A few notes at mid-morning...

*Gunnison, CO was the cold spot in the nation this morning with 17 below zero.

*The 12Z NAM is in the house and continues to show a good soaking cold rain event Wednesday afternoon into Wednesday night and early Thursday. The extraction shows 1.33" of rain for Birmingham, with temperatures hovering in the 42 to 47 degree range here as the rain falls. Still looks like all rain here, with a major ice problem for parts of the western Carolinas.

*Concerning the potential winter storm threat early next week, the GFS puts down 24 inches of snow over the Carolinas with that system. That is TWO FEET. Of course, a specific solution can be trusted right now. Is it possible? Yes. Is it likely? Probably not.

Will have the full discussion and video ready by 3:30...

Let me ask one question , just in case Al Gore is blogging with us./... If we are dealing with global warming, then how come so much of the country is under snow already??

Hey Rusty let's look at the new 12z run when it comes out so let us know what is showing. I know this can change but we want snow here I don't want the snow we had in 93 but I do want snow.

12z run backs off on the threat. Moisture is well south as the high pressure area over the middle of the country supresses it on THIS run. This could change from run to run. We should all have a better idea of the situation in about 4-5 days. Have a look at www.talkweather.com where everyone discusses the patterns and possible outcomes of these runs.
