Areas affected...Southern Kentucky...Western and Middle
Tennessee...Far Northern Alabama...Far Northern Mississippi

Concerning...Winter mixed precipitation=20

Valid 241154Z - 241800Z

SUMMARY...A mix of wintry precipitation is expected this morning
from the Mid-South northeastward into Tennessee and southern
Kentucky, where snow, sleet and freezing rain will be possible this
morning.

DISCUSSION...The latest mosaic radar imagery across the southeastern
U.S. shows a large area of precipitation from Arkansas extending
eastward to the southern Appalachians. This precipitation is being
supported by strong lift associated with the right entrance region
of an expansive mid-level jet, and by ascent due to a 40 to 50 knot
low-level jet over the lower to mid Mississippi Valley. The nose of
the low-level jet will move east-northeastward across the Mid-South
and Tennessee Valley this morning, contributing to the maintenance
of widespread precipitation. RAP forecast soundings across the
region have a warm nose from 900 to 700 mb, where temperatures are
forecast to gradually warm to near 0 C after daybreak this morning.
This will result in a wintry mix of precipitation. Snow may continue
in parts of southern Kentucky through midday. However, further south
into western and middle Tennessee, a transition to sleet and
freezing rain will be likely. In far northern Mississippi and far
northern Alabama, the predominant precipitation type will be
freezing rain.
