You may be right but area in west MS are snowing with temps upper 30s

 

[Cold Wrather Fan]

Unfortunately for Georgia and even a large portion of Alabama, the temps are just going to be too warm when the bulk of the moisture arrives. View attachment 64899View attachment 64900View attachment 64901

Temp in my backyard is already 39 not 43

Yeah exactly. Doesn’t have to be 32° to snow

Well you're not officially a weather weenie. Lol

Temps have busted all day. Places getting snow upstream that had forecast lows in the upper 30s to low 40s

I get what you’re saying here because it would appear to be a blanket rule to some but there are thermal dynamics in the atmosphere at different levels which have a big impact on precip type you get. You can get snow in the upper 30s with rain at 33 depending on the thermal dynamics above the surface.

Not to be debbie downer...but, those in MS and even W AL that will see snow at 32-35 is because all levels above that layer are below freezing. Temps at 925 and 850 are like 2-6c. not going to cut it. Sure we will see some evap cooling, but this just isn't our storm. I think outside of maybe above 1k feet over NGA mtns....any snow flakes (I doubt) or sleet pellets at the onset of the precip...it won't last long. it sucks....

This reminds me of a storm in 2011 (?) that had they same set-up and they forecasted nothing for Chattanooga and ended up with 2-4 inches. Could happen for some of Alabama.

That's nice, since that picture is for 1PM tomorrow, let me know what the temp is there tomorrow at 1PM.

Considering the main precip shield is almost half way across MS it would seem we’re ahead of schedule. (Disclaimer: I am an inveterate wishcaster.)

My brain is really having a hard time wrapping itself around the fact that this radar image will translate to rain in the Birmingham area

It's more about 900 and below for N GA. Here's a sounding from tomorrow when the heaviest arrives. 44 is just too warm.

Wes Wyatt on Fox 6 here in Birmingham said we need to watch closely in the morning he seems to believe we will see some snow here especially if the precip is heavy

 

[accu35]

As much as I love snow, it wouldn't bother me to see none out of this. I've already chased 4 times already and seen my share. I'm hoping for my friends north of me to score

Kind of snarky but yeah, this storm was never meant to be in GA at least in the last several days of modeling. I am sitting at 31F currently so hoping to see a few flakes fly before the warming takes over and I also think that's possible.
