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

[jaymackd3]

Went to Lowe’s for about 30 min was 43 on the car... got back in and pouring rain and dropped to 36

 

[HSVweather]

I think it will change at the very end this afternoon.

Just dropped to 31

 

[Stormlover]

We are at 31 already here, still raining... hoping change over to sleet... Wishful thinking I am guessing

will change later, may be heavy later this afternoon

 

[Psalm 148:8]

Forecast high today bust by 5 degrees... 53 from FFC... 47 at 115 pm... near Franklin Ga on Al line.. I want something frozen!!! Don’t care ice, sleet , snow!!! Hoping the low takes a southerly track... and the models underestimate the push from west with all that frozen precipitation on the ground! A girl can hope can’t she???? I’ve seen waaaay too many forecast busts this winter... even day before... precipitation and temperature busts... both ways, up one side down the other and around the middle.

Tuscaloosa down to 34, from a high of 39 about an hour ago.

What I'm seeing on some of the newer runs is just insane cold blasting in tonight further east and much colder than what's currently forecast. I'm not sure if it'll be 28 or 20 here tomorrow morning or even colder. I'm pretty sure any areas where there's a lot of water standing there'll be ice tomorrow due to a flash freeze especially further W in AL.

GFS has me at 18 in the morning. I could probably skate in my yard if that happens.

 

[La Plata]

It's taken only a little over an hour for me to go from 49 down to 40 degrees. The wx stations surrounding Tuscaloosa seems to have stalled out at around 33 with a dewpoint just below freezing. Interesting to see what this batch of heavy precip is about to do there. Tuscaloosa may end up with a super cold rain at just above 32 degrees or it might drop and they see a changeover.

Edit: Now down to 39.

 

[SASQUATCH]

East wind took round one.

 

[Bama Ravens]

I'm down to 38 where I am north of Birmingham. Wind mainly from the west. It was 45 earlier.

 

[Stormsfury]

That's amazing...
College Station, TX thundersnow episode this morning didn't occur from CSI ... (Slantwise convection) but from standard vertical thunderstorm development with tops to 22k...

 

[EMTime]

Back edge has came through. Ended up with a bout an inch and a half of sleet.

 

[Mitch West]

Is the storm development to the South of this system robbing some of the moisture feed in the mid area of this storm? Yes, the moisture is very intense, but it's basically like a few hour period of very heavy snow, sleet, or freezing rain in areas of Mississippi & Alabama. Idk, could be dead wrong, would love to hear what areas of Miss (especially central Miss) and Alabama are seeing.

 

[Brent]

Its been well forecast but even with full sunshine no words very little melting

 

[Stormlover]

How about these temps in the morning
