Temp has been dropping pretty fast in Lindale. 51.3 at noon and 42.8 now. We may hit freezing way before the modeled midnight time frame as the cold has not slowed its advance. That could change things pretty drastically. The freeze line is near 380 now.

That's not Memphis. Memphis is reporting 37F and moderate rain. He must be up on some mountain somewhere.


Having been born and partially raised there, don't recall any mountains in the proximity of Memphis.

But you are right - I went back and checked and he's actually 195 miles away in Mountain Home, Ark. @NWSMemphis retweeted his post as storm reports are coming in.

That wind out there makes last week feel warm. It feels like someone is spittin' ice chips at me. Or maybe I just need proper winter clothing.

Temp plunging here from 50s at noon to low 40s now. 18Z NAM now has me in the heavy snow band tonight. Shows what looks like freezing rain around 9PM then sleet around midnight then a snow/sleet mix around 3AM ending as all snow. Over half an inch of QPF during this time frame. So .1" ice, .25" sleet and 3" snow. All in an advisory. Other models are not so aggressive with precip and the RAP and HRRR want to really dissipate the precip overnight.

What are your current favorite websites to look at computer model data?

I use to use meteostar, the psu board, and twisterdata... Any other good ones that you guys are using?
