Winter Weather Advisory Issued For South Alabama
February 2, 2011
A winter weather advisory has been issued for South Alabama, including Escambia County, Alabama. The advisory does not currently include any Florida counties.
The National Weather Service has issued the advisory from 6 p.m. Wednesday until 6 p.m. Thursday.
According to the NWS, very cold surface based Arctic air and strong wind energy in the jet stream aloft will work in concert to produce a period of freezing rain developing later tonight and continuing through late Thursday afternoon.
The precipitation will likely begin as a period of sleet late tonight over interior southeastern Mississippi and interior southwest Alabama and develop northeastward as the night progresses to be approximately north of a line from Perkinston, Mississippi to Citronelle, Appleton,Andalusia and Brantley in Alabama.
“We must emphasize the NWS expects the wintry precipitation to begin as sleet and then change over to freezing rain as the night progresses,” the National Weather Service said in their advisory.
The most intense precipitation rates are still expected around sunrise and will endure through tomorrow afternoon. Up to roughly fifteen hundredths of an inch of liquid equivalent rainfall could occur, and this will create a light to moderate glaze accrual especially on bridges and overpasses. Less than a half inch of sleet is expected at the onset of the precipitation and before it changes to freezing rain.
