The environment with this potential is really not that far off the environment from that day. Guidance the past day or so have really slowed things, with most of the potential being across MO/S IA now. .
Speaking of...
Spann doing a terrible job today. Kept mentioning numerous times that storm would miss Tuscaloosa by a long shot, when in reality it had been running parallel to I-20 for quite a while.

Indeed. 2” soil temp still in the upper 30’s here, and probably a bit higher down there...So I’d imagine any accretion is on elevated/colder surfaces. .
I’ve been pretty much think 1-3” for the CWA along and north of I-80. However, I fully agree that there is much more upside potential. If thermals work out as the GFS/RAP and others show, definitely could see an axis of 3-6”+ into the CWA. .
