Wow....I can't believe we could be having a snowstorm the first week of December down here. That's amazing. I don't see how we can build this playground on Saturday in Lakeview if we are going to have snow. It would just be really difficult. I know many want it to snow, but, I hope it passes us this go around. We've got all of our supplies and mulch already out there with KABOOM.

Even if you get 2 or 3 inches it will melt very quickly. I'd go ahead with your building plans regardless of the snow.

Ivanhater, looks like we could see a change over down here along the coast even if the NAM verifies. Are you seeing the same thing??

Yeah Dean. Like I mentioned before the models have been bad on the thermo aspect. Today's high for instance was supposed to be around 60, some areas didn't get out of the 40s.
During the day tomorrow, it will be time to see how the low develops and tracks in the western gulf , also how the snow takes shape around Houston.

Thanks Ivanhater. Do you guys see the northern gulf coast (from over here to you guys) possibly getting more out of this than was forecast earlier today with the newer models coming out.

Thanks Dean. So obviously we need to watch and see what happens over in Houston tomorrow. And of course hope they get the snow forecast and more then it shifts over to us.

The biggest negative I see is that the temps at the mid-levels are warmer than those at 850 mb, especially as you move east (if I'm reading this correctly). Hopefully this will be a little off target - it's happened befoer. Either way, it'll be a close call for us in the Alabama, NW FL areas. That NAM really looks good for SW MS/ SE LA though.
<edit> As soon as I post that, the NWS office changes the Mobile forecast from a rain/sleet mix to rain/snow.

The 0z GFS is HORRIBLE. Barely any snow even in Houston. I have serious doubts about this storm. It's gonna be extremely borderline with high bust potential. The NAM is much better, but it's the NAM.

From what I'm hearing Brent, the GFS has not been handling this storm well at all, even what is happening now. The NAM has been doing the best job so far and is also the model of choice from the NWS.

I hope the NAM is right but I just dunno. This is gonna be a close call even up here.

Even parts of Florida have an 80 percent of Rain/Snow
