Mid-South Meteorology: Chances for Strong Storms Tonight, Ice Storm first of next week

While we have a chance for strong storms tonight, our attention is shifting to the chances for ICE, freezing rain, beginning Sunday night, through Tuesday. Here's the latest: There's a lot of uncertainty right ow, among computer models regarding our chances for freezing rain Sunday night through Tuesday. While one model calls for it, another forecast lesser possibilities. It should come into better focus ovr the next few days, however, I, for one, will be testing my generator this weekend!

Here's the latest graphic and it depicts areas with at least a trace amount of freezing rain into Sunday evening. As you can see, it includes our area. The scale to the right indexes the percent probability of at least a trace of ice. So far, we're not calling for higher amounts, say a quarter of an inch or more, but we'll watch the models, especially into the weekend to monitor changes to the models! Stay Tuned!
