.UPDATE...

OVERRUNNING PATTERN REMAINS OVER THE MIDSOUTH THIS MORNING. LIGHT
RAIN AT TIMES MIXED WITH LIGHT SNOW OR SLEET CONTINUES TO PUSH IN
FROM THE SOUTH AHEAD OF A DEVELOPING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM. THIS TREND
WILL CONTINUE INTO THE AFTERNOON. AS TEMPERATURES SLOWLY
WARM...CHANCES FOR MIX PRECIP BECOME LESS AND LESS. ALTHOUGH
LOCATIONS WHERE PRECIP HAS NOT STARTED...NORTHEAST ARKANSAS AND
THE MISSOURI BOOTHEEL...COULD STILL SEE AN INITIAL SHOT OF LIGHT
SLEET WHEN PRECIP BEGINS OTHERWISE PRECIP WILL BE ALL RAIN.
CURRENT FORECAST LOOKS GOOD...WILL ONLY UPDATE TO GET RID OF
MORNING WORDING.

Interesting to say the least. I didnt think much of that was making it the ground.

[servocrow]

I noticed it on the radar, but was wondering if if was our old friend Queen Virga making her usual rounds.  ..pretty cool if it was hitting the ground though! 

[CookevilleWeatherGuy]

A 'very few' reports of precip....mostly the Queen...

[claya91]

Yeah I had family drive through Bells this morning a they called and told me that they drove through some brief sleet for a few minutes.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NASHVILLE TN
230 PM CST SAT NOV 24 2007

.DISCUSSION...COLD HIGH PRESSURE WAS MOVING OFF THE MID ATLANTIC
COAST THIS AFTERNOON. STORMY WX WAS CONTINUING TO DEVELOP FROM TX
TO THE LOWER MS VALLEY AND BACK OVER THE SOUTHWEST STATES. THE
FIRST SYSTEM WILL BRING SOME WET WX TO MID TN TONIGHT AND EARLY
SUNDAY...THEN THE SECOND STRENGTHENING SYSTEM WILL BRING A SHOT OF
BRIEFLY MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY.

THE FIRST SYSTEM HAS ALREADY DEVELOPED WIDESPREAD CLOUDS AND
OVERRUNNING PRECIPITATION REACHING ALL THE WAY INTO MID TN. THE
PRECIPITATION WAS MUCH LIGHTER THAN WOULD APPEAR ON RADAR IN OUR
AREA. ONLY A FEW SPRINKLES WERE REPORTED WITH TRACE RAINFALL
AMOUNTS SO FAR. AS THIS FIRST SHORTWAVE AND WEAK LOW LEVEL
REFLECTION CROSS OUR AREA TONIGHT...LIGHT RAIN WILL INCREASE IN
COVERAGE. MUCH OF THE RAIN WILL FALL ALONG AND SOUTH OF INTERSTATE
40...AND OVERNIGHT AMOUNTS SHOULD BE LESS THAN ONE QUARTER INCH
MOST AREAS. EARLY THIS MORNING...THE MEMPHIS AREA HAD REPORTS OF
PATCHY LIGHT SLEET. THIS MAY OCCUR AGAIN THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT
OVER PARTS OF MID TN AS THE MOISTURE ENCOUNTERS SOME DRY AND COLD
LAYERS. GREATEST CHANCE FOR THIS IS EAST OF INTERSTATE 65.
FORECAST SOUNDINGS ARE MARGINAL AND EVEN IF IT DOES OCCUR...NO
SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS ARE EXPECTED WITH PRECIPITATION BEING VERY
LIGHT AND TEMPERATURES REMAINING ABOVE FREEZING.

ON SUNDAY...CLOUDS WILL BLANKET THE AREA AND THERE WILL BE ON AND
OFF LIGHT RAIN. AMOUNTS SHOULD REMAIN ON THE LIGHT SIDE THROUGH
MOST OF HT DAY. RAINFALL COVERAGE AND INTENSITY WILL RAMP UP LATE
DAY IN THE WEST...AND ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA SUNDAY NIGHT AS THE
SECOND SYSTEM LIFTS NORTH ALONG THE MS RIVER. THE GFS SHOWS THE
SURFACE LOW TRACKING ACROSS MEMPHIS AND REACHING PADUCAH BY MONDAY
MORNING. GUSTY SOUTH WINDS WILL TRANSPORT PLENTY OF MOISTURE INTO
THE AREA LATE SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY MORNING. STRONG UPWARD
MOTION WILL PROVIDE A GOOD WIDESPREAD RAINFALL EVENT WITH
EMBEDDED CONVECTION FOR LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS.

THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AND UPPER LOW WILL LIFT QUICKLY INTO THE
OHIO VALLEY BY MONDAY NIGHT AS SOME WRAP AROUND SHOWER(S) LINGER.
FAIR WX IS EXPECTED UNDER HIGH PRESSURE FOR TUESDAY INTO
WEDNESDAY. MODELS ADVERTISE A COLD FRONT LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND
THURSDAY. WE WILL CARRY A CHANCE FOR SHOWERS WITH THIS FRONT AND
PERHAPS SOME POST FRONTAL SNOW SHOWERS NORTH AND PLATEAU ON
THURSDAY. GFS SHOWS A COLD AIR MASS BEHIND THIS FRONT WITH HIGH
POSSIBLY LIMITED TO THE 40S THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. PATTERN
PROGRESSES WITH RETURN FLOW AND ANOTHER FRONT BRINGING THE
POSSIBILITY OF RAIN NEXT WEEKEND

[CookevilleWeatherGuy]

We are getting moderate sleet here in Cook-vegas!

[Thundersnow]

I can attest to seeing the "bouncies" mixed in with the rain earlier.

It's getting to be that time of year.
