…WINTER WEATHER POTENTIAL FOR FRIDAY…

OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS MUCH HAS BEEN DISCUSSED IN REGARDS TO
THE POTENTIAL FOR WINTER WEATHER ON FRIDAY. AT THIS TIME…THE
FORECAST IS BEGINNING TO BE MORE CONSISTENT THAT THERE WILL BE A
CHANCE FOR AN ACCUMULATING SNOW ACROSS PORTIONS OF CENTRAL ALABAMA.

THE TIMING FOR THIS EVENT REMAINS VERY CONSISTENT IN ALL OF THE
FORECAST MODELS…AS FRIDAY LOOKS TO BE THE TARGET DAY.
HOWEVER…SOME UNCERTAINTY REMAINS ON THE TRACK OF THE SURFACE
LOW…WHICH WILL DETERMINE NOT ONLY THE AMOUNT OF MOISTURE THAT IS
OFFERED UP WITH THIS SYSTEM…BUT ALSO…HOW FAR THE FREEZING LINE
WILL DIG INTO THE SOUTH.

AS OF WEDNESDAY MORNING…THE BEST FORECAST FOR SNOW AMOUNTS OF
AROUND 2 INCHES WILL BE BETWEEN THE INTERSTATE 20 AND HIGHWAY 80
CORRIDORS…WITH 1 TO 2 INCHES NORTH AND SOUTH OF THIS AREA. A
TRACE TO ONE-HALF INCH IS EXPECTED FROM TROY TO EUFAULA.

PLEASE BEGIN TO PLAN AHEAD ON HOW SEVERAL INCHES OF SNOW COULD
AFFECT YOU AND YOUR FAMILY…BEFORE IT ACTUALLY FALLS.

CHECK BACK WITH US FREQUENTLY ON THIS POTENTIAL FOR WINTER WEATHER
FRIDAY. ON THE WEB…CHECK OUT OUR HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK AND
OUR MULTIMEDIA IMPACT BRIEFING FOR THE LATEST INFORMATION.
