... Wintry precipitation expected Monday afternoon and Monday evening...
Increasing mid level moisture will overspread the midsouth on
Monday morning with very dry air remaining in place near the
surface. As the atmosphere continues to moisten Monday afternoon...
precipitation will work its way down to the surface... gradually
overcoming the dry air. As it does so... temperatures will cool and
support snow or sleet by late Monday afternoon across much of the
midsouth.
Warmer mid level air will then begin to track north Monday
evening with a transition from snow or sleet... to a mix... to all
rain by midnight in most locations.
It appears the best chance for accumulating snow will be along and
north of I-40 through early Monday evening. Depending on a number
of factors that remain unclear this far out... accumulations of
around 2 inches are possible over northeast Arkansas... the
Missouri bootheel... and northwest Tennessee... with amounts tapering
off to less than a half inch over northern Mississippi.
While there is a small chance some freezing rain may mix in Monday
evening... any noticeable ice accumulation appears unlikely at this
time.
The Monday afternoon commute may be impacted by this wintry
precipitation so midsouth residents should keep updated to the
latest forecasts as details become more certain.
