Discussion

Very cold air penetrated all the way down to the Gulf coast region during the past couple of days and it set the stage for significant snow and ice across much of the southern US including right here in the Huntsville metro region. Low pressure will head slowly to the east-to-northeast on Friday over the northern Gulf states bringing snow and ice here with several inches on the table (3-6”). This system will push to the east-northeast of here by Friday night ushering in a reinforcing cold air mass into the Tennessee Valley region for the upcoming weekend.
