Some wintry precipitation is likely across parts of northern Louisiana and north/central Mississippi and Alabama this weekend.
A dynamic storm system is going to slide across the Deep South/Southeast tomorrow and Sunday. Widespread rain is likely ahead of the surface low. There will be potential for an isolated strong/severe storm in the Florida Panhandle and along portions of the west coast of Florida tomorrow through early Sunday within the warm sector.
The Storm Prediction Center has defined a marginal (level 1 out of 5) risk for severe weather with the primary threats being an isolated tornado or two and strong/damaging wind gusts.
Some light snow and or a wintry mix will become possible across north Louisiana starting late tomorrow afternoon/tomorrow evening continuing through early Sunday on the backside of the low.
Light snow and or a wintry mix will then become possible across north/central Mississippi and Alabama Sunday morning continuing through much of the day.
Currently impacts are expected to be limited to minor. The best chance of any frozen precipitation, and therefore any impacts, still looks to be north of if I-20. Any accumulations should be less than 1″ (in fact, likely less than 1/2″, for most locations). But some high totals (possibly in the 1 – 2″ range) will be possible in far north Mississippi and northeast Alabama.
However, it should be noted is very hard to forecast snow/frozen precipitation in the South, and changes remain possible.
