Discussion
Very cold air has penetrated way down into the Deep South and it is going to set the stage for significant snow and ice across the southern US during the next couple of days. Low pressure is likely to form over the northwestern Gulf of Mexico later tomorrow and head slowly to the northeast bringing snow here from late tomorrow night through the morning hours on Friday. The snow can be heavy at times by Friday morning and it can mix with rain…several inches of snow accumulation are on the table (preliminary estimates of 3-6 inches). This system will push to the northeast of here by the early weekend ushering in a reinforcing cold air mass for the Tennessee Valley region.
