NAM Cold, Wet (Snowy) for Wednesday Night
The evening run of the NAM is coming in wet and cold for Wednesday night, giving more confidence to a snowy forecast for late Wednesday night for Central Alabama.
Here is the precipitation and 850 mb 0C isotherm for midnight Wednesday night. It shows snow spreading into areas north of US-82 and I-20. The 850 mb temp is the temperature at 5,000 feet. It is a good rule of thumb for the rain/snow line. If the NAM verifies, we could see a general 2 to 4 inch snowfall across North Central Alabama Wednesday night.
We are still dealing in speculation based on model data at this point. We will start to deal in specific forecasts by tomorrow night.
