... Early season snow expected Friday night...
Light snow is expected to move across portions of central and
eastern Mississippi and northern portions of northeast Louisiana for
Friday night. Total snow accumulation of up to one inch will be
possible across this region which includes the Interstate 20
corridor. Most of the snow will accumulate on grassy and elevated
surfaces... though some slush on area roadways could result in a few
slick spots. Heavier snow accumulations will be possible further
south... where a Winter Storm Watch is in effect.
A vigorous upper level disturbance will move across the area Friday
night. In response... moisture will be transported into the region
while low pressure develops in the Gulf of Mexico. With a cold
airmass in place... light snow is expected to fall along and north of
Interstate 20 for Friday night.
Please stay tuned for later statements regarding the potential for
winter weather on Friday night.
