Mid-South Meteorology: Changes In The Outlook For Potential Winter Storm Next Week

We've been hearing a lot about what might happen Tuesday into Wednesday, but it looks like our best chance for snow might be Sunday night into Monday morning. We're not talking about much though although there's still some uncertainty. Two of the main forecasting models are pointing toward around 2 inches possible Sunday night, but right now, it appears it might be well overdone, with a more likely chance of an inch or less, especially around the KenTenn area.

The latest data for NEXT WEEK appears to indicate ice will be more of a concern than snow, and the ice should mostly be limited to portions of Southern Illinois and not so much Western Kentucky. It looks like the temperatures will keep most of us in a mostly rain event with a chance for some freezing rain. Problems from freezing rain appear to mostly be to our north, BUT things could change, so we'll keep watching and updating!

In the meantime, beware the snowmaggedon hype on the social media. I love social media, but in some ways it has replaced the beauty shop and barber shop if you know what I mean!
