Memphis cautiously looking over the forecast going into next week. Here's a piece from their afternoon AFD:
Rain chances will increase Tuesday Night and into Wednesday as
the cold
front eventually sinks into the Mid-South.
PW`s will be
150 to 250 percent above
normal for this time of year. Thus, the
threat for heavy rain will be possible with this system. In
addition, winter weather will be a concern. Arctic air will be
plunging in behind the
front. The big question will be where
exactly will be the
front located. There remains differences
amongst the models on where exactly the
front will be as the
front
is expected to slow its progression and possibly stall Wednesday
Night into Thursday as a
SFC low develops over Texas and tracks
northeastward along the
front. In addition, there are differences
in regards to timing of an upper
trough moving into the region.
There is a scenario where the arctic air filters in but a shallow
warm layer remains just above the surface to produce freezing
rain. If the arctic air plunges in quicker, precipitation may turn
to all snow. Do expect at least a short period of snow on the
back edge of the precipitation Thursday afternoon into the evening
as the precipitation tapers off. However, too much uncertainty
during this time period to pinpoint what exactly will happen.
Mentioned freezing rain and snow in forecast for Wednesday Night
into Thursday. Stay tuned to the latest forecasts.
