Mid-Morning Look

James Spann | 9:24 am February 8, 2011 | Comments (23)
About to head into Oxford Middle School for a weather program, but here is a quick peek at the new 12Z RPM snow accumulation output…

This shows a good two to three inch snow for just about everybody along and north of I-20, with potential for one inch or so down into counties like Tuscaloosa and Shelby tomorrow night.
We note the 12Z NAM is colder and looks better for those hoping for snow south of I-20.
Time to really dig into the forecast soundings and take a look at moisture available in the main snow growth zones… I will have the updated snow accumulation potential graphic when the afternoon discussion is posted around 3:00 or so today…
