Winter Stops By For Another Visit

Saturday featured spectacular weather with plenty of sunshine and temperatures in the low 50's, but winter looks to pay a visit yet again to the Stateline for the end of the weekend. And it all begins with this potent low pressure system that brought severe weather, including a couple of tornadoes, damaging winds, and hail, to parts of the deep South. 

Now, we won't see any severe weather with this system, but instead, a does a wintry precipitation. This potent low pressure system will lift to the north and track to the southeast of the viewing area. While doing so, a high pressure system off to the north will be pumping in cold air from the east. This will aid in the formation of a wet and heavy snow at first, then transitioning to a wintry mix later on in the morning.

The snow will be a wet and slushy type snow  as we could expect as much as an inch or two of snow with higher accumulations off towards the south and southeast. Pavement temperatures remain too warm for much in terms of accumulation, but if snowfall rates are able to reach maybe an inch per hour, it could be enough to overcome the warm temperatures. The snow will quickly accumulate on grassy surfaces.


There is a light at the end of the tunnel as temperatures on Monday climb into the low 50's. This should melt away any of what is hopefully winter's last last last last stand. Then we warm up into the 60's starting on Tuesday with a chance for some rain. Rain stays in the forecast as well as a chance for thunderstorms through Thursday. Then we will cool down into the 50's after a cold front pass through Thursday night!
