A Quick Late Night Weather Check Before Bed
The latest from radar is not really showing any snow falling, but that doesn’t mean that there may be some flakes mixed in with the light rain. The best news as of now is that there are no travel issues being mentioned, which means the forecast is right on target.
10 pm temperatures were too warm to be supportive for snow to stick to anything, ranging from the mid 30s to the lower 40s. Haleyville was the cool spot at 34 degrees, while the warm spots were Demopolis and Selma at 43 degrees. Birmingham was at 38 degrees.
Latest runs from the models are just showing that there is not enough moisture with this system to cause any issues, and the dewpoints remain too high for evaporative cooling to take place and allow snowflakes to form.
The coolest overnight lows will be over the southern half of the area, where there is no rain and mostly clear skies. Clouds over the northern half will keep the temps close to or above freezing. There looks to be a small window where the extreme northeastern part of the state in the higher elevations where some slick spots may develop, but not enough of a risk for an advisory to be issued.
