Some Models Show Snow In Alabama On Christmas Day

Well here we go Will it Snow or will it not snow? That is the million dollar question. Some models say yes right now the European says about 1-2" across the Tennessee Valley with the 540 line right about the Tennessee River, the Canadian is looking like 5"+ in North Alabama and 2-3" along the I-20 corridor with the 540 line near Birmingham, and the GFS is saying just a few flurries in the Tennessee Valley (notice the wrap around moisture in North Alabama)with the 540 line just across the state line. The ECMWF (European) has been pretty aggressive the last couple days, and the Canadian is now the most aggressive. The NAM and GFS have been a little hesitant and with the the 4 split since the Euro and Canadian have not fared well this Cold Season so far most local Mets are working around it but they do mention it from time to time and are really waiting until most likely Thursday to really talk it up or knock it down. Always remember THIS IS NO FORECAST just a outlook. Look at the to model outlooks for first of January looks to be a couple of potent Snowy events on the table but it will change as well. I know most people will be hoping the the Canadian holds true as it is the most robust of the 4.It may fall completely off of the table, but it is sure nice to see it possible. Only time will tell, I will have more tomorrow evening.
