What's the outlook for the rest of the day here? Any snow possible? Right now at my house about 15 miles west of downtown it's 33 and sleeting. Very frustrating! (My hands are cold enough to have an effect on my typing. ) The two nearest WeatherBugs to me are reporting 31 and 34, and it looks like there will be some kind of precip for the at least the next couple of hours according to the radar.

Thanks. I knew of the sleet advisory, but didn't realize they were still leaving snow open as a possibility. The above is what I'm seeing on my WeatherBug right now, but was hoping if there was some more current information available.

Urgent - Winter Weather Message National Weather Service Mobile AL 340 PM CST Sat Dec 25 2004
Winter Weather Advisory in effect until 7 AM CST Sunday...
The National Weather Service in Mobile has issued a Winter Weather Advisory tonight for portions of southeast Mississippi, southwest Alabama, and northwest Florida.
Counties in the advised area are...
In Southeast Mississippi:
Stone and George counties.
In Southwest Alabama:
Mobile, Baldwin, Escambia, Covington, Conecuh, Butler, and Crenshaw counties.
In Northwest Florida:
Interior portions of Escambia, Santa Rosa, and Okaloosa counties.
An upper-level disturbance tracking across the north-central Gulf will interact with a surface low over the central Gulf to produce areas of rain through early Sunday morning. With cold air in place, most of the area can expect the rain to be mixed with sleet and snow at times. The track of the upper-level disturbance indicates the heavier precipiatation amounts will be over the coastal sections and generally along and east of the I-65 corridor.
Although no significant accumulation of sleet or snow is expected, there is the possibility of some light accumulations across elevated surfaces, especially bridges and overpasses. The main threat will be from mid-evening through early Sunday morning as the surface temperatures fall at or below freezing. The rain is expected to push east of the area by 4am Sunday morning, but any standing water or wet spots on bridges and overpasses could continue to cause slippery conditions through sunrise Sunday morning.
Remember... a Winter Weather Advisory is issued when snow, sleet, and/or ice is forecast to develop in the affected area... but accumulations will be generally light. The main accumulations threat will be on bridges and overpasses. Motorists should be especially careful tonight as slippery spots can easily develop and make for hazardous driving conditions.

At least it's official now.
