Anyone seeing anything significant winter weather wise for Sunday/Monday over the Tennessee Valley?
Been watching that system Monday on the GFS for several days now, the track of the low has varied quite a lot but I've been wondering what the euro has been showing.
I've had the sense that it could be our best shot at a good snow in a long time if things play out the way they've been modeled.

Looks like we'll mostly be getting rain here instead of the 3-6" inches of snow they were forecasting yesterday. No complaints from me.

As of right now I think the NW corner of Alabama is in play for a chance of some frozen precip of some type Monday morning. N MS and W TN has a very good chance of seeing some

We've got some showers now but never got any accumulating snow. The DC Snow Hole lives!

Well this is horrifying.


The videos are heartbreaking. There is nothing you can do. I'm surprised the injury and death count isn't higher

BEFORE VIEWING - PLEASE NOTE THIS VIDEO CONTAINS THE ACTUAL CHAIN REACTION CRASH

GFS has been consistent with a pretty decent ice storm across Northwest Alabama for several runs Early next week.

A lot of roads out here in Fort Worth were pretreated on Wednesday for ice, but its just been so cold I don't think it made much difference. This morning, there was ice buildup all over the area. Death Toll in the Metroplex is now up to 9 per TWC. We are supposed to get snow and temps down to single digits this weekend. Not Good!

Ha it's as infamous as it gets.

Had a little ice event here today. Expecting a little more tonight. Just 1/10" or so.

Winter weather advisory tonight and tomorrow morning for most of Huntsville CWA for a slight chance of freezing rain. This system is separate from the one on Monday.

It looks like the area from Corinth to Florence (Shoals) is the uncertain zone as to what kind of frozen precip will be dominant. Right now it's leaning toward freezing rain (ugh) with sleet running a close second and maybe a little snow at the end of the event. If the LP will shift a hundred miles south, there would be more snow in play and sleet and ZR could be quite a problem for Athens to east of Huntsville.

Local weather said we might be near zero Monday night and close to 6" of snow. Said it had been over 30 years since we had weather like this and would definitely set records.

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for South-Central Texas..

.DAY ONE...This Afternoon And Tonight.

Temperatures will remain below freezing from the Edwards Plateau,
across the Hill Country and I-35 corridor to the US Highway 77
corridor. Patchy freezing drizzle will develop after midnight. As
a result, many roadways, especially bridges and overpasses, will
continue to have icy areas. Travel is discouraged across these
areas this afternoon into tonight.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday.

Winter Storm Warnings and Watches are in effect for the entire
region for Saturday through Monday morning.

An upper level disturbance will bring freezing rain Saturday into
Saturday evening mainly along and north of U.S. 90 and I-10.
Light ice accumulations are possible, especially on bridges and
overpasses, making travel difficult. Additional power outages
could be possible in areas where ongoing ice is unable to melt.

A stronger disturbance will bring heavier precipitation to our
area as well as much colder air late Sunday into Monday. Rain and
freezing rain will turn to sleet and then snow. New ice
accumulations of 1/10 inch, as well as snow accumulations of 1 to
3 inches are expected. Significant disruptions to travel are
expected.

A final round of wintry precipitation is forecast Tuesday night
into Wednesday.

Bitterly cold air is forecast Sunday through Tuesday, with record
low temperatures expected. Much of the Hill Country will remain
below freezing tonight through at least Wednesday morning. The
rest of the area will remain below freezing Sunday night through
midday Tuesday. Low temperatures in the single digits to around
20 are forecast Monday and Tuesday mornings. Wind chill values
will be even colder, ranging from -10 to 10 degrees both mornings.
A Wind Chill Advisory may be required.

Now is the time to prepare for this hard freeze and winter
precipitation.
