...WINTER WEATHER POTENTIAL FOR FRIDAY...

OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS MUCH HAS BEEN DISCUSSED IN REGARDS TO THE POTENTIAL FOR WINTER WEATHER ON FRIDAY. AT THIS TIME...THE FORECAST IS BEGINNING TO BE MORE CONSISTENT THAT THERE WILL BE A CHANCE FOR AN ACCUMULATING SNOW ACROSS PORTIONS OF CENTRAL ALABAMA. THE TIMING FOR THIS EVENT REMAINS VERY CONSISTENT IN ALL OF THE FORECAST MODELS...AS FRIDAY LOOKS TO BE THE TARGET DAY. HOWEVER...SOME UNCERTAINTY REMAINS ON THE TRACK OF THE SURFACE LOW...WHICH WILL DETERMINE NOT ONLY THE AMOUNT OF MOISTURE THAT IS OFFERED UP WITH THIS SYSTEM...BUT ALSO...HOW FAR THE FREEZING LINE WILL DIG INTO THE SOUTH. AS OF WEDNESDAY MORNING...THE BEST FORECAST FOR SNOW AMOUNTS OF AROUND 2 INCHES WILL BE BETWEEN THE INTERSTATE 20 AND HIGHWAY 80 CORRIDORS...WITH 1 TO 2 INCHES NORTH AND SOUTH OF THIS AREA. A TRACE TO ONE-HALF INCH IS EXPECTED FROM TROY TO EUFAULA. PLEASE BEGIN TO PLAN AHEAD ON HOW SEVERAL INCHES OF SNOW COULD AFFECT YOU AND YOUR FAMILY...BEFORE IT ACTUALLY FALLS. CHECK BACK WITH US FREQUENTLY ON THIS POTENTIAL FOR WINTER WEATHER FRIDAY. ON THE WEB...CHECK OUT OUR HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK AND OUR MULTIMEDIA IMPACT BRIEFING FOR THE LATEST INFORMATION.
