Southeast winter storm later this week

There is increasing confidence in a developing winter storm over Texas and Oklahoma late this week [Thursday - Friday | January 9 - January 10] bringing wintry precipitation to the Southeast beginning Friday afternoon [January 10] into Saturday [January 11].

The signal in the models for snow [and even some ice] continue to increase the probability for snow generally along and north of I-20 from Texas to South Carolina. In fact, the probability of 1 inch or more of snow is higher than 50% from northern Alabama into northern Georgia and Upstate North Carolina, north into North Carolina and Tennessee. While confidence is increasing in wintry precipitation for these areas, the amounts and where the snow, ice and rain fall is less certain. These details will continue to be ironed out over the coming days. Keep checking back for updates over the coming days.
