewood stock.....

 

[StormStalker]

Lightly snowing here. Not sticking to the ground much yet. My uncle lives in Corinth, MS and he said they have about an inch down there.

Might be a good idea

Pretty neat comparison of 12z soundings from Nashville, Birmingham, and UAH:

What a difference 200mi makes between @UAHSWIRLL (red), @NWSBirmingham (green), @NWSNashville (blue) 12Z (6am) soundings! #HUNwx #alwx #tnwx
