OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS MUCH HAS BEEN DISCUSSED IN REGARDS TO THE POTENTIAL FOR WINTER WEATHER FRIDAY. UNFORTUNATELY...DUE TO THE LACK OF CONTINUITY IN THE FORECAST MODELS...FORECAST CONFIDENCE REMAINS LOW. TIMING REMAINS VERY CONSISTENT IN ALL OF THE FORECAST MODELS...AS FRIDAY LOOKS TO BE OUR TARGET DAY. BUT WITH THE UNCERTAINTY ON THE TRACK OF THE SURFACE LOW...WHICH WILL DETERMINE NOT ONLY THE AMOUNT OF MOISTURE THAT IS OFFERED UP WITH THIS SYSTEM...BUT ALSO HOW FAR THE FREEZING LINE WILL DIG INTO THE SOUTH...IT IS STILL TOO EARLY TO PINPOINT WHERE AND HOW MUCH SNOW WILL FALL IN CENTRAL ALABAMA. FOR NOW...THE BEST CHANCE FOR ANY ACCUMULATION OF WINTER PRECIPITATION REMAINS GENERALLY ALONG AND SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 20... ESPECIALLY DURING THE MORNING HOURS ON FRIDAY. IN THE WORST CASE SCENARIO...A BAND OF HEAVY SNOW COULD SET UP ACROSS THE STATE...DROPPING 1 TO 3 INCHES IN A FAIRLY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. PLEASE BEGIN TO PLAN AHEAD ON HOW A COUPLE OF INCHES OF SNOW COULD AFFECT YOU AND YOUR FAMILY...BEFORE IT ACTUALLY FALLS. CHECK BACK WITH US FREQUENTLY FOR THIS POTENTIAL OF WINTER WEATHER ON FRIDAY.
