Our low pressure system is out over the Gulf of Mexico tonight. It exited the Texas coast near Corpus Christi earlier this evening. A vigorous upper disturbance is passing south of the Dallas/Ft.

Below are the 00Z NAM snow accumulation graphics. How about 8 to 10 inches just north of Mobile!!!
Some notes from the weather office… *The 00Z NAM prints 0.30″ liquid for Birmingham, or around 3 inches of snow. Makes the NWS idea of 2 to 4 inches here look pretty good. We will stick with 1-2 inches for the I-20 corridor. *Timing still looks good; snow begins over West Alabama soon after midnight, […]

Below is a comparison of the NWS accumulation, and the one I put together earlier (mine is the one on top)… you can see the NWS is a little more aggressive with snow the I-20. One way or another, the heaviest snow should be over the southern half of Alabama tomorrow. We will talk about […]
