Wintry King Kong Winter Storm Potential Feb 13th-16th

I just see Jefferson County getting shafted with this one. IMO I feel like Tuscaloosa is by far the best place to be for those of us in the central part of the state for a boom over bust standpoint. Those of us in the beam metro pretty much better hope the majority of the models are off by a degree or two in order for us to get anything worthy. Either way, I feel like roads are going to be awful tomorrow night and until we can get above freezing tuesday with how fast and hard the temps are going to drop behind the front.

Models have a hard time with he shallow cold air, so I am still definitely interested, but once temps start trending warmer with under 24 hours till go time, they typically don't start coming back in our favor down here. I am not trying to be pessimistic, but that's just typically how it goes. Maybe models will be off with the temps, but I am super anxious to see how Tuscaloosa does with this storm and our Northern Alabama posters.
 
MRX going with a flizzard for western half of it's area Monday night, including Chattanooga and Cleveland. I would expect we'll be under a SWS to account for black ice due to crashing temps after all the rain, and the minor snowfall. Thankful we'll be just warm enough to avoid the frz rain though, don't want any of that

Yeah temps aren’t in our favor for this one in Bham metro. Only hope is heavy precipitation causing dynamic cooling.
 
Just dropped my youngest off at a friend's house for a couple of hours and the temp dropped 2 degrees while I was gone. I'm about a mile or so off of 231 and I was shocked at the amount of ice in the trees. The freezing fog has definitely rolled in. Currently sitting at 31

Heavy precipitation will most likely hurt even more if you want ice in BHM.

Yep, temps above surface are gonna be rather warm. Dont want to mix that down if you want to see ice.
