Nixa has nothing

Thanks

Am I reading it wrong or is there substantial disagreement between the NAM and GFS for Southern MO on this one? It looks like the NAM is a lot more bullish on this bring an Icing event for SGF and points South

Something wrong here SGF still calling for 4”-6” for the metro less than 24 hours until the event. It just can’t be..:or can it???

Joplin 9 years ago today.

GFS showing a dusting NAM Showing 1.4 for SGF ...be still my beating heart!

Just read a news article where they had a plane slide off the runway in KC

Another in the long line of “nothingburgers”

Being from there, I am really becoming increasingly concerned for my friends and family in Joplin.

SGF now showing pockets of Ice Accumulation forecast to be .25-.50 inches to the North of Springfield and for much of SE KS

...WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY NOW IN EFFECT FROM 9 PM THIS EVENING TO 6 PM CST FRIDAY... * WHAT...Freezing rain expected. Total ice accumulations of up to two tenths of an inch. Isolated amounts up to a quarter of an inch. Winds gusting as high as 35 mph. * WHERE...Much of southeast Kansas and the Missouri Ozarks. * WHEN...From 9 PM this evening to 6 PM CST Friday. * IMPACTS...Untreated roads will likely become slick in spots, especially bridges and overpasses. The hazardous conditions will impact the morning commute and potentially the evening commute across the eastern Ozarks. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Isolated power outages will be possible due to ice accumulation on trees and powerlines as well as windy conditions.

Yeah I see that in Eastern Kansas now. Also up through Central MO

NAM is back to earth this morning

Yeah they aren’t too bullish on the NAM

Indeed. Winter Storm Watch to the North and Advisory to the West

Not as hard as SGF and Mid MO

How accurate has the NAM been in handling these events in the past?

Local Met’s here in Springfield preparing us for Icemageddon here on Friday morning

Yeah it is TOR now

That storm is almost stationary

60-63 dews across far SW Missouri with clearing skies

Now Enhanced risk for portions of OK, AR and TX today

Yep and Yep

And the disappointment begins...

Different Ratio Models, Kansas is Kuhera Temp Profile Ratio. MO is 10/1
