  1. downslopin.... yikes, blow your roof off. Well, anyway, some people in Kansas/Colorado will have some stories of extreme conditions and 5-10 ft snow drifts.
  2. this was earlier today, with over 60mph winds creating severe blizzard conditions in some areas of Kansas
  3. tornado warning W of New Orleans. For right now TMSY short-range radar has it but KLIX doesn't!
  4. wow, the STP value is huge in SE Texas, with a couple of tornado warnings and a couple of severe thunderstorm warnings. Things are starting to get going.
  5. Heavy snowfall rates with blizzard conditions for E Colorado and W Kansas. The HRRR shows a temperature of 21 degrees, snow, and winds of 30kt-50kt in the southeastern section of Colorado.
  6. Blizzard warnings for the Cascades and Olympic Mountains. I didn't think they did that.
  7. tornado threat for a good amount of the Gulf Coast
  8. this is the most snow that any short-term forecast has had for my house since last winter. Of course, there's going to be the warm advection with a chance of wet snow, ice, and rain with a warmup
  9. a good bit of Colorado has a watch/warning/advisory/blizzard warning now. If you use your imagination, the blob of warnings and watches in the plains looks like a supercell with the blizzard warning colors as the RFD.
  10. This is kind of nuts with snow, rain, and freezing rain in random areas of Ohio with the southerly winds.
  11. Example of bright-banding, that is, the radar shows very high reflectivity (unrealistically high) with heavy snow/sleet/wet snow.
  12. Best of luck to Mid-Atlantic people. Notably, already a reasonably dangerous ice accumulation in SW Virginia.
  13. Another depiction of the ECMWF precip type just shows rain for SE Mich at that time frame
  14. What is this purple and pink rectangle at Detroit? A car for the Motor City?
  15. we haven't seen a lot of these colors on the map when the temperature is 50 degrees, coast to coast
  16. Storm in Albuquerque with briefly 1/2 mile visibility snow in ABQ airport, and some light snow amounts in Colorado Springs right now
  17. It's actually sunny. I spent a long time with a lot of sunny days in Colorado, and I guarantee you, it has been dreary since Christmas here.
  18. The subtropical jet(s) have taken over the North America in the last 10 days with El Nino (my new loop.) https://great-lakes-salsite.web.app/Dec_21_31_2023_250mb_loop.html
  19. El Nino please help. Maybe we will see a big improvement in snow pack values (including the Sierra Nevada in the short term.) Upcoming storms will surely help the drought conditions in the Southeast. But that's not this forum.
  20. There is some snow in various areas in the Ohio Valley on the ensembles for the FIRST storm. A lot of the ensemble members have this snow accumulation at about hour 120, that is 00z January 7.
  21. Something to consider for the Ohio Valley. As you very well know, lots of models changes will happen in the next 6 days, so don't be surprised if these "big snow" ensembles don't work out
