Yes. After some heavy rain Sunday, and some cold, nasty, weather for days to come, we could see rain become mixed with and even change to all snow by later Monday night and Tuesday morning. It could even accumulate, despite the warm, wet ground. As temperatures fall, an upper level low, with it’s own very cold air and dynamics aloft, will move across north Alabama. Weather models continue to show some very heavy snow in areas where it sets up just right, for a few hours.  This is where the bulleye sits at this time, though it will likely vary some.

These are the midnight runs of the major American weather models, and you can see a big difference, but it ranges from near two inches at Huntsville to over 6 inches near Russellville on the NAM model, and 1-2 inches near the state line to 3 or 4 in other areas on the GFS.

Note that the ground is warm, and this would mostly be on grassy areas, but it could come down so hard, so fast to cause some temporary travel issues late Monday night into Tuesday morning. And this comes AFTER perhaps 2 or 3 inches of rain.
As for down the road, November ends and December begins far colder than normal for us. Things should stay colder than normal well into December, but moderate slightly. Down the road a little more, the snowpack is filling in so that if we do get a cross polar flow, we could get a really good arctic outbreak. There is no way to know when yet, but it could happen by Christmas. Here is the snowpack looking from Asia towards Canada and the U.S.


Everyone get ready for a lot of rain, unseasonably cold air, and the chance for snow in the next few days. Until next time, Roll Tide(sorry, had to!)
