As of this posting ONLY expecting snow to fall at a rate where it may accumulate for just a few hours, general time frame 1pm to 1am tomorrow, best estimate of accumulation window is 4p-7pm Thursday...
with the ground temps lower than normal due to the cold snap we can not just write off travel conditions due to melting as would usually be the case. Even if we get only a dusting or a coating, it along with falling temps and below freezing over night could "flash freeze" whatever moisture there is for some problems, if not on roads in general, then at least bridges and over-passes.
I see no way anyone gets more than 2 inches (pending new data later today and of course tomorrow) as of now, with amounts from zero to one inch the more likely scenario as I see it. May be another situation where MS, LA, and AL get a lot more than GA as it fizzles and partiailly evaporates on this side of the mountain ridges.
Tomorrow afternoon (unless things look different with future data) it will become a radar watching game with the concern: impact on pm drive if any, school kids on buses returning home, church-sports-school schedule-business impacts Thursday evening and Friday Morning (any excuse for a 3-day weekend by some schools?)
Forecasts are subject to change in case you didn't know. :) They are not written in stone or spoken from a burning bush. They are subject to computer error and human error.
For updates now it's best to tune-in on the radio to my reports on the News at AM 750 WSB.
Thanks and God Bless.
Peace.
