...WINTER STORM MAY AFFECT THE REGION THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY...

IT IS POSSIBLE THAT A SIGNIFICANT WINTER STORM WILL AFFECT A LARGE
PART OF THE ARKLAMISS REGION THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY. A
STRENGTHENING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO MOVE ACROSS THE
NORTHERN GULF OF MEXICO DURING THIS TIME...SPREADING PRECIPITATION
ACROSS THE AREA. AT THE PRESENT TIME...IT APPEARS AS THOUGH MOST OF
THE PRECIPITATION ASSOCIATED WITH THIS WINTER WEATHER EVENT WILL BE
IN THE FORM OF SNOW...ALTHOUGH SOME SLEET...FREEZING RAIN OR RAIN
COULD OCCUR ACROSS SOUTHERN AREAS SHOULD THE LOW TRACK FARTHER NORTH
THAN CURRENTLY FORECAST.

THIS WEATHER EVENT IS STILL 2 TO 3 DAYS AWAY...AND SIGNIFICANT
UNCERTAINTY EXISTS REGARDING THE EXACT TRACK OF THE LOW AND THE
ASSOCIATED TEMPERATURES AND PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS. HOWEVER...IT
APPEARS PROBABLE THAT MOST OF THE AREA COULD RECEIVE ACCUMULATING
SNOW...WITH SOME PARTS OF THE AREA POSSIBLY RECEIVING HEAVY SNOW OF
SEVERAL INCHES. THE AREA MOST VULNERABLE TO HEAVY SNOW CURRENTLY
LOOKS TO BE ALONG AND SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 20...ALTHOUGH THIS COULD
CHANGE BASED ON THE EVENTUAL TRACK OF THE LOW.

IT MUST BE EMPHASIZED THAT THIS EVENT IS STILL A FEW DAYS AWAY...AND
FORECASTS COULD CHANGE SIGNIFICANTLY. RESIDENTS AND PEOPLE PLANNING
TRAVEL IN THE ARKLAMISS REGION SHOULD STAY ABREAST OF THE LATEST
FORECASTS REGARDING THIS WINTER WEATHER POTENTIAL.
