Snow Tonight? Maybe For Some, No For Others

February 14, 2010

(Updated 4:00 p.m.) Two days after the first snowfall in 14 years,  there is a chance of more snow tonight.

The weather service says an inch is possible in and around Atmore and Flomaton and very little accumulation is expected in North Escambia. A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for Escambia County, Alabama.

“There will be adequate moisture for rain to develop this evening just ahead of the cold front…and then transition to a mix of rain and snow after midnight as the cold airmass pushes through the area. Temperatures could be cold enough late tonight and early Monday morning for the most of the precipitation north of I-10 to fall completely as snow,” according to the weather advisory.

Any snow that accumulates would be expected to end by daybreak and melt quickly in the sun.

Here is your official North Escambia area forecast:

  • Tonight Mostly cloudy. Slight chance of rain in the evening… then rain likely after midnight. Snow likely late in the night. Little or no snow accumulation. Lows in the mid 30s. South winds 5 to 10 mph becoming southwest 10 to 15 mph after midnight. Chance of precipitation 70 percent.
  • Presidents Day Mostly cloudy in the morning then clearing. Chance of rain and snow in the morning. Highs in the upper 40s. Northwest winds 10 to 15 mph. Chance of precipitation 50 percent.
  • Monday Night Colder. Mostly clear. Lows in the mid 20s. Northwest winds 5 to 10 mph.
  • Tuesday Mostly sunny. Highs around 50. Northwest winds 10 to 15 mph becoming 5 to 15 mph in the afternoon.
  • Tuesday Night Partly cloudy. Lows in the mid 20s. West winds around 5 mph.
  • Wednesday Sunny. Highs in the mid 50s.

    in response to a couple of comments about me worrying about my son driving to school in the possible weather conditions…. I would drive my child to school but like most parents I have a job and cannot drive my children to school and I also worry about the busses they are not immune to accidents. I lost a 22 yr old close cousin ten years ago to a car accident that was weather related so yes I worry more than most but please don’t make light of a mother caring and worrying about her children.

    If school isn’t cancelled and you are concerned… put them on the bus or drive them

    If you’ll are worried about the kids driving, then drive em yourself & showem some techniques. How will they ever learn unless you teach them? & NO, i will not teach your kids how to drive on ice. Good luck!!!!

    The chances of enough snow to cancel school look very small. If there are any changes, we’ll let you know as soon as the school districts announce.

    Will there still be school tomorrow?

    Im very concerned about this, You would not believe the amount of ice that we saw in the last snowfall, this snowfall is going to be the same. I worry about my children driving to school, they are inexperienced drivers in snowy weather. They shouldnt be required to go to school, we are risking their lives in doing this, and im sure other parents are concerned about their childrens wellbeing as i am, i certainly do not want to see the loss of a life over this

    I agree with Kim I too have a child that drives to Northview and I have concerns about the roads with the teens..

  10. Kim on February 14th, 2010 10:42 am

    I guess Northview High will be open tomorrow unless things change? My son drives to school and the road conditions over the two bridges on hwy 4 concern me. I love seeing the snow but I worry more about road conditions when we are not used to them especially for the teen drivers!
