First ice storm warning in Alabama and it sounds grim. ...ICE STORM WARNING IN EFFECT FROM MIDNIGHT FRIDAY NIGHT TO 6 PM CST SUNDAY... * WHAT...Significant icing expected. Total snow and sleet accumulations up to one inch and ice accumulations between one quarter of an inch to one inch. * WHERE...Colbert, Franklin AL, and Lauderdale Counties. * WHEN...From midnight Friday Night to 6 PM CST Sunday. * IMPACTS...Roads, and especially bridges and overpasses, will likely become slick and hazardous. Significant ice accumulation on power lines and tree limbs may cause widespread and long-lasting power outages. Expect power outages that last more than a day and extensive tree damage due to the ice. Travel could be impossible. Significant cold weather is expected after this winter weather, so any power outages may result in dangerous indoor temperatures.

The only time the mountains do us a favor. Some places going to see over .75” zr and I just wish them good luck. Power outages will be massive and tree damage will be extreme in those areas especially since the days after the storm it’s not going to melt.

Good luck to anyone in the freezing rain zones, cause it’s not going to to end well.

Kinda similar to the VD sleet storm in 07 just more south version.

Sleet and lower ratios for people

Looks like might be little more after that can you post 102 total?

NW of 95 gets burried

Gfs is colder cause the isn’t driving into Toronto

Looks like mostly a hold? Tiny move north?

Not much difference thru 48 either. Maybe the NW energy isn’t as strong and a little east

Thru 36 same thing pretty much the same except heights are like 25 miles south in the east lol

No serious changes to gfs thru 24. If anything the confluence is a tiny bit stronger.

Ain’t worried about qpf on the models yet that will bounce around till tomorrow. Let’s get temps good first

Rgem continues the colder trend

Rgem coming in looking flatter as well.

Here’s the 6z and 12z comparison

Icon was heading euro and gfs way. Onto the real models now

Was not the best lol

Icon should be significantly improved this run

It’s two different models it’s not a shift of anything.

It will figure it out by hour 12 maybe

For it being the Nam it’s not bad lol. 5” on the Nam may as well be 10” on the legit models

Nam being the Nam my guess that light zone is actually snow. You don’t have a light precip zone in middle of the heavies

No it is less. Energy not as far out in from as it was at 6z

Not sure how it totally plays out but should be better than 6z for sure
