I'll always be happy to see flakes, but this just isn't exciting. From NWS Huntsville:
SHORT TERM...(Tonight through Tuesday)
Issued at 333 AM CST Sun Jan 10 2021
Attention then diverts further to the SW starting tonight, as a deep
upper low/
trough axis drops into the
srn Plains, while an area of low
pressure develops across the extreme NW Gulf. In addition, while the
latest model suites continue to indicate the presence of a sig dry
layer between H85-
H7, an aggressive return
flow pattern below
H7 may
allow for this drier layer to be overcome by an influx of
moisture
late tonight into early Mon morning. With lows tonight again falling
into the upper 20s/near 30F, this slightly faster solution in which
the lastest model runs are now converging on suggest some light snow
developing out of the SW late tonight, as the
sfc low begins to track
ENE across the wrn/
cntrl Gulf Coast.
The upper low/
trough axis out of the
srn Plains will also begin to
lift NE late tonight into early Mon, although slightly better phasing
of the upper
trough pattern/
sfc wave initially may also result in the
development of some weak snow bands. This banding may begin across
portions of the Mid South region before spreading into parts of NW
AL Mon morning, which could result in some light snow accumulations
up to a 1/2 inch. Elsewhere, as the upper
trough continues to lift NE
away from the
sfc low and weakens, light snow/wintry mix will spread
further into the mid TN Valley, with accumulations perhaps reaching
a quarter inch. As temps struggle to climb into the mid/upper 30s,
much of the precip may become more light rain Mon afternoon, although
a wintry mix will be possible in some of the higher elevations.
In any case, this remains a favorable pattern for light snow/wintry
mix late Sun night into Mon, as the
sfc wave tracks
ewd across the
Gulf Coast and the
moisture depth quickly increases by early Mon.
Lingering precip will then quickly taper off across NE AL early Mon
evening, as the
sfc low tracks further into the NE Gulf and the upper
trough axis continues to lift ENE and weaken. Lows Mon night look to
fall into the mid/upper 20s for most areas, before temps rebound into
the mid/upper 40s later in the day Tue, as a
sfc high out of the
srn
Plains begins to build
ewd. Given the depth of the cold air Mon night
coupled with some lingering
sfc moisture,
black ice may become an
issue on some roads and overpasses into early Tue.
