Some nice members for Central Alabama
 
Yeah I notice that to. Looks as if the second low come little further west?
That secondary low has me a little worried. Yes, it keeps me in the duration longer, but it robs moisture and appears to edge a warm-nose into the area (knowing that is always a cause for concern with any winter system).
 
Again the FV3 holds serve, and resembles the 12Z GFS from Friday.


Whenever you see a snow map with that nose down into NE Georgia, thats all IP/ZR.
Yea WXgeek soundings show IP/ZR to ZR across portions of the metro on FV3. Would probably be a very bad ice storm verbatim.
 
I think it's safe to say someone somewhere in our region is going to get a winter storm this coming weekend... it's been on the models for some time now. What remains to be seen is who, where and how. This will be a fun one to watch evolve this week! Absolutely insane that it's happening literally at the same time last year when some areas of Metro Atlanta got upwards of a foot or more of snow.

What we could be dealing here is with the first low, some places may start out with a mix or ZR, snow or sleet changing to a cold rain (mainly for GA and upstate SC.) A lot of places across NC would remain all snow, (central NC and points west) As the secondary low develops, colder air would be in place, so, the places that went to a cold rain would transition to all snow. Places that got snow from the main low would get additional snowfall from the secondary low. Also, in the ZR/sleet zones, the snowfall amounts aren't accurate on the models because there is all sorts of p. type going on. The models are getting thrown off on the snowfall maps. With CAD events, it's better to look at accumulation maps individually for each p. type.
