Based on heavy sleet reports west alabama, My stupid brain would lead me to believe Florence area will see more snow when all done...and more of the ice threat towards athens huntsville area. Carry on

Oh no doubt but I was just looking at HRRR and it has around 0.25 in of ice tomorrow
That's good news. Maybe this won't end up being freezing rain.

I'm SW of Birmingham in between BHM and TCL. I've actually seen my temp rise to 37-38 after being at 36 about half an hour ago. Make of that what you will.
Agree, other than a few models runs late yesterday that peaked our hopes this was never a significant event for the Birmingham area.

Current temps are irrelevant with the WAA blasting northward tomorrow

It's going to hurt if much of this QPF ends up being ice:

Now I know why. Stepped outside...being bathed in a rather heavy drizzle. Likely WAA rearing its head.

Looks like the 12 and 3ks shifted just a little west with the warm front/inverted trough tomorrow. I would not want to see my sfc winds gain any east component.Nam is a furnace

I’m in McCalla and I thought my temp was going up as well when I got in my car a little bit ago, but I’m at 33 now.
Brad Travis is riding the colder model. Saying the models are under estimating the cold.

I’ve been saying it for 2 days, and will reiterate it none last time. This is going to end up a non-event for AL with the exception of the extreme NW counties. Even HSV/Madison County looks like they will get blasted with the warm nose as the low starts maturing. Even up into TN is going to struggle east of Nashville. This thing is going to torch.
but that advection is primarily at the 850-700mb level, not the surface, right?
So you don't give any hope in the artic air and national weather service saying this is going to happen in these areas?

Right but for my area heavy precip rates are gonna bring it down to the surface .anything is possible . Anyone near Birmingham wanting anything frozen needs to hope the the warm nose is being over modeled and that surface temps find a way too cool more than expected in the am . I’ve been watching the freezing line literally bounce off the Jefferson Walker line like a flag blowing in the wind
