Just wondering - what is QPF? I'm not that up on terminology. Thanks in advance.

It's snowed several times since I've lived in the Burg (moved here in 2001) when the forecast didn't mention it until the last second. We've also had forecasts for significant snow (4+ inches) and barely got a dusting.

Your right, you never know what could happen. I remember watching the Sugar Bowl (LSU vs Illinois) on Jan. 1, 2002 and it started snowing at halftime. We had 3 1/2 inches the next morning. The last good snow we've had in the 'Burg was in 2010, we're overdue for a good dusting.
The latest map from the NWS in Jackson has changed again, Wintry Mix for Natchez, and 3 to 6 inches in the Greenville/Greenwood area in the north. Nothing for Hattiesburg but a cold rain.
Hammy wrote:Here in north Georgia around Winder, it looks like once again they severely overestimated the snow totals, we're supposed to get 2-4 inches overnight, meanwhile not one model shows overnight snow anywhere closer than 25 miles north, and the snow line if anything seems to be moving further and further north as the night goes on.
BigB0882 wrote:Very interesting, that is not far off for the GFS. Does it have any other support? Would appear to be quite the ice storm for the south all the way to the coast. I didn't even think we would see freezing again this winter so I wonder how accurate this is.

The meteorologist mentioned that the temps listed for Thursday (high of 52) may be colder than they are currently showing and he said that winter weather may enter parts of the state. He didn't specifically say Baton Rouge had to worry but the fact he even mentioned it at all is interesting to me. The 18z GFS is rolling so I am curious how that run comes out. I would love if it trended colder AND wetter but that is like winning the lottery around here.

18Z still has significant frozen precip but the freeze line moved a little north and it's a little slower like the CMC. I think we definitely have a storm in the makings, but how far south the cold air gets while the precip is still falling is the question. Could be a potential severe weather event as well.
I doubt we will get nothing more than rain Wednesday night and Thursday. The GFS has been wrong all winter.

It was about 39-41 degrees the whole time it rained...I wish it could have been cold enough for snow.
