So out of all the models that have run so far, I'm probably averaging around 4" of 10:1. Tack on an extra inch or two for colder temps, so maybe the upper end of SGF's forecast amounts. If they can identify where any bands set up, then maybe those areas will get put under a Winter Storm Warning as they may exceed 6".
I don't know what SGF was talking about in their AFD. The system that forms the trough in the west that is the basis for the snow doesn't move onshore in northern cali until tomorrow morning. The lead wave that dampens out is the one they were talking about I guess.
Yeah, that's the thing with Kuchera, it's highly dependent on the model getting the QPF exactly right and the exact temps at the time the precip is falling.
Pivotal's Kuchera uses the formula. I'm not sure what Weatherbell's uses.
In the winter weather tab of the parameter menu on the side, there's a "Kuchera" which shows what the ratio is for that given time on the model.
So on the 12z GFS for hour 63 for example, the Kuchera ratio is 15:1 in your area. The 12z NAM is also at 15:1
Euro had a little less precip this go 'round in general. Congrats OKC this run. NW AR kind of gets screwed a bit, but overall, accumulating snow for all.
12z Canadian drastically increased amounts from last night... Late to the show, Canada... late to the show....
I'm going to set my disappointment threshold to 4" of snow. If I get less than that, I'll be sad, more than that, I'll be ecstatic.
