I-10 corridor in Louisiana is poised for an event they haven't seen in at least 60 years (1963) if not since 1895.

Pretty remarkable event taking shape early this week as currently modeled for TX/LA. Very potent overrunning setup with a 1050 mb high dropping into the center of the country could yield borderline historic snowfall totals (at least in the modern record, nothing is coming close to that absurd 1895 storm) for the Gulf Coast/I-10 corridor. Remains to be seen which area gets hit hardest, but the 00z HRRR was giving southern LA upwards of 8 inches.

The death knell.

Can't think a 500 mb setup like this is anything less than "pretty darn good".

Ok, but seriously, what in the actual hell?

That thing deepens 15 mb in 6 hours, absolute nuclear grade blizzard lol.

Just chiming in to say, what in the f*ck...

Ice from freezing drizzle is causing a ton of problems in KS and W MO right now near I-70.

Blizzard warnings hoisted for the ICT/TOP CWAs in KS.

That storm in the latter part of next week has major potential if it can phase with the northern stream a bit as it ejects.

Huge potential with that system for the S Plains in the latter part of next week if it doesn't get trapped in the SW and at least partially phases with the northern stream.

Euro is a major ice storm from KS into the Ohio Valley. Moderate-strong winds, moderate precip rates, a deep warm layer aloft, and temperatures significantly colder than freezing at the surface are trouble. It looks to me like moisture for the cold conveyor belt gets robbed by convection in the Southeast, which would lead me to believe that the GFS is probably overdone on QPF further east.

Both an upper tier snowstorm and ice storm is being suggested, blizzard conditions further west into KS and MO. Pulled some soundings earlier with the warm nose aloft and it was like 25-28 degrees at the surface, would lead to efficient accretion.

Some of these runs are pretty much historic for the I-70 corridor, for lack of a better term.

Report of extensive damage south of Port Arthur with that crazy long tracked tornado.
