Winter storm spreading


Southeast Snow Forecast
 




The Dallas-Ft. Worth Metroplex dodged a bullet with just some minor amounts of freezing rain in northern and western sections of the area Monday. The Little Rock, Ark. metro area saw some light freezing rain Monday morning before turning to plain rain in the afternoon. More noteworthy ice accumulations, mainly on bridges and overpasses, occurred between those two metropolitan areas over the Arklatex region.
Snowflakes started flying in NashvilleMonday afternoon.
WEATHER 101
Tuesday brought icy conditions to parts of the southern Appalachians and adjacent Piedmont from western North Carolina into western Virginia. A few locations reported an ice glaze of one-tenth to two-tenths of an inch, but widespread heavy icing did not occur before a changeover to rain.
Rain will shift to all snow from west to east beginning later Tuesday into Wednesday over the Appalachians and adjacent hills of eastern Kentucky, eastern Tennessee, and even as far south as eastern Alabama and northwest Georgia.
Total snowfall accumulations should generally remain less than six inches in the southern Appalachians. A dusting of snow is possible as far south as the north Georgia mountains and the higher terrain of northeast and east-central Alabama (see map above at right).
Boreas is also spreading its tentacles into the Mid-Atlantic and the Northeast
