Models have bumped the main snow swath north in the DVN area for tonight/tomorrow. Looking more like a 1" type event for this area, and probably a DAB or DAB+ at MLI.
Cedar Rapids area looks to be the jackpot in the DVN area per usual.
We had teflon snow here today, non-stick. It didn't snow hard enough to overcome the wet/warm ground, so nothing measurable here, or at MLI and DVN.
MLI's seasonal snowfall will remain at 6.7".
Final rain total here of 1.12"
0.30" so far here, as the rain has been pretty light and showery.
Looking like a good shot at an inch of wet slop tomorrow afternoon to go along with the 50mph winds.
Two worthless DAB+ events this week will chip into the 3.1" buffer at MLI's futility chase. Kind of a shame but not surprising. Hopefully they both underperform like all other systems have this season. Biggest threat is Thu night/Fri, when 1.5-2" looks possible.
Not in our sub, but pretty impressive conditions down in western TX/southeast NM. Temps near 80, with dews in the -10s producing humidity values of 2% in several locations. Also 60-70mph winds whipping up a nice dust storm.
Almost identical actually( MLI & DVN), both are 22 miles away as the crow flies. Temp wise this area is more similar to MLI as both here and at MLI are in the Rock River valley.
The late afternoon sky had a brownish haze from all the lofted dirt from the high winds out west. Had a nice period of 50-55mph winds around these parts as well.
Surprised to see a few trees species have swollen buds from the past few days of 50s and 60s. Guess the sap must already be flowing upward despite the bitter cold last week.
Likely overdoing everything per usual. Cut the excitement by about 30-50% and there's the final solution if seasonal trends persist.
Early guess for here is a nice soaker followed by a few wet flakes.
Temps overachieving again as the last of the snow melts away. Should make a run at 50 today, and it now looks like 60 is attainable both tomorrow and Tuesday. Probably in the 60s on Friday.
So long POS winter.
High clouds never cleared the area and cut into max cooling potential a bit. Still managed to get down to -12 so far.
Looking like a nice streak of 50s starting Monday next week. May even make a run at 60 Wednesday. Should take care of this 2-3" snowpack very quickly.
Thinking we have a good chance at overachieving temps as we head into March with such a widespread dry landscape. Hopefully 70s are less than a month away.
Temps overachieved here this morning with -7. Good chance we make a run at -15 tonight for the coldest night of the season. Coldest so far was -14 back on Jan 21st.
