I am in North Texas - Celina area.  Looking forward to see how much ZR we get.

Hot pink is my favorite color the rest of this week!   Those maps are almost unbelievable.

Wichita has expanded their watch north a couple of counties. I assume SGF will do the same shortly.

Edit: SGF added one for the whole forecast area. Most offices getting more aggressive in amounts, curious if they will continue to increase them or not, but several watches now in the 5-10" range. 

[StormChazer]

NWS Tulsa certainly getting on board with the high totals.

It’s the UKMET, so proceed with caution:

This is reminding me of GHD 2011. I'm not sure why the trends are pulling this so far north. Personally, I do not want to be in the bullseye two days out, but isn't this the time when the models lose the cold air and try to say it's going to be warmer than it ends up being?

 

[JoMo]

I think the models will probably start to decrease precip amounts and come more in line with what reality will be. 

[The Ole Bucket]

Yeah feels a lot more likely that the models will factor in the strong arctic high/blocking and how dry it is and create sharper northern cutoffs than there be a temp thing going on. The cold is legit.

[stormdragonwx]

Wont lie I'm still worried about that jog north and the warm air aloft being too strong being two days out still. Really don't want an Ice storm after getting the possibility of a foot of snow. snow>ice anytime

Edit: Just saw TSA just went full tilt with widespread 8-12" now.

Springfield with the somewhat useless AFD this afternoon. 18z ICON has a 20" Kuchera amount IMBY. 18z NAM was faster with kicking the system out compared to the other models and had more WAA precip farther south with the initial precip. 18z RDPS looked similar to it's 12z run.
