Tulsa NWS has either bumped up totals or made a mistake for tomorrow. Lol. Not sure which.

??? I don't see what you're talking about?  Snow totals for tomorrow are identical to what they were this morning.  2.1 inches in tulsa and 3 in bartlesville....

Looking at the last 3 runs of the GFS/NAM, there has been a slight SE shift each run. 

I'm anxious to see what the latest round of model data shows as it starts to become public the next 90 mins or so.  I've noticed that slow drift to the SE as well and some of the Canadian models painting a decidedly heavier snow for the Tulsa area.  

 

Interesting that NWS Tulsa hasn't really changed their snowfall totals despite a drift upward in the NAM and GFS.  They must be weighing some factors I'm not aware of because at this point it looks like 3-4 for the immediate Tulsa area and 5-6 up north in Bartlesville, Dewey, Chanute....

I still wouldn't be surprised to see a little further shift SE. I mentioned last night in a post about how far south the storm is digging around Baja before ejecting out. Storms that start is the 4 corners region usually have a good storm track for us. I know there's a lot of meteorology missing in my "logic" though but I think this setup is better than those where the storm comes out of Colorado.

Hmmm...looks like moisture up a bit for the Tulsa metro and overall snow line drifts a bit south.  Not sure what to make of it...will be interesting to see the GFS and Canadian models over the next hour.  We're moving our meetings to Tulsa tomorrow in hopes of actually getting them done :)

Springfield and Wichita AFD's are out early today.

 

 

Springfield:

 

 

 

Accumulations will be greatest over the Osage Plains, or
essentially along and north of a line from Girard Kansas to
Versailles Missouri. 5 to 8 inches of snow is now expected within
this region. The increase in snow amounts was due to the dry slot
remaining south of this area, therefore, a longer duration of snow
is expected.

Also, there are some indications of upright and slantwise
instability. Convective snow bands can not be ruled out.

For locations along the Interstate 44 corridor, 3-4 inches are
forecasted, which includes Joplin to Springfield, and to Rolla.

Areas from Branson toward south central Missouri, are looking at
around 1 to 2 inches. This region will become dry slotted, and may
experience some freezing drizzle Tuesday afternoon, cutting down
on snow amounts. We took out the risk for sleet, since the models
are now colder, with no risk of melting in any of the solutions.

 

Wichita:

 

 

 

WATER VAPOR IMAGERY DEPICTS A STORM SYSTEM OVER THE DESERT SOUTHWEST
THIS AFTERNOON. THIS SYSTEM WILL EJECT EAST-NORTHEASTWARD ACROSS THE
CENTRAL/SOUTHERN PLAINS LATE TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT WITH SOME
NEGATIVE TILT...AS AN UPSTREAM UPPER TROUGH SINKS INTO THE PACIFIC
NORTHWEST. LIFT WILL COMMENCE BY LATE THIS EVENING ALTHOUGH IT WILL
BE FIGHTING INITIAL...AMBIENT DRY AIR. THE LIFT WILL INTENSIFY
LATE TONIGHT INTO TUESDAY AS THE STORM SYSTEM MOVES INTO THE REGION.
THIS STILL LOOKS LIKE A LONG DURATION SNOW EVENT WITH DEEP
LIFT/MOISTURE UP THROUGH THE DENDRITIC GROWTH ZONE. THUS...MODERATE
TO HEAVY SNOWFALL IS EXPECTED LATE TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY. THE
HEAVIEST TOTALS OF 6-10 INCHES ARE SLATED ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL KS
INTO THE FLINT HILLS...ON THE NORTHWEST FRINGES OF A TROWAL AXIS.
WILL ADD 1-2 ROWS OF COUNTIES IN THE SOUTHEAST TO OUR WINTER STORM
WARNING. THE FAR SOUTHEAST KS COUNTIES MAY PICK UP 4-5 INCHES AND
PLAN TO LEAVE THEM IN A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR NOW.
