NWS Jackson issued a Winter Storm Watch

URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE National Weather Service Jackson MS 351 PM CST Sun Jan 27 2019 ...WINTER STORM WATCH IN EFFECT FOR MUCH OF THE ARKLAMISS REGION .A strong cold front will combine with a weather disturbance to bring wintry precipitation to the ArkLaMiss region Monday night into Tuesday morning. There is increasing confidence that significant snowfall will occur as temperatures fall rapidly behind the cold front changing rain to snow. With temperatures falling below freezing, icing of roads, and especially bridges and overpasses, will become a concern as we near the morning commute. In addition, strong wind will combine with the cold temperatures to make for very cold wind chill readings. Stay tuned for updates on this developing winter weather situation.

Well remember last january models did the same thing for areas east of apps, increased qpf as it got closer until the event unfolded, of course that one was all snow but still
 
Rah NWS saying inch or less mainly I-85 north and west (for now) but also mention the concern for flash freezing/black ice for the morning commute.... could be low impact but still fun to see how it plays out. It's something different for around here anyway
 
don't discard Baron lightly...their products rock...even if it's a little overdone, it's something to take note of.. and it's been consistent with the snow amounts and temps, unlike most of these other models

I’m not talking about the snow amounts I’m talking about the temperatures. There isn’t anything even in the same ballpark that supports that

I know, I just commented on that..it's been consistent and it's great products. I'd just watch for lower temps than forecast even if that is a little low.
 
Look at all these winter storms OTD through the observed record in NC, just to make you realize how much this one sucks.

Roxboro got 36" during the Knickerbocker storm of 1922 & the observation was legit according to the various AMS publications I've read. Biggest single-storm snow total I've seen in any storm period east of the mountains.

Actually in retrospect this post should be moved to the wambulence thread lol.

Fine with me im right over by the polk paulding line
I think 1-2" is a good possibility for you. It's almost always better to be west of Atlanta than east of Atlanta in most winter systems. I would hate to live in Rockdale, Newton, Walton counties, etc.
 
It appears that Forsyth will be right on the fringe of getting almost nothing and making the ground a little white. At this point in a winter that I have not seen a sleet pellet or flurry, I'll take a dusting and call it a win. It does suck that only a county or two to my west will probably get 1-2" but I'll take what I can get. 1-2 counties to my east will probably get nothing so I should be happy.
 
Quiet for a " winter storm " never fails we get letdown before the event

Can’t take the snow accum maps verbatim bro. The snow doesn’t know where those lines are drawn & furthermore give zero effs about them.
