NWS Memphis had this below to say in their special weather statement for west Tennessee. Also- Winter storm watches now up for about 10 counties in north central Arkansas as well. ...Winter Storm to impact the Mid-South This Weekend... A potent upper level low pressure system will move into the Mid-South this weekend. Rain will begin to mix with snow across Northeast Arkansas and the Missouri Bootheel Saturday afternoon and will change to all snow by sunset Saturday evening. The transition from rain to snow will occur across the rest of the Mid-South from west to east Saturday Night into Sunday as colder temperatures spread into the region. It is too early to pinpoint exact amounts and locations of the heaviest snowfall. Snowfall amounts will be heavily dependent on the exact track of the system. At this time, it appears the greatest potential for a moderate to significant snowfall will occur across areas along and north of the Tennessee and Mississippi state line. However, all the Mid-South will likely see winter weather impacts with this system. Travel will become hazardous Saturday Night into Sunday. Stay tuned to the latest forecasts.

Appreciate that, buddy!

I Had thunder and lighting on Sunday at my house. Here recently that’s meant a lock for an incoming snow in the area. We will see if that holds true again this time, personally I think it will. And for the record, the Euro did outstanding with the last storm.

Had it this morning on my way into work in Collierville, lots of lightning on a morning drive is always fun to see. Wouldn’t surprise me if some of you guys see the same later today. Rain is torrential also

Had some thunder and lighting this morning on my way into work in Collierville. Rain is coming down HEAVY now. It’s Gonna be a gully washer for a lot of people as this system moves across the state today.

For MBY seems like the euro did the best job sniffing out where the rain snow line would set up. Pretty impressive honestly

I think your in a good spot, Jax.

Modes act like they want to bulk that precipitation up once it crosses the Mississippi River too. Hopefully it continues to build like the models show and we can have more areas see some snowfall.

Gfs was too far south with the snow line In southwest Tn. Had us in the 1-2 range. I’d bump the southern edge up 30miles north at the least

25 miles south of Jackson and there is no snow at all. Cutoff line is steep as advertised. I hate situations like that

If Your In central Tn the radar looks really good for you guys. Just some light freezing rain so far on the southwest side of the state.

Roads are pretty hazardous this morning in hardeman county. Lots of ice patches and snow on the highways/ side roads. I’m surprised it stuck so well to the roads honestly

Front yard, and yeah man it is awesome! Definitely over achieved here

I agree brother, definitely makes for a great Sunday afternoon!

Large flakes coming down now in bolivar at a moderate rate. Looks like we will have a few hours of this.

Thanks Houston. Light to steady rain mixing in with some sleet right now in bolivar.

Memphis Int'l Airport officially reached 79° before the rain hit yesterday, tying the ALL-TIME January high temperature record, last set in 2002. It also breaks the daily record by 3°. And the next day snow is rolling through Memphis with temps in the low 30’s. Just short of a 50 degree swing in 24 hours, really Impressive stuff.

The wind chills on the back side of this system are pretty stout as you can tell by the map posted above.

Fayetteville, Arkansas reporting anywhere from a dusting up to an inch around the city.

The Bands setting up in Arkansas look decent honestly, moving a tad slower than anticipated as well. We will see how they do as they move across the Mississippi River though, as that’s were stuff usually falls apart for us in west Tn.

Glad to see you posting, Kasper!

Should have snow falling in west Tennessee around 10am-11am this morning. I’ll let you guys know how it performs on the west side of the state once it starts. Hope everyone can score a nice Snow today/tonight.

Seems like a good consensus among models right now for us to get possibly our coldest air of the year coming into play around the 7th/8th of January. Single digit lows across the state on the CMC for Saturday the 8th. Definitely a strong signal for cold showing up
