Cold, Dry Air Bleeding In (Mix North & Northeast Tonight)
It is not even raining yet & many places are now dropping into the 30s with the “wedge” arriving. Cold, dry air behind a sort of back door surface cold front is leaking in the air, which will cool further once it starts to rain from the clouds. This will result in a mix of snow, sleet & rain in our north & northeast areas with a raw, cold rain elsewhere with lows of 33-37 tonight from northeast to southwest.
Rain will continue to overspread the area tonight-Saturday morning, may taper to areas of drizzle/mist for a while in the afternoon, before some rain returns & changes to a period of snow tomorrow night. Less 1″ of accumulation will occur in the area with 1-2″, perhaps in northern Newton, Jasper, Pulaski & Fulton counties.
It looks raw & damp Saturday with strong east-northeast to east winds of 15-20 mph with gusts to 32 mph. Highs will be 38-45 with lows Saturday night-Sunday morning near 30.
Sunday looks better with a good amount of sunshine & 41-46 with brisk winds of 10-15 mph with gusts to 25 mph.
