Wintry January 14-16th storm potential.

[proud dad]

Drizzle / light rain at times in bluff Park 33°.

The cold air comes in quickly, then it seems like the moisture starts to get squeezed out.

 

[PEA_RIDGE]

Looking at those saturated low levels on the soundings makes me think freezing drizzle/light showers are gonna be a big problem. The models may be underestimating that aspect. That light stuff will accrue like gangbusters in these mid-upper 20s.

SAME HERE. I HONESTLY BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE UNDERESTIMATING THE MOISTURE IN THE AIR AND IT SEEMS IT MAY BE UPTICKING

2.5 here in Blacksburg. Snow not quite done here. 3 inches in range

Some sleet mixing in now

 

[campamy]

Thanks for that update, crazy you're so close to that much snow, but stuck with rain.

NP! We saw snow earlier and areas are still white-ish, but ended up with just slush and wet. 20 miles away is a winter wonderland ?

24 with freezing rain in nw alabama. Hopefully it’s less than a 1/4 of an inch .

Where in Alabama? Its 18 in Huntsville and hasn't been 24 since maybe 6 am.

Check out the ZR down on the gulf coast. Quite the gradient down there too.

I'm reporting as safe here in the N. Foothills safe from all winter weather. 0.00 ground report

Icing situation might get way worse across Cullman/Hartselle

 

[Arcc]

Things are getting really interesting.

 

[lusting4Adusting]

This warm nose should have it's own horror movie, it will not die. It's 19° just outside Huntsville and it's been sleeting for 24 hours. Sheer Insanity

 

[JLL1973]

Ended up with 7 inches of powdery snow. What a storm it was. I’m happy with this winter.

Marion County alabama emergency management has deemed all roads impassable

Just out curiosity… how much has piled up? If you got a couple inches, that’s gonna be hard to melt

Interesting, a late bloomer CAD setup.

 

[Branch]

All I’ve heard are local mets calling for light drizzle, brief mix and around 33 for Atl.

Well I’m already down to 39 which is a few degrees cooler than what I was forecast for right now.

 

[Myfrotho704_]

Interesting, a late bloomer CAD setup.

Most of our areas are already way colder than modeled currently Vs cams thanks to clearing skies, also a stiff NE breeze. 35F here. Might be some spotty freezing drizzle (hrrr has some now this run) if we can keep the weak NE breeze going with weak CAA

 

[SD]

Radar looking pretty concerning for Alabama as the freezing one sinks south and that's all primarily freezing rain

 

[Shadypines33]

We're still having intermittent sleet showers in Madison. I have never seen such a prolonged sleet event. This is crazy. It's been going on since 5am.

My biggest concern is that it seems to be concentrated in the black belt. That area is exceedingly poor and full of pines that’ll snap like matchsticks.

It wants to spill over but we suck so bad down here we’ll probably even mess it up for Roxboro on this one

 

[accu35]

I’ve notice some models are showing a heavy band as this Heads east later tonight. This is getting interesting very fast

 

[SASQUATCH]

Lots of low level moisture not being picked up by radar. If you want ground truth, I am the truth!

 

[PEA_RIDGE]

SITTING HERE WATCHING TRAFFIC CAM AND THERE ARE DUMBASSES TRYING TO DRIVE OVER THE TENNESSEE RIVER BRIDGE IN NORTH ALABAMA

Need to batten down the hatches. Look for a strong smell of pine trees in the morning
