No major changes in the forecast from the 12Z to the 18Z model data. Consistency is what you like to see when it comes to a winter weather forecast. We're anxious to see what the 0Z model data will provide.



By midnight, expect a cold rain with showers and storms moving throughout the area. As you can see above, temperatures aloft are too warm to support frozen precipitation for the evening hours; however, by dawn, that rain will mix with sleet north of I-40. The cold air will eventually work south, changing the River Valley to sleet by the late morning.

Afternoon snow showers are expected all across the area.
