Morning Update for Snow Chances Tonight (Wednesday, February 25th)

We're still dry in West Tennessee so far, but I can't say the same for our neighbors to the south across parts of Arkansas and Mississippi. This is a look at public reports through an interactive weather app called mPING* of precipitation types over the last 6 hours...

A lot of locations across Mississippi have reported sleet or rain recently with most of the precip having stayed farther south of a line from Tupelo, MS to Clarksdale, MS. Temperatures have been fickle, flirting with freezing in those locations, while most of West Tennessee, including Jackson, just got to 31° at 10:00 a.m. this morning. Temperatures will continue to rise in West Tennessee but in locations where snow, sleet, or freezing rain is being reported the temperature will remain steady or drop.

Our latest snowfall forecast from last night still had a dusting to 2" in southeastern-most parts of West Tennessee toward McNairy and Hardin counties. However, with the recent model trends showing the system staying farther south and hardly even making it over the Tennessee-Mississippi line, we could be looking at only a dusting in some areas. If the precip begins as rain, it'll be pretty hard for the snow to stick, making for a big bust in this forecast.

In other words, now it's time to wait and see! Send us your reports and pictures if you can! Precip will approach the southern counties of West Tennessee during the late afternoon and continue moving northeast from there on out through the evening.

*If you would like to use mPING to send in your reports of what type of precip you're seeing, you can - it's easy! All you need is a smart phone or tablet. For Apple devices the app can be downloaded on iTunes and for Android devices the app can be downloaded on Google Play. If you'd like to view the reports from others for yourself, you can do so on the app or on their website.
