KC Storm

If only it was winter. Perfect track for KC on the upcoming storm. 

Fall is off to a mild start in these parts. Oct looks fairly warm for KC.

Crazy flooding. Grew up in North Jersey for 27 years till 2019 and that has to be some of the worst flooding I’ve seen. They’ve had bad floods before ie Floyd but this was just a crazy amount of water in such a short time.

What up with hurricane board. The mods over there are so touchy

Storm mode 

More lightning in this thread than the eyewall of Ida right about now.

Are we thinking this Nina ends up with an early peak in December? Similar to last year. With a slow warming trend later in the winter. 

Has a storm ever made landfall in RI? Small target to hit and rate climo.

Vigorous outer rainband pushing towards SE FL coast. Right now it's hitting Bimini. Remains to be seen if it will get all the way here, but I think chances are it will since this band has been steadily intensifying, and it has some very deep convection. 

There have been several times in my life where an approaching cyclone sends out a really aggressive furthermost outer band, and it can catch people by surprise with winds of 40-60 mph, downed trees, power outages, etc... I think this could end up being one of those cases.

Aside from that, another smaller band taking shape over Florida Keys and extending into coastal Miami-Dade. So impacts are just beginning now for SE FL. 

Perfect timing, will clear out all this smoke from the fireworks as soon as we get a band. 

I recall Gustav having a feature like this in New Orleans at the start of the storm.

It was a good winter here in jonesboro ar. What a record cold and snowy February . Probably something we wont see again for many years. About 12in from two events! It was snowing in low teens. I know it's still early, but what is everyone's opinion on this coming winter? 

Very early though lately there has been. Talk of another Nina so there is that. Long term forecasting is just so a crap shoot this far out. Be interesting to see if the dry north / wet south pattern that’s in place can withstand in the long term. 

Very wet here in KC. Lot of flash ponding on roads ect. 

Just crazy stuff. Even in these seemingly more extreme weather time.

Wow is it hot out your way. Stay cool all! 

Quiet storm season for the most part so far here in KC. Mostly just stratiform rains this spring with a storm or two mixed in. 

Picked up about an inch of snow on cars grass ect. Crazy for 4/20.

Snow tonight and tomorrow? Last gasp of winter.

Looks like it 

Might get a hit of snow in KC area Tuesday. Crazy

It  loads really slow too. The product just isn't very useful in its current state.

GFS tries too rap some snow through the KC region on Thursday but at this point seems as if its alone. Ton of much needed rain here the last couple days 

Wonderful stretch of weather here in KC. 63F currently 

It does seem like this year maybe pretty active. We shall see.

Light snow beginning to come down . The snow showing on the radar isn't much . Will get a dusting at most .   As always it is fun to watch .

Its fun for sure. Nice burst here in KC. Might pick up a quick coating to an inch.Nice new dusting on everything here. Surprise snow is always the best snow. 

Congrats to all. Around 2 inches this morning and two the other say. Not bad considering how far I was. Hope all get there power back soon. I’m excited to follow severe season in here as well. 

Light snow up here in KC. Nice and fluffy. Everything coating up nice. Looking like an inch of two coming up this way. 5F 

Good luck down there. Hoping to snag an inch or two as it drifts north.

Same here. It is interesting that some of the CAMs (NAMNest, WRF-NSSL namely) bring the snow shield just past the Kansas Turnpike. Also, Dodge City and several sites in SW KS have been seeing snow for a while now and I wonder if that's not some signs of a baroclinic zone developing. 

FWIW, none of the models had this developing. 

It will be interesting for sure. No two events are the same, but similar happened up here when the comma head rotated through yesterday. Might not be a huge deal but may make the difference between an inch vs 3 or 4 in a few spots. I think Witch up to Topeka get in on at least a bit of that.
