Mid-South Meteorology: Snow, Rain or Ice Friday, then again Sunday Into Monday

COLD for the next couple of days, then we're keeping our eye on 2 possible wintry events....

Friday: We'll have a chanced for some rain and/or snow as an upper level disturbance moves through the area, but at this point, it doesn't appear to be a major event! Any snow accumulations for our area, according to this model would be less than 2 inches, and there's a chance we might not see anywhere close to even that.

Sunday into Monday: THIS is the time frame we're most concerned about. There's a possibility for a pretty good rain, snow OR ice! Of course a LOT can change between now and then and quite frankly, the temperatures profiles from the various models are ALL OVER THE PLACE! So since the system which should trigger the precipitation is still so far away, it's very difficult to determine what is going to fall where. We'll have to get much closer to the event to have a better idea. Just be prepared and stay tuned.

This model run actually puts the "rain/ice/snow" line just north of, but close to, the Ohio River by Monday morning. A change of just a few miles could make a big difference.

This graphic shows the percentage chance of 1 hour of more of freezing rain by Sunday morning, based on historically similar systems to the one expected the later part of this weekend.
