Rain To Snow Later Today/Tonight

The eastern parts of Region 8 will see rain through the day, but many indications show a changeover to snow later today. The above image is the "Dominant Precip Type" product from the NSSL-WRF. It's a nice little product passed down to me from Patrick Marsh. Notice the snow breaking out in Extreme Eastern Arkansas and West TN.... Let's go a little farther into the future as the cold air works in... and the precipitation starts moving back to the west, wrapping around the low:

At this time, the snow is falling from Jonesboro to Wynne and points East. This seem very possible and if this occurred, we would at least see a dusting to 1" on grass and cars somewhere in Eastern Arkansas. Notice the snow extending down into Northern Mississippi too! Moving ahead...

The storm starts moving East with snow still along the river, but West TN and Northern MS are still getting hammered and they will have more moisture to work with than us in Region 8...

Even into Wednesday Morning, it will be snowing in West TN. I fully expect someone near the Tennessee River to get 6"+. Should be fun to watch!

I'm packing my dinner for tonight and I will be giving updates on my Twitter feed and on the blog. Probably not a big storm for us, but we'll watch as it "clips" us!
