From latest NWS HUN Forecast Discussion: "OPTED TO HOIST A WINTER STORM WARNING FOR MARSHALL AND DEKALB COUNTIES FOR TWO REASONS. THE FIRST IS THE POOLING MOISTURE/DECENT DYNAMICS. THE SECOND IS THE POSSIBLE UPSLOPE COMPONENT ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF EACH COUNTY. THAT SAID...THE HIGHEST SNOWFALL TOTALS SHOULD BE SOUTH OF AN ALBERTVILLE-FT PAYNE LINE...WITH LOCATIONS SUCH AS GRANT /IN MARSHALL COUNTY/ RECEIVING MUCH LESS THAN TWO INCHES. FOR CULLMAN COUNTY...WHICH HAD BEEN LOOKING LIKE THE COUNTY WITH THE BEST POSSIBILITY FOR POSSIBLE UPGRADE TO A WARNING...HAVE OPTED TO LEAVE AS AN ADVISORY."
