Storm system moving through today...much colder air to follow...

>> Wednesday, December 07, 2011



A wet Wednesday forecast is on tap across our region with showers at times accompanying an area of low pressure. The steadiest and heaviest rain will be this afternoon, and the farther north and west you go in the region, the heavier the rain totals should be.

A few storms are possible, but the severe weather threat is low.

On the colder side of the system, snow is flying as I type in western Tennessee, eastern Arkansas, and northern Mississippi. For the second time in as many weeks, snow will be on the ground later today in the Tennessee Valley. Very impressive for this early in the season.

The rain will kick over to a fairly heavy, wet snow in the mountains this afternoon, and several inches of snow seem likely in many mountain locations.

Much colder air arrives tonight, and then we will see a reinforcing shot of cold air arrive for the weekend. Highs this weekend will largely be in the 40s.

Wow, 40s for the high this weekend. I don't think we had that yet so far this season. Hope the snow will follow the cold soon!

TY

P.S. Btw, I think around this time last year we had some nasty cold spells, right? I think we had one of the coldest December on record last year.

Yes, there were definitely some big cold blasts last December, and the month was one of the coldest Decs on record.
