Some nice things on the table going forward thru this month of transition, that's for sure.
A few tidbits from Lezaks blog this morning on this upcoming storm and this years LRC.
There is a strong cold front, and it is well defined. Last year the fronts over the plains were rarely well defined, and certainly nothing like this.
The temperature contrast is from the 20s to the 90s. It will be fun to show this on NBC tonight on KSHB, 41 Action News.
The upper level storm system is unlike anything we have seen in years. Oh, there have been upper lows that have ripped out of the Rocky Mountains, but nothing like this one, and the waves rotating around the storm are so different than anything we experienced a year ago.
There is one wave rotating around the base of the storm as you can see below. This wave will help produce the energy for a few severe thunderstorms, and there is a risk from the SPC
And, another wave is forecast to rotate around the main storm that will produce a potential band of rain and thunderstorms in the colder air north and west of the front. This must be watched to see if this exists in other storm systems this winter. It likely will, but lets see it happen first.
