Plotted everything out in Weatherscope so I can track the extent of the warm nose:

staying clear of me so far!

FFC has dropped accumulation totals and percentages in the ATL metro. Looks like the wedge will stop right around the perimeter of I-285. NE GA and Upstate SC still looking at a crippling ice storm. Travel on I-85 from Charlotte to Atlanta will be difficult to impossible throughout the next couple days.

I'm in West Midtown so that is good to hear. However I have colleagues in Gainesville and Habersham County and I'm worried for them

41 now where I live. Clouds also breaking

I don't know if it affects the forecast, but to my eye, the mesoanalysis 2m temperature is a bit higher than actual reported temps from stations.

 

[JPWX]

Only report I've seen from North MS is in Marshall County where over half inch of sleet had been reported at 7:18am.

I don't know if it affects the forecast, but to my eye, the mesoanalysis 2m temperature is a bit higher than actual reported temps from stations.

If you're using the SPC's mesoanalysis page, it often uses RAP data for those values, so that would mean modelling is overestimating temps.

I'm using both GREarth3 and WeatherScope which I think pull from the SPC.

Tomorrow could be a sneaker day for some tornadoes, EF1/EF2 perhaps, in southern AL

 

[StormStalker]

Hovering right around 25 here. Got a coating of sleet on everything. I guess it will be a race between the moisture back west and the retreating cold air to see if we get anymore wintry precip.

Yup, SPC upgraded to 5% for south Alabama tommorow

I know there's a threat of thunderstorms with freezing rain too. Those will produce the heaviest totals. And I remember Quebec 1998. Some areas had over 4 in/10 cm freezing rain in that event. Montreal was the center but Ottawa had some, E Ontario, as well as Quebec City, N New England & N NY.

An Extreme Cold Warning is now in effect for the coasts of Louisiana and Mississippi.

 

[JPWX]

Got tiny icicles forming on the outer edges of the roof now.

The sun came out and temps shot up here in Cullman. The weather station near me has risen to 38

Thank God for the Gulf.

Seeing pics of sleet accumulation in north Louisiana (Monroe & Ruston). Wasn't expecting to see that. Looking like that's helping reduce the number of power outages up in north LA for the time being. I wonder if we will get sleet down here.

Also it already dropped to near freezing here during some heavy rainfall! Though it looks like it will be dry the next few hours. Maybe the temp will rebound a bit.

I have seen several people refer to large amounts of freezing rain as a Quebec Flag. As in "There's going to be a Quebec flag in north Mississippi..."

So far so good. I just drove 9 miles to take my wife to her job at a correctional facility. Other than minor ice on the bridges, the roads were fine. ( Lee County ms )

 

[Tomcats Forever!]

The snow's finally setting in up here.
