  1. Is the wave deeper on the Euro, or something else forcing it south?
  2. Agreed completely. Wave amplitude is my biggest concern right now. Thankfully, this should start getting better sampled later today and tonight.
  3. From reading AFD's this afternoon (believe Tulsa), NBM does not, since it's just loaded in from WPC.
  4. With SLR's likely to be in the 25-30:1 range, it will be much easier to get white out conditions than we normally would. If the GFS is correct, such conditions are a lock for W KS, OK and parts of N TX.
  5. We’ve had light snow all week down here. So, we’re saturated and there has been just enough lift to make it happen. That changes this weekend.
  6. One thing to keep in mind, the snow will be falling into brutally cold temps (near zero and below). Here's a look at Monday morning wind chills, with a north wind at 10-15 mph. Wind chills like these will have a huge impact on people outdoors and cattle.
  7. Indeed. Good group of fellow weather nerds here. Here’s hoping the next week is good for everyone.
  8. The Canadian model appears to be a huge wet blanket for everyone the next few days. But, it does have 6-10 inches in the Texas Hill Country (skeptical).
  9. Looks like a 1-3" event here Friday into Saturday, but a more substantial event for the late weekend period. This does appear to be a more aggressive run of the Euro, so we'll see what the ensembles say.
  10. The 12z GFS Ensembles backed off on the amount of precip with the weekend system, but still has >6" for most of our area in the next 240 hours. Let's see what the Euro does.
  11. If anything, the NAM looks a little more bundled and deeper with the energy than the GFS does...at least that what my eyes tell me. I think the runs today and tomorrow will be interesting to see which side wins out here.
  12. Not good, Bob. I wonder why the major change? I wonder if there was a major wave buckle in the Pacific that led to the pattern change?
  13. It’s quite possible that I’m salivating after looking at that.
  14. The forecast high for Wichita today is 18. We've had light snow all morning long (snowing at a decent clip right now)...there's no shot we get to 18 if this continues. Temps falling into the single digits 30-40 miles north of here. And as for the 12z GFS, if that's crazy....sign me up! If we're going to go big with the cold, let's go big with the snow.
  15. I’m not near my computer to look, but are the GFS and Canadian still showing snowy and cold solutions?
  16. Still snowing hard here. 6" and we're snowing at 1-2"/hr again. Winds are picking up, too, so we're seeing whiteouts.
  17. The Euro/Canadian sniffed out the overall trend first. Feel for SC KS, the Euro did the best. Short term models were a little too far southeast with the heaviest band.
  18. Started snowing here in Wichita about 4 am...have picked up 4" (2" between 7 & 8 am) and it's still snowing. Biggest storm since 2014.
  19. I am right there with you on all those points. One other question I’ll throw in is how far west does the main deformation precip shield get. I have a hard time buying the razor thin cut off that some are showing, but that may just be wishful thinking. The latest model runs give me even more pause that the streak won’t end tomorrow, but it’s time to nowcast this out and see how it evolves. Good luck and happy new year to all! We survived 2020.
  20. I hope you’re right....but I’m naturally pessimistic. 7 years of little snow does that to you. Haha.
