@ehBeth,
From accuweather.com
"Quoting John Kocet, AccuWeather.com:
This will be a textbook case of a storm coming out of the Gulf of Mexico then turning up the East Coast. This is the type of thing we meteorologists salivate over, yet rarely see.
The storm will get started on Sunday as powerful jet stream winds plunge into the Deep South. Clouds will quickly expand through the western Gulf Sunday, and rain will break out by afternoon. The precipitation area will grow rapidly later in the day and at night.
The northern side of the growing storm will be snow. Sunday night, expect accumulating snow to spread from Arkansas into western Tennessee and western Kentucky.
The storm will not get to its worst stages until Monday and Tuesday when it makes the turn up the Eastern Seaboard. Somewhere west of Interstate 81, there will be a big dump of snow from this thing, perhaps more than a foot.
My apologies to all you snow lovers along the I-95 corridor. For you, this storm will bring wind and rain."
