Yikes... can we make this "Ice in the Deep South"?
ALL MODELS ARE SHOWING MORE PRECIPITATION THAN EARLIER RUNS...BUT
GFS CONTINUES TO BE THE WETTEST OF THE LITTER. MODELS DO AGREE
THAT THE HIGHEST PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS WILL REMAIN ACROSS SOUTH
ALABAMA...AND RAISED POPS CONSIDERABLY ACROSS SOUTHERN HALF OF
FORECAST AREA. FORECAST SOUNDINGS INDICATE A GOOD CHANCE OF LIGHT
RAIN/SLEET ACROSS NORTHERN COUNTIES THIS EVENING. SOME AREAS MAY
EVEN EXPERIENCE SEVERAL HOURS OF SLEET...BUT TEMPERATURES WILL BE
ABOVE FREEZING DURING THIS PERIOD...SO SIGNIFICANT ACCUMULATIONS
OR TRAVEL PROBLEMS NOT EXPECTED. PROBLEMS WILL ARISE AS THE LOW
LEVELS BEGIN TO MOISTEN AND COOL DUE TO EVAPORATIVE COOLING. WITH
SUCH LOW SURFACE DEWPOINTS IN PLACE...SURFACE TEMPERATURES WILL
FALL INTO THE 30-32 DEGREE RANGE TONIGHT FOR AREAS ALONG AND NORTH
OF I-20. THE CRITICAL TIME PERIOD WILL BE FROM 10 PM UNTIL 4 AM
WHEN SURFACE TEMPERATURES WILL BE 32 OR LOWER AND PRECIPITATION
STILL IN THE AREA.
THERE EVEN MAY BE A FEW HOURS FROM MIDNIGHT TO 3 AM WHEN THE WARM
NOSE ON THE TEMPERATURE PROFILE IS LARGE ENOUGH TO KEEP THE
PRECIPITATION IN THE LIQUID FORM BEFORE IT REACHES THE SURFACE...
RESULTING IN LIGHT FREEZING RAIN. THIS SCENARIO IS THE MOST
WORRISOME...AND WILL NEED TO BE CONSIDERED AS THE EVENT DRAWS
CLOSER. ALL SAID AND DONE...A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY WILL LIKELY BE
NEEDED FOR NORTHERN COUNTIES. SINCE THE EVENT IS STILL MORE THAN 12
HOURS OUT...NO ADVISORY WILL BE ISSUED AT THIS TIME AS FORECAST CAN
BE FINE TUNED AFTER LOOKING AT LATER MODEL RUNS. THE WINTRY MIX WILL
BE HIGHLIGHTED IN THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK...WITH THE MENTION
THAT A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY MAY BE ISSUED LATER TODAY.
My forecast:
Tonight...Mostly cloudy. A slight chance of light snow in the evening. A slight chance of light sleet through the night. A chance of rain and a slight chance of light freezing rain after midnight. Lows around 31. Light winds. Chance of precipitation 50 percent.

TEMPERATURES WILL NOT WARM UP ABOVE FREEZING UNTIL TOMORROW AND WITH
ANOTHER HEAVIER BATCH OF PRECIPITATION EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO THIS
AREA MODERATE FREEZING RAIN AND SLEET WILL BE POSSIBLE. THIS WILL
LEAD TO SIGNIFICANT ICING WITH AS MUCH AS HALF OF AN INCH POSSIBLE.
THE MAIN AREAS OF CONCERN WILL BE ALONG AND NORTH AND WEST OF A LINE
FROM BASTROP...LOUISIANA...TO YAZOO CITY...TO GRENADA. THE GREATEST
ACCUMULATIONS WILL OCCUR ON ELEVATED SURFACES SUCH AS TREES AND POWER
LINES. BRIDGES AND OVERPASSES WILL ALSO ICE OVER CAUSING VERY
DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS. PRECIPITATION WILL LIKELY BEGIN TO
TAPER OFF LATE THIS EVENING BUT CONDITIONS WILL NOT IMPROVE UNTIL
TOMORROW AFTER TEMPERATURES HAVE WARMED ABOVE FREEZING.
AN ICE STORM WARNING MEANS SEVERE WINTER WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE
EXPECTED OR OCCURRING. SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF ICE ACCUMULATIONS
WILL MAKE TRAVEL DANGEROUS OR IMPOSSIBLE. TRAVEL IS STRONGLY
DISCOURAGED. COMMERCE WILL LIKELY BE SEVERELY IMPACTED. IF YOU

Re: Snow in the deep south thread
NWS Jackson MS has Copiah county forecast as a wintry mix today and freezing rain tonight with no accumulation. It's currently 2:52 PM here and our ambient is 34F with a very light cold rain falling.
Looking at the ice storm warning area.....we are just outside the southern edge.
I'm betting the forecast changes.....our temperature has been falling all day.

No advisories for us yet here in Charlotte. Starting to fill in to the west and south. I think they are looking west and watching. Temp is 36* DP 4. Ground frozen after 15 degree start to the day.

Re: Winter Weather in the deep south thread
Tonight: Freezing rain and sleet likely between midnight and 3am, then a chance of rain and sleet after 3am. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 34. Calm wind. Chance of precipitation is 60%. Total nighttime ice accumulation of around a 0.1 of an inch possible. Total nighttime sleet accumulation of less than a half inch possible.
Birmingham thinks more sleet/freezing rain, Atlanta thinks more snow. I don't really think it's going to be a big deal either way. Air is very dry.

Re: Winter Weather in the deep south thread
I've asked a number of lifetime residents of this area when the last time it snowed twice in a winter season. Nobody remembers. I can see small flakes mixed with light rain right now....but there is no accumulation. With all this global warming going on......I'm considering the Arctic Cat snowmachine franchise for southern Mississippi.

Warmer temperatures mean warmer gulf waters which can lead to more moisture. Also while it may be chilly it's not bone chilling cold. In fact we haven't seen single digit type cold around here since 1996. The storm last weekend exploded due to warmer than expected waters over the Gulf.

Re: Winter Weather in the deep south thread
We've been wearing thermal underwear, bib overalls and Carhartt coats, cowhide gloves and insulated boots. The mid +30F ambient temps and high humidity with wind is cold. It's not Prudhoe cold. But it certainly slows the job progress. I have never experienced single digit ambient at 32N latitude....and I've been here 13 years.

Roads are really icing over here now. There have been numerous reports of accidents across North Mississippi. At my location we're only expecting may .2 or so of ice, but areas to the south are now predicted to receive up to 1/2 inch of freezing rain.
Some roads are even closing. Part of the Natchez Trace is shut down...
