[Email1] New Update just posted

Hello all.

Here is the newest Mesoscale update that the NWS BMX just issued a minute
ago:

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BIRMINGHAM AL
613 PM CST SUN JAN 5 2014

.UPDATE...
MESOSCALE UPDATE.

&&

.DISCUSSION...

THE COLD FRONT HAS PUSHED TO A DOUBLE SPRINGS TO CARROLLTON LINE
AT 6 PM. THE FRONT IS MOVING EAST AT 30 MPH. THERE HAS NOT BEEN
ANY REPORTS OF A CHANGE FROM RAIN TO WINTRY PRECIPITATION ACROSS
NORTHERN MISSISSIPPI. THE BACK EDGE OF THE RAIN WAS NEAR TUPELO
MISSISSIPPI AND IT IS ENDING BEFORE SURFACE TEMPERATURES OR THE
AIR COLUMN FALL BELOW FREEZING. SURFACE TEMPERATURES ARE STILL
FAIRLY MILD AHEAD OF THE FRONT...WITH READINGS IN THE 50S. ANY
FROZEN PRECIPITATION THAT MAY FALL THIS EVENING WILL MOSTLY MELT
ON SURFACES NOT ELEVATED. THERE COULD STILL BE A BRIEF TRANSITION
TO WINTRY PRECIPITATION ON THE BACK EDGE OF THE RAIN...BUT THE
BIGGEST CONCERN OVERNIGHT IS THE FALLING TEMPERATURES. THE
FREEZING LINE IS NEAR TUPELO...AND ANY RESIDUAL MOISTURE ON
EXPOSED ELEVATED SURFACES WILL BEGIN TO FREEZE AS THE FREEZING
TEMPERATURES PUSH FARTHER EASTWARD. GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS BEHIND
FRONT WILL HELP OUT THE DRYING PROCESS. THE FORECAST WAS UPDATED
TO SHOW RAIN AS THE PREVAILING PRECIPITATION TYPE...WITH A CHANCE
OF FREEZING RAIN/SLEET/SNOW. ALSO ENDED THE PRECIPITATION A LITTLE
QUICKER THAN PREVIOUS FORECAST.

58/ROSE
