Y'all I hate to be "that guy", but this really looks like another one of those situations where the cold air needed to support accumulation arrives after the moisture ends. I think we'll see some flakes, but I'm not expecting more than a dusting for most. Would love to be pleasantly surprised, but not seeing it at the moment.

Me too unfortunately. The system would have to dig and pivot(stall) a bit too much from how the ground truth looks now. Hope I’m wrong though!

So now we might end up with 6" tomorrow? I want to speak to the manager.

if it produces to that extent, I hope I get kudos for this thread I started jinxing it in the right direction for once.

I just don’t see how the models say two inches for bham. Ground temps are really warm, and it’s still 50 degrees. I could be wrong but I don’t see this being a big deal. I can’t wait to see the flakes though

Oh, I live in Virginia, so idk how it's looking for y'all. This was our forecast. I really need the DC Snow Hole to come through in the clutch again.
It was 65 degrees here today, I played golf in short sleeves. I guess at least we're making the transition without any severe weather, just a lot of rain.

I’m just going to drop this sentence from the NWS Huntsville forecast discussion here and let y’all salivate:

If you get it, you need to share the love with The ‘Ham as well! GL though!
actually there is a little surface based cape all the way down to Bham for a short period of time...so a little thunder is possible here too.

Excellent! I was hoping so and someone earlier said Jerry Tracy said likewise. What are your thoughts as things stand now for N Central AL? Thanks fir your input too!
Well hello there little snow band.
a band of heavy snow lasting around 3 hours somewhere near I65...
that snow band will grow and become heavier over the next several hours as the trough begins to close off and deepen. The heaviest snow band will likely be north to south from Bham area toward Cullman and then a bit wider in the Tenn Valley and will last 2-3 hours. Bham probably won'tt see much more than inch in actual accumulations, higher amounts as you go northward. It looks like the upper low will begin to pivot (slow forward movement) right as the band nears I65.

Hope you guys are cashing in. We're expecting 4-8+" here with some thundersnow possible as the LP deepens and the vort max runs right south of us.
Kudos to the GFS for picking up on this one.

Got a pretty good slushy accumulation here. Ground completely covered.

The fact Tuscaloosa dropped 5 deg in last hr & Bham went up 1 deg doesnt help. Tuscaloosa is 40 Bham is still 50.

This snow must be expected to fall very hard for it to stick given the ground warm temps. This isnt Snowmageddon where we had 1 warm day & everything was very cold right around it. Its been WAY above normal. I want to see some snow but wont get my hopes up.
