   Areas affected...Portions of far southeast AL and the western FL   
   Panhandle into southwest and central GA   
      
   Concerning...Heavy snow=20   
      
   Valid 181206Z - 181700Z   
      
   SUMMARY...Rain will transition to snow this morning, with snowfall   
   rates around 0.5 to locally 1 inch per hour possible for a few hours   
   before diminishing.   
      
   DISCUSSION...A secondary surface cold front will continue to advance   
   southeastward across AL, GA, and the FL Panhandle this morning. A   
   plume of precipitation is ongoing ahead of/near the front across   
   southern/southeast AL into much of southern/central GA and parts of   
   the FL Panhandle. This activity is being aided by large-scale ascent   
   associated with an embedded mid-level shortwave trough moving   
   eastward across the Southeast and the entrance region of a   
   pronounced southwesterly mid/upper-level jet. Recent RAP/NAM   
   forecast soundings suggest that additional modest low/mid-level   
   cooling of already saturated profile will support a quick rain to   
   snow transition this morning across parts of southeast AL into   
   southwest/central GA and the FL Panhandle.   
      
   Latest (12Z) surface observations show this transition already   
   occurring across southeast AL, west-central GA, and the western FL   
   Panhandle, where temperatures have fallen into the low to mid 30s.   
   Expect this trend to continue farther east in southwest/central GA   
   through the remainder of the morning. While snowfall rates are not   
   forecast to be overly high, most guidance suggests that 0.5 to   
   locally 1 inch per hour rates may occur within the most intense   
   portion of the precipitation band. These enhanced snowfall rates   
   should not last more than a few hours in any given location, as   
   rapidly drying low/mid-levels on the back side of the shortwave   
   trough will quickly erode precipitation from west to east through   
   about 17Z (11 AM CST/Noon EST).
