Nah, I'm really just relaying what is written by the 2 sources I trust the most when it comes to weather, the NWS and Mr Spann.

But, I do follow it pretty closely on a daily basis.

Thanks for the info - good to read something without all the drama and self promotion of the news. Keep us posted.

Quick update.....

Light to moderate sleet/snow is falling across the Tennessee Valley and over to Gadsden and down to about Cullman and Hanceville. Southward from there patchy rain is falling across the Metro area.

Precipitation will continue to flood into the state from the west overnight as the cold air sags south.

Really no overall change in thinking tonight as the rain will change over to freezing rain and then sleet in some areas overnight tonight causing treacherous travel conditions in the early morning hours tomorrow. Where exactly this occurs remains the big question.

Bottom line.... The roads could be slick where you are in the morning and the potential still exists for scattered power outages overnight. And, again, the system that will move through tomorrow evening could bring with it heavier precipitation.

Hopefully we will all be underwhelmed by this event. Only time will tell.

I aint goin no sireee

Falling lightly here in Holly Pond

This morning's event unfolded basically as advertised.

After a short intermission, it's about time for the second half.

This system will be a little more dynamic in nature and could provide some 8+ inches of additional snow to some parts of the Tennessee Valley. The potential for accumulating snowfall tomorrow exists all the way down to the Bibb, Chilton, Coosa county area. This will start out as rain and transition to snow during the day tomorrow.

This is a very similar setup to the Blizzard of 93, and, if you recall, the forecast that day was for 4-6 inches of snow. I'm not saying that will happen again, but these things can ramp up quickly and drop huge amounts of snow in relatively short periods of time.

Be prepared for anything, especially in North and Northeast Alabama.

So whats up for tonight/tomorrow?

thanks

This is the forecast discussion from the National Weather Service in Huntsville. I'm assuming that's where you are?
