RocketWX Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Well here in Wichita, I'm certainly curious to see what the Friday/Saturday time frame can do. Last nights ECWMF run certainly caught my attention. I'm not holding my breath as we have been missed from all sides this year. However, when the Euro says something I typically listen. Still 5 days out though, so we'll see if it remains consistent over the next few days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That writeup had me scratching my head some lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you look at the winds that are progged behind the cold front, we could very easily have blizzard conditions over a wide area if this comes to pass. FWIW, the 12z GFS ensembles had a much snowier solution than the operational run. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NwWhiteOut Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Man the skies off to the west look like snow again tonight! The air has that feel and smell to it (I know that sounds stupid but sometimes like rain you can just smell it in the air lol). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouamber Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 hmmmm..wondering how much the weekend storm can dig and how low is the HP above it going to be? 18Z ICON looks similar to the GHD storm of 2011. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travisstorma Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 I raced home to beat that storm the day before it happened... It was fun driving around town looking at all the people in minivans stuck in the snow. My truck sits high off the ground and was still hitting the snow with the bumper in areas. I'd love for that to happen again... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We lived in Tulsa and had to walk a mile to the Walgreens for milk and bread! I lived in an apartment complex and my car was buried for two weeks! Good times! I ate so much snow ice cream! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wx 24/7 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Someone is going to get slammed with the weekend storm. Chiefs fans... it may be harder to sit through the game this weekend at Arrowhead... with snow and temps in the single digits and below zero wind chills. Yikes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weatherdemon Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 For Tulsa county, running H/L averages using GFS, v3, CMC, ICON, GEM, GEFS1-20, Euro1-50, C, M: Low end average of 1.4 - high end average 2.5 with an overall average of 1.9. Not super exciting at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a look at 925 mb winds based off the GFS for Saturday morning at 6 am. The red indicates winds at 50-55 kts about 2000 feet off the surface. If this verifies, then we may very well have blizzard conditions across C & E KS into parts of West Missouri. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MUWX Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 It will be interesting to see how well models handle the cold air. Most globals don't handle artic air well, and tend to be slow with it. Plus it seems like there will be snow on the ground still north of us. Would a quicker arrival of the colder air, push the system further south? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StormChazer Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 For those interested, here is the average(mean) of all 50 ensembles over the last 5 runs of the Euro. As you can see, there is definitely a trend to higher amounts in NE Oklahoma. In order from oldest to newest. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weatherdemon Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Thanks for the trend images. I would love to see 3-5 around here but, based on recent trends, I expect the models to start moving the system too far N or dry slot us. I do like where the NAM is placing the L in SW OK at the end of its run but expect that to change or for the L to weaken as it turns NE. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what to think of that, but the 18Z nam was 11 degrees colder than the 18z GFS, at 84 hours. I don't put much stock into the Nam, especially at 84 hours but that may be something to watch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
