Clouds will start to increase through the day today with a chance for rain moving into the area tomorrow morning.
The latest from the HRRR model shows the rain moving intot eh region by midnight across Louisiana but closer to 4am for Mississippi.
It is during this window when I think some “wet-bulbing” have help to offer a chance for some brief snowflakes to mix in with the rain – or a short burst of full-on snowfall.
But the chance that you see a wintry mix is dependent on a few things. First, we need to make some snowflakes, then we need to keep the column of air near or below-freezing from the ground up to where we are building those snowflakes, and we can’t be too dry in the lower levels so the snow sublimates before it reaches the ground.
And so far, it looks like the area most likely to see this happen is in the highlighted area on teh map above.
Beyond that, the next system that arrives on Friday may have some elevated showers and storms with some gusty wind. Severe weather isn’t anticipated at this time.
