One thing that may be working in our favor is that there was a recon mission off the west coast yesterday afternoon for research purposes and that data has been incorporated into the GFS at least. I know that data was included in last nights GFS.
Models typically under do the cold air. Trend could continue but I am not sure we get much snow out of it regardless. Cold air is going to be fairly shallow for a while.
Storm to the southwest is starting to take off (or has been cranking and I’ve been too focused on the other one). Headed in the general direction of Clarksville and inflow looks to be unimpeded
this is from one of the smaller debris balls tonight, up in St. Louis, I believe this is the same storm as edwardsville but at least one cycle before. Tomorrow is going to be insane for damage pics.
