And we know that some of it at least is reaching the ground. Light rain reported in Jackson, MS and Monroe, LA.
(FYI - light blue is 32 temp line, dark blue is 32 wet bulb. This is output from WeatherScope, from Mesonet. It's free)

Just got The Call. Hoover Schools CLOSED on Friday.
I just put the nexrad level III output as an overlay on weatherscope, or use the NWS mosaics for a quick look. For winter weather, at least. The tornado chasing radar is a lot more than I need for this.

18z GFS is the just about the same. Don't let the 20-30 mile wobbles and slightly different amounts bother anyone too much. It didn't get any warmer and may be a hair colder which is the main thing. If it cuts precip by half at 0z be afraid.
That said BMX is sitting dead on with that run.

Gotta love being in that sliver of nothingness. It's like an abyss.

The fun thing is, even the NWS/FFC agrees that we're likely to see greater than 10:1 ratios from ATL north.
I decided about a decade ago to stop looking at models within 24 hours of a winter weather event and to just watch what it does. I'm happier for it.

Looking at total QPF if surface temps are off a few degrees or precip spreads further north it would get hairy quickly. It wouldn't take much to turn this into a Nasty back breaking Ice storm north of Montgomery.
