Yea I noticed springfield saying something about monday night in their disco. Im not into that show at all but I do want to see that episode for sure.

yeah I haven't watched it in a few years, got burnt out on it since it was pretty much the same thing episode after episode. I do want to watch the Joplin episode though.

The expected "coldest night of the year" surprisingly underperformed, and I am not sure how that happened. The forecasted low was 12 and typically in my valley location, a clear, still night, reduces the temperature another 3-5 degrees. After sunset, the temp was 22 and rose to 25 by midnight and then only dipped to 19, despite a dew point of 8. There were some high clouds at dawn, but no wind to speak of overnight. Any ideas what happened?

It's just Mother Nature kicking us while we're down. Another shot in the crotch.

How is that for a poor attitude?

EMHE TONIGHT!

Well the 12z GFS wasn't completely terrible, but the flow remains really progressive and we still have the issue of the systems wanting to deepen in the northwest which will flood the US with Pacific air. It would be cold enough for one of these systems to produce snow should it somehow find a way to wrap up, but with the flow this progressive and the wavelengths so short, it may have trouble doing that.

EDIT: 12z Euro was a nightmare though.

I finally watched the episode this morning. It turned out really good. I didn't want to miss it after witnessing the devastation a few days after it hit. It was a unreal sight. Something I will never forget. I was heading to my lake house in Camdenton,MO 3 days after it hit. We stopped there to donate some goods at this one church and take a few pictures of the damage around the destroyed gas station area that was featured in the youtube video.

12z GFS and Euro have a system, which leads one to believe there will be one.

The GFS takes the system mostly south of us, but temps are only marginal for anything frozen and mostly in KS/MO

The 12z Euro takes it out to our west this run. There may be some severe weather associated if it were to come out like this.

Looks like it's somewhat cutoff since it only makes it from W KS to SE KS in 24 hours

00z GFS changed a lot from the 12z run, with phasing taking place and a major trough setting up across the area, somewhat similar to the Euro, except more of an open wave at H5. As JoMo said, svr potential does seem apparent if anything close to these runs comes into fruition...

SPC is monitoring the region this morning for a potential upgrade to slight risk. I think we may need to monitor this afternoon into the evening for severe weather potential. It kind of has that "feel" outside today. I know, I know... very scientific, but historically, winter severe weather events aren't handled as well by the SPC.

Probably a fluke but the 18z GFS showed a better pattern in the longer range I believe. Still worried about that storm in about a week as it cranks up. Hope it goes to the south of us and gives us a big snowstorm, lol

Probly is a fluke....I dont buy it sorry lol! Hell we were thinking this pattern change would happen by now but, well just go outside and you know what I mean haha......this has been the oddest winter ever, yep Im down in the dumps cant you tell?
