Winter threat: 1/9-12/ 25

[Richardjacks]

Let's see what happens with that heavier precip breaking out to the west and 850mb layer...if temps start running colder than modeled, we will know things may go differently. Models have been showing the temps crash a bit and then recover tomorrow....if the 850mb low winds up being weaker, the torch will not be as strong.

Great point

Last trend of the 850 level looks to be a little less amped, east of 65 and above I-20

Gadsden rose 29-32, Pell City 30-36. BUT Haleyville & Muscle Scholes haven't increased ahead of incoming precip. They're the closest to what's ahead.

Still 33 here in remlap.

Hey there folks…are any of the returns on West Alabama reaching the ground yet? I ask because I’m trying to time a trip back from Wetumpka to Shelby County.

Gadsden rose 29-32, Pell City 30-36. BUT Haleyville & Muscle Scholes haven't increased ahead of incoming precip. They're the closest to what's ahead.

33 at Gadsden now, so they're back slightly above freezing.

FWIW, 0Z close-range suites for FR and snow accumulation. Certainly hoping for more snow than ice, but, taken at face value, not super encouraging signals from the model presentations.

Oddly enough, I'm up to 41 now in Bham. Wondering if my thermometer is off honestly....

Get you one of the old style thermostats, I set one right outside my window so I can look.

*Woops I mean thermometer. Not thermostat. Gunna leave that goof uncorrected lol.

37 in Tuscaloosa, dropped 1 degree in an hour.

 

[brianc33710]

Well, when I said sometimes temps rise preceding these events, I didn't really want to be right. I had hoped the whole atmosphere would cool off so we'd all just have snow . Obviously there's still time for evaporative cooling to turn things back around. Selma is the only site with an above 32 dp (34).

 

[Flurry]

34 w/ DP 16 in Argo

 

[PopPop]

Holding steady for a good while at 34 in Leeds/Moody

 

[Havaheart66]

Temp in Tallapoosa County was 40 two hours ago. Now it's 43.

 

[Austin Dawg]

33° and it's been steadily raining or a few snow flurries all day long. It's about out of here headed east. Y'all have good evening.

 

[Richardjacks]

lots of mixed precip and sleet reports in Miss. not seeing any snow reports

 

[UncleJuJu98]

33 here still in remlap.
