OUGrad05 Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Rain started here in Owasso about an hour ago. I now have a thin coating of ice on the mailbox and the taller parts of my grass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wx 24/7 Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 And just like that NWS is upgrading McDonald, Newton, Barry, Lawrence, and Greene counties to a Winter Storm Warning in MO and upping ice accumulation in the Joplin area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NwWhiteOut Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Hmmm Im really curious to see how this pans out? Maybe this forecast could bust? I got plans for tomorrow but idk, just confused again as usual and my dam short term memory cant keep up with all the non changing forecasts flying out The temp was down to 33.4 before I left earlier, got home and now an ice storm warning or whatever it is and temp is back up to 36 lmao. Crazy crazy crazy. Whats your thinking for here jomo, I hate to bug you man but im curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not JoMo, but it looks as if it would be primarily western Benton county and far NW Washington county that have the highest ice threat. You are probably wavering around the front.

You are probably wavering around the front. Agree with this. You're probably going to be fairly close to the front NwWhiteOut. The best chances for ice will be farther northwest since the freezing line shouldn't push farther south and east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NwWhiteOut Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Thanks guys I really do appreciate the fast responses . Im always so thankful for this forum! That was my feeling earlier when I was looking at what I did understand, looked like right around the border up by rogers somewhere or a lil further nw was where the freezing line was. Again thank you to both of you who answered my crazy questions lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brettjrob Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Estimating 0.1-0.15" accumulation here thus far on trees and other elevated surfaces. For the moment, the primary band is well N and W of the metro. May be a lull here for a few hours before the brunt of the event hits overnight.

I had a thin coating of ice on my mailbox and fence when we got home about 730, now its gone, it rained decently for about an hour and seems to be all liquid at the moment, the temp also came UP about a degree....

The sub-freezing air is very shallow. It's toasty above the ground so it's possible that during heavier bursts of rain, that warmer air will be transported down and it will cause the temp to rise.

Sounds like the ice storm I had in 07 back in missouri when I lived there, it was horrible. Was without power for about that same ammount of time. It was not fun at all!!!!!

Wx 24/7 Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Reflectivity indicates areas from Pittsburg,KS up toward Nevada,MO are getting hammered right now with freezing rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoMo Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Looks like the 00z Euro doesn't raise it above freezing here tomorrow. The backside of the system has heavier precip that is farther south and east into SE KS and OK now for tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoMo Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 It's lightly raining (got a bit heavier earlier) and my north windows are iced over. The yard has that nice 'white' look to it.
