Wild Weather Week Coming...

As we say good bye to January tomorrow, we will not say good bye to Winter. We could see highs 70+ both Monday & Tuesday before a strong cold front brings back the heavy weather gear for the rest of this week. The cold surge will keep highs in the 40s Wed-Friday and, with the upper flow remaining from the SW, there is the outside possibility of seeing a Gulf wave throw up moisture into the cold air Thursday & Friday. Could it be cold enough to see some snow? Perhaps close by, especially across the North Shore but it all depends how deep into the cold air we get. Below zero temps already have plunged into the northern plains and much of the eastern U.S. will have some kind of winter weather(Ice/snow) during the next 3-5 days. Stay tuned

fo far... Sunday 18z models show accumulating snow (up to 1") mainly northwest of Baton Rouge and around McComb and Northward... It seems to me each model run is trending colder and wetter... SO...it could definately be exciting around here by the end of the week! :)

I don't know where some of you are getting your information, but I see NO significant accumulating snow for SELA.
