Re: Winter Weather in the deep south thread
Hmmm.... 
MODELS REMAIN IN VERY GOOD AGREEMENT THAT A SURFACE LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM WILL DEVELOP ALONG THE NORTHERN GULF OF MEXICO. WILL
CONTINUE TO FOLLOW A BLEND OF THE GFS AND ECMWF AS THEY HAVE BEEN
THE MORE CONSISTENT MODELS. FORECAST CONFIDENCE CONTINUES TO
INCREASE THAT AT LEAST AREAS NORTH OF INTERSTATE 20 WILL SEE LIGHT
SNOW THROUGH OVERNIGHT FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY. THE ECMWF IS
PREDICTING THAT FLURRIES COULD FALL AS FAR SOUTH AS THE CITY OF
MONTGOMERY. AS IT IS ALWAYS THE CASE THIS FAR OUT...THINGS CAN
CHANGE. FOR NOW...IT LOOKS LIKE MOST OF THE SNOW WILL BE LIGHT IN
INTENSITY BUT COULD FALL THROUGH THE ENTIRE NIGHT. THIS IS BASED
ON LOOKING AT MODEL SOUNDINGS. THEY SHOW A SATURATED LAYER IN THE
LOW LEVELS IN BELOW FREEZING TEMPERATURES. HOWEVER...THE TOP OF
THIS LAYER BARELY REACHES -10 DEGREES. UNDER MOST CONDITIONS...YOU
NEED COMPLETE SATURATION IN THE -10 TO -20 LAYER FOR SNOW GROWTH
TO OCCUR.
Friday Night...Cloudy. A chance of showers in the evening. A chance of snow through the night. Lows around 29. West winds 10 to 15 mph. Chance of precipitation 50 percent.
Saturday...Mostly sunny. Breezy at times. A slight chance of snow in the morning. Highs in the mid 40s. Chance of snow 20 percent.

I live near Nesbit.. and yeah we had maybe 1/4 of an inch for a few hours.

Re: Winter Weather in the deep south thread
Mmmmm... me likey.
http://www.alabamawx.com/?p=5931
A winter storm is developing over the South/Central U.S. that will eventually affect a wide area.
The low-pressure area at the surface is just now developing and its future track will depend greatly on who gets snow and how much. One of our main weather models positions the surface low near the Mississippi/Alabama border at midday Friday with the center near Birmingham at nightfall and along the Tennessee/North Carolina border at midnight tomorrow night.
This would indicate that any snow flurries in Alabama would be a Saturday morning event or maybe late Friday night.
Another major model (the GFS) takes the low on a more southerly track passing across SE Alabama at midday Friday and into NW Georgia at nightfall Friday. By midnight, it has the low near Asheville, North Carolina and at daybreak near Raleigh. This track would give us a better chance of snow.
We are working fast and furious on the afternoon forecast and we hope to be more definitive at that time.
Early this afternoon precipitation had already broken out over South Missouri, NW Arkansas, Eastern Oklahoma, as well as North/Central and Central Texas. Even a few thunderstorms over Central Texas.
The precipitation is wintry precipitation over extreme North/Central Texas, Southern Oklahoma, extreme North Arkansas and South Missouri. Some Winter Storm Warnings have been posted for some of that area including parts of North Arkansas.
Nothing going on at the moment. The nearest precipitation to the west was near Little Rock and College Station, Texas.
Here in Alabama the raiin should become mixed with or changing to snow over the north at some point Friday night with snow showers or flurries continuing during the morning. The better chance of any accumulating would be over the extreme north, but we have an excellent of seeing flurries or snow showers late Friday night and Saturday morning, even down into Central Alabama. Indeed, one of the models hints at some flurries all the way down to near the coast.
A lot of snow fans are getting very impatient and I understand that. We will have an increasing number of updates as the event gets closer.

Nope! I was just asking for Brent's prediction for Beaumont in inches. I was just joking though... although we do have a *slight* chance to see some flurries. I don't think I'll ever be able to mention snow here in inches. It may be just to my north, east, west, or south, but not here.
Local forecast:
A strong cold front will push through our area tonight with rain and a few thunderstorms likely. No severe weather is expected, however, some of the storms will be locally heavy with rainfall totals in isolated spots between one and two inches. Colder air will take over tonight with some rain lingering into Friday morning. With rather cold air aloft, there is even some risk of snow flurries especially over the Lakes early Friday morning until around noon Friday.
