Has anyone noticed the current radar? It’s already showing light showers in SW MO around Springfield and quite a bit in Eastern KS. The HRRR doesn’t show any precip for the next 8-10 hours. Thoughts?
Tulsa’s write-up overnight seems to favor the RAP which looks pretty good for most of us. 09z was a good run but surface temps still going to be iffy.
They also mention the two things we hate to hear: warm nose and dry slot.
StormChazer,
Do you have 18z Euro details? I saw hour 90 in another forum but it was already in Central Ark at that hour. Curious to see what 84 and before looks like.
Looks to me like the 2m temps at h84 are 3-4 degrees colder on the NAM/GFS vs the Canadian. Doesn’t matter by h90 as everyone is below freezing at that point.
Not sure if that is a concern yet but NWA has 6-12 hours of precip above freezing (on the Canadian) before the changeover.
I was thinking about that earlier too. We don’t see too many dig south from Montana/North Dakota.
Do you recall anything similar that actually panned out for us? I actually kind of like these clippers. They are typically faster moving with limited moisture but we can squeak out a couple of inches. This one seems to have more potential than usual.
Definitely frustrating to see a majority of the models have snow in Colorado/ Western KS for it to disappear as it approaches us and pop again into TN.
The NAM is currently the only one giving us much of a chance. Maybe we score a dusting to an inch with the cold temps/higher ratios.
Huge flakes in Bentonville for the last 2 hours. Absolutely nuts. Grass is completely covered. Measured 1 inch on an elevated plastic surface and that’s with a fair amount of melting. What a day.
