Mid Afternoon Quick Look

The low pressure area that we want to watch was along the Texas-Oklahoma border at mid-afternoon.

This low will slide toward the ESE and maybe form more southward. It should move eastward across South Alabama overnight.

With cold air north of the low, the northern part of the state is subject to getting some snow.

At 3 pm, there was no precipitation across Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi or Alabama. It will develop later.

Here in Central Alabama, the precipitation will hold off until after midnight.

We will be here for the duration...including all night tonight for frequent updates.

Meanwhile: check the new 7-day discussion by Bill Murray here:

Also check posts by James this morning and the video discussion by Brian this morning. James will probably post at other times through the event also.

For your information...our entire weather group is hooked into an instant network and we are all discussing the situation, exchanging ideas, you name it.

Thanks for the update J.B. , we know that you all are dedicated , despite some postings from yesterday . Everyone should keep in mind this is mother nature and our meteorologists do NOT control it . I know that there are some out there ready to throw the 'mud' which ever way this goes , but espically if it goes 'no event' for us . Before you send the nasty e-mails to these dedicated people, remember you are not being forced to read this & that a much greater power from above is watching you . Thanks again 3340 weather team & the guys at the NWS for your endless work .
