Early Accumulations North, w/ Precipitation Mixing it Up
While the precipitation began, the atmospheric conditions were ripe for a changeover to snow from northern parts of North Alabama all the way up into Middle Tennessee. Areas of Freezing Rain accumulation early began to threaten many of our plans for Friday and Saturday.
Atmospheric computer models were starting to all agree that warmer air would soon overtake the cold, and change virtually everything into rain.
Voila.
Showers moved across the Valley well into the evening hours of Friday. A few freezing temperatures may cause patches of ice in the overnight and morning hours of Saturday, then again on Sunday, so be aware of any areas of what seems to be water on the roads. It might be a patch of ice.
The weekend will remain chilly, with morning lows falling into the teens Sunday. Then the highs will slowly climb out of the cellar to start the new week, as showers will dampen parts of next week.
