Accumulations Forecast (Southern Plains, South, and Southeast)

Christopher Nunley

Here’s an updated accumulations forecast for the Southern Plains, South, and Southeast from tonight through Saturday. Many areas will see a transition from one precipitation type to another, which is hard to spatially demonstrate on a small map while making the image legible. Please note, forecasting wintry precipitation for the South is extremely difficult. Any banding, convection, unforeseen temperature inversions, as well as other variables can significantly alter potential wintry accumulations. (If you want to read a detailed discussion about the synoptic setup of the event, please see the previous article for those details.)
