LOOKING BACK: The morning event across Southeast Alabama was about as expected. Snow accumulation was light (generally 1" or less), and there was no impact (only wet roads, no power outages, etc). The snow on the grass is melting quickly this afternoon with a strong January sun and very dry air moving in. LOOKING AHEAD: A peek at the 12Z model output shows a potential high impact snow or ice event for North Alabama over the coming weekend. Many ensemble members support the idea. Way too early for a specific forecast, but just a heads up. Freezing rain or snow could be involved at some point this weekend for the northern half of the state that could be disruptive. Stay tuned.
