Great point! I think we will need to watch how quickly the cold air gets in as well. If temps begin dropping faster than predicted we are in business. Just something to watch.

When can we expect WSW to start popping up out west? Mississippi is 36 hours away and I know 2-3 inches is WSW criteria for them.
Looks like you may have to pull an all nighter Monday night.
Welp sref went from 0.05 mean to nearly 0.2-0.25 snow mean for my area, baby steps ??
Guys, the SREF is being phased out over time I believe into this: https://www.spc.noaa.gov/exper/href/

A lot of that precipitation is going to come down as rain unfortunately as the column cools... we have a quick warmup with SW flow ahead of the front

SREF plumes for Montgomery have went up quite a bit, just last night the boom potential was less than an inch, today it’s over 2 inches.

Really see the temps being the problem!? How is the cold going to get to CLT area with precip, and not here!?
The NWS offices in Memphis, Nashville, Morristown TN, and Jackson MS have already issued Special Weather Statements to highlight the potential impacts.
NWS Bham just messaged me this in regards to watches possible later.
Dang you got connections.

Can someone post a map of the EPS ?
EPS that pack is referring to. I compared it to 00z and it’s a great increase.

Meteogram showing some model runs for Huntsville. Most running in the 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 range
Someone along or south of I-20 is gonna get smoked with some rates. Who knows where that may be, but the increase in QPF in those areas really has me excited. I think we could see a 3 inch total somewhere. I sure would love to be up on Mount Cheaha for this.

Yep wherever the band sets up with the heavy rates is gonna cash in quickly. Where that is gonna be is making it difficult to make my call map lol. Will have it out by the end of the day though.

WSW for the ATL! They are being proactive!
I tend to think our NWS office (Morristown) will have watches/warnings for the mountains, and an advisory everywhere else. Could go up tonight if not tomorrow morning.

SREF snowfall mean has also increased for Greensboro...up from .25 to nearly .75, with several members in the 2-3" range. The 18Z NAM should be a better run. We'll see.
I'm willing to bet the Super Bowl helped them pull the trigger on this.

SHEESH, SREF now over and inch for Atlanta with a max of 4.5 inches lol!

I was just going to say the same thing. I was there during the 1/14 debacle and cannot imagine how much worse it would be with an extra 500,000 tourists arriving. Err on the side of caution for sure
Hmmmm. It says up to 2 inches... I thought they only issued watches if it was 2 inches or more ? Seems like an Advisory would be a better way to go.

Yes, from what I ve gotten from some EMA friends FFC had said that they would be efforting longer lead times for any impactful weather for the week.
