re: Big Cold Blast Coming - Increasing chances of ice/light snow flurries Tuesday afternoon

IT means the odds of a big mess on roads during day on Tuesday are pretty decent. Temps are projected to be near freezing much of the day with LOTS of moisture present. Air just above the surface in BR will be slightly above freezing but above that should be freezing or below.
Translation: lots of sleet, then some snow later that evening is quite possible.

Wut? Translation for the dummies like me, please.
Basically the models make a simulation of the temperature profile of the air above us, and with the dew points as well. A "warm nose" refers to warmer, above freezing air just above the surface. In our case, it's pretty small, so would likely support sleet falling.
"Wet bulbing" refers to when you've got a precip falling through not completely saturated air. Some of it will evaporate, which draws energy out of the air and cools it down some. It's why the inside part of your AC is the evaporator. This action can act to cool the warm air above the surface enough to make straight snow.
The model soundings looked good for sleet and snow late afternoon on Tuesday.
Actual soundings are done at NWS sites everyday btw. That's why they have weather balloons, to get all the temperature and wind direction/speed data of the air from the ground to the upper levels.

Last fall didn't the NWS state that the Southeast would have a warmer and drier winter? I'm not feeling it.

Fingers crossed I’ll be getting some wet bulb action tonight.

18z GFS sounding for BR on Tuesday during the day look promising. A bit of a warm nose present just above the ground but it's subtle and a good moist column to work with. Would actually like a little bit drier just above the surface to get some wet bulb action. Up into Alabama, the GFS seemed to let Birmingham miss out on the action but their sounding looked great for snow. Sets up that everyone in the SE needs to keep an eye on things.
I really hope there is no snow next week. It is going to cause a lot of problems and cost the area tons of money and lives. I know you guys are hoping for that.

You're pretty much a grade-A douchebag in these threads. Tiger Rag would be proud.

Snow was showing up on radar over Laplace an hour or so ago. Not sure if anything made it to the ground.
