Snow Possible Sunday Night/Monday...

We're in for a wild swing in our weather over the weekend. It may be mild now, but temperatures will take a tumble tomorrow. Low pressure moving along a cold front will bring a significant amount of rain to start the weekend (Saturday into early Sunday). What happens after that could be very interesting. All of the model data continues to develop a second low with a very deep upper level low "cutting" off and moving slowly across the South. The solutions suggest at least a threat for some snow here Sunday night into early Monday. At this point, it's just too early to tell what the correct solution will be and everything has to come into place to make this happen. There are several possibilities depending on the track of the surface and upper lows. A surface track off the coast will mean less precipitation and possibly rob us of moisture by the time it gets cold enough to snow. The upper low itself should be able to wring out precipitation, although that alone could be more limited to higher elevations.

At this point, I believe we do have the threat for at least some snow Sunday night into early Monday, so we could be waking up to white Monday morning! Stay tuned for updates...
