@MO_WX Hi! Hope you’re doing well! Would love to hear your thoughts on Monday

@MemphisExpat Too early to narrow that down, but my early shot at it is sometime 5pm-10pm

@MO_WX Oh man. 😳We currently live in a two-story condo complex without a basement. Best place is interior closet on bottom floor here. Should I try and go somewhere with a basement this time?

@CameronCW13 Must have been extremely shallow. Especially felt as far as Memphis!

@CameronCW13 Im in the big minority of give me freezing rain over sleet haha
English

@MO_WX It’ll be a hell of a lot better than a full blown freezing risk event but it certainly still sucks🙃
English

@CameronCW13 I really hate sleet and im hoping we're a couple degrees colder to prevent it up here in that second wave but not optimistic lol

@MO_WX It’ll transition with time I feel like with WAA and temps in process of plummeting. We’ll see how this goes!

SUNDAY, January 25 – get ready for THUNDER-ICE, THUNDERSLEET and/or THUNDERSNOW. It will impact much of the South, the Southeast and Midwest.
I believe this will be a highly convective (electrified) system. That will allow sporadic lightning strikes to accompany heavy snowfall, sleet or freezing rain.
Yes, it's bizarre. Yes, it's rare. It's also an indicator of how dynamic this storm is.
The key to this storm is "overrunning" – warm, humid air is swept in on southerly winds at the mid levels of the atmosphere. It rides up and over a shallow lip of frigid, subfreezing air at ground level. In Mississippi, for example, it'll be 44 degrees at 5,000 feet, but just 25 at the surface!
That warm air aloft helps make for some instability, or thunderstorm fuel, above our chilly layer. In East Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, southeast Arkansas and southwest Tennessee, I expect some thunder and lightning with the heaviest freezing rain. Even if temperatures are in the 20s!
Farther north, there could be a few claps of thundersleet at the transition line in Arkansas or northwest Tennessee.
Then from southern Missouri through Kentucky and also perhaps in a secondary zone in New England, I'm expecting thundersnow. A couple lightning bolts may be interspersed within the heaviest snowfall.
Just like you wouldn't play outside during a summer thunderstorm, don't be outside shoveling, etc. during thundersnow, thundersleet or thunder-ice.
