Alabama 811 | Know What's Below.

Concerning Tomorrow Morning

| February 17, 2015 @ 9:26 pm

The NWS in Huntsville continues a winter weather advisory for the counties in the Tennessee Valley of far North Alabama. A clipper type system will bring snow showers/flurries to Alabama early tomorrow morning; this is the HRRR model output valid at 6:00 a.m. tomorrow…

While this isn’t a major winter weather event, heavier snow showers could put down up to 1/2 inch of snow, mainly over far North Alabama, and some isolated travel issues could result. The primary window for the show showers/flurries will come from 4:00 until 10:00 a.m.

We will watch radar trends overnight for any potential sign of a surprise, but for now we don’t expect significant travel impact for places like Birmingham, Tuscaloosa, Anniston, and Gadsden.

The other two big issues are…

*The Arctic cold arriving tomorrow night… we will drop into the 10-15 degree range early Thursday morning, and most places around here will stay below freezing all day.

*Friday wintry mix… A storm system in the southern branch of the jet stream will bring another threat of freezing rain, sleet, and maybe a snow flake or two Friday. New data rolling in still hints this could be a system with significant somewhere over North Alabama. I will have my first forecast map for this event here early tomorrow morning.
