NJ_Ken Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I realize that Central OK was always on the fringe as far as potential for snow/sleet goes for this one, but, at this point, I am struggling to see where the freezing rain/drizzle comes from in these parts. I hope I am wrong but I am feeling a miss down this way and perhaps as far as Tulsa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoMo Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 28/17... It's doing a bit of everything out there and it's coming down pretty good. Mostly freezing rain and sleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoMo Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Thundersleet! Only 1 thunder at same time it was freezing rain and sleet and snowing a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhope84 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Really impressive banding over you, JoMo! Congrats on the thundersleet. If we can get more widespread convective banding when the atmosphere supports snow, we could have some really impressive localized totals. Really liking how the radar is blossoming.

JoMo Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I'm worried about it staying sleet though. I also think the most precip (if it's snow) will fall between just south of here and the Arkansas border. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope I am wrong but I am feeling a miss down this way and perhaps as far as Tulsa. Although it was not an intentional reverse jinx, it started raining here within minutes of making the above post. We are still above freezing (34 F), but with a dewpoint of 15 F (and falling), we should be below freezing in no time... I hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natecast Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Got light freezing rain here in NW OKC. Took the trash out and noticed a glaze forming on elevated surfaces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OKwx2K4 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 During the brief rain showers it cools enough to freeze until they're over then it warms back up to 35. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoMo Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Springfield updated: AREA FORECAST DISCUSSIONNATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO654 PM CST Sun Feb 15 2015...Update to the Developing Winter Storm Tonight....UPDATE...Issued at 645 PM CST SUN FEB 15 2015An upper level low is currently digging into the southwestern U.S.early this evening. Ahead of this system precipitation isdeveloping across the area, and is convective in nature. The 00ZKSGF RAOB has a warm nose with a very dry air mass in the lowlevels and also above the warm nose. This dry air and theconvective nature of this precipitation will result in pockets ofsleet through the mid evening hours before the sleet transitions tomore snow. As the dry air is overcome in the low levels some lightfreezing rain/drizzle will occur but will be brief in nature. Thecold nose in the low levels are very cold with temperatures of 9below Celsius on the 00Z KSGF RAOB. So once wet bulbing slowsdown the freezing rain will stop. Still a light glaze of ice willbe possible before it ends.Again the pockets of sleet will continue to develop and occurthrough much of the evening, but snow should mix with the sleet asthe evening wears on. The warm nose is expected to push south by6Z tonight, but with the upper level system digging more will haveto watch if it still pushes as far south as if not more sleetcould occur across southern MO where is was previously thought tooccur across northern Arkansas. If this would occur it would cutdown on the snow amounts here but there are still questions onexactly where this will occur and not ready to adjust this muchbut will watch trends this evening.Overnight into Monday morning a large band of snow is stillexpected to develop, and could track a tad farther south but willstill track over at least portions of the area, The heaviest snowis still expected generally around and south of the I-44 corridorwhere 4-9" of snow expected but is dependent on exactly where theband sets up, as snowfall amounts may taper off fairly quickly northof the band.Continue to monitor this system as amounts may continue to need tobe adjust as this system shows it cards.

NwWhiteOut Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Were you guys in missouri supposed to get that much sleet or any sleet at all?

Was forecasted to start out as sleet here with an graduel change to all snow before midnight . Was hoping they were wrong about the sleet change-over .. if it does not start snowing before midnight I doubt the total snow is high as they are projecting . Of course though if we get the 2" an hour stuff the totals will escalate in a hurry . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
