Wintry Possible Snow & Ice Threat Nov 14-15

FFC for the mountains :
Extended period begins with the culprit upper low exiting through
KY and Eastern TN and much of the moisture exiting to the east
with it. Mid level dry slot looks to work into the region during
the day Thursday from west to east so there should be a relatively
quick shut off to the rainfall. Late Thursday there appears to be
a window where there is enough wrap around moisture and cold air
across North GA that some snow showers could start mixing in.
Model soundings for that area suggest a shallow but saturated
subfreezing layer below about 850mb with drier air above it which
favors upslope snow showers. Have added snow showers which would
be more likely in the NW facing slopes during the evening hours on
Thursday into the first part of the overnight. Because the low is
rapidly exiting to the east...much of moisture evacuates quickly
with it so the window looks to be only about 6-9 hours or so. Have
not included any appreciable amounts but would not be surprised
to hear about a trace or dusting in some of the higher elevations.
Not anticipating any issues with the snow otherwise.
I wonder if any will make it down here or not. I don't believe the NAM as I know better by now, but other models bring moisture in and are quite close to something.
 
I just hope here in Birmingham we squeeze out a few flurries. If Houston metro area does & we don't I might feel some type of way lmao
 
Looks good for download (8).png sleet in GA.
