At Mid-Morning
If you listened to Rick and Bubba this morning, or follow me on Twitter, you know I am fighting the “crud”. Horrible voice, low grade fever, feel horrible. Had to cancel three appearances today… but am about to head to the doctor to see if he can work a miracle. No time to be sick this week… I will be working the TV shift as usual tonight.
We are dealing with two potential snow events this week….
*LATER TODAY/TONIGHT: A pretty decent chance we will see some light snow or snow flurries, mainly north of I-20, in the 4:00 to 11:00 p.m. time frame. The 12Z RPM suggests there could be dusting across the higher terrain of Northeast Alabama in grass, but nothing really beyond that. The sky will clear after midnight as we drop into the 20s.
*WEDNESDAY NIGHT: This is when we have a much better chance of accumulating snow. Hot off the presses is the 12Z RPM snow accumulation chart, valid through 6:00 a.m. Thursday:
This tends to validate the idea of 1-2 inches of snow for much of North Alabama, generally north of I-20, with a dusting down to a line from Livingston to Clanton to Roanoke.
We also note the 12Z NAM is more aggressive, with 2-4 inches for North Alabama (the heaviest axis of snow is north of a line from Fayette to Warrior to Jacksonville…
I will have the first snow accumulation potential graphic up later this afternoon….
