Tonight…moisture is increasing as a shortwave trough to the west is beginning to set off some rain/sleet on the radar screens across the deep south this evening. Most of this precipitation is not reaching the ground, but a few pockets of sleet have been reported primarily around the Jackson, MS metro area. This will continue to move eastward and may evaporate as it traverses the region until the column aloft can moisten up.

Anyway, don’t be surprised if you see a few ice pellets tonight as your journey out. Rainfall will increase tomorrow especially across southern sections of Alabama. Rainfall amounts north of I-20 should be fairly light with the wave passing by later tomorrow night.

Colder weather will arrive this weekend with some of the coldest air of the season on tap by next week. Get those heaters ready!
