A low pressure system over the southern gulf continues to send several waves of snow and rain/snow mix into the southern panhandle. Bands of hit-or-miss snow showers. Total snow accumulations will be highly dependent on temperatures. Afternoon temperatures could reach the mid to upper 30s, especially near the coast, possibly limiting overall snow accumulation. Further inland, areas could stay colder and receive higher amounts.
