Meteorologists are carefully tracking the latest model runs for the possibility of snow on Sunday, according to a message Okaloosa Public Safety Director Patrick Maddox sent Wednesday afternoon.
The forecast has been inconsistent, swinging from flurries to wintry mix to 1 inch of accumulation, Maddox wrote.
He reviewed the latest GFS, Euro and CMC models — the CMC doesn’t bring precipitation south of the Tennessee Valley, but the GFS and Euro show moisture occurring during freezing temperatures.
“You don’t have to be a genius to add those two factors together,” Maddox wrote.
He emphasized officials will continue monitoring to see if the trend holds, but wanted to ensure no one gets caught off-guard if it occurs.
“We’re not talking Snowmageddon a-la 2025 here, but enough to make driving a challenge if ice or snow decides to stick,” Maddox wrote.
