The Waterboy Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 RAP would make for a fast, but interesting snowfall experience later today for those in SW MO... Does it also make it into extreme NW AR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wx 24/7 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Maybe a 1/2" for you or a bit more... but the bullseye is basically a Joplin to Branson line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoMo Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Springfield increased it to 1-3" this evening. This weekend's system(s) are still kind of blah. The GGEM has the best look currently with snow from roughly the KS/MO/AR/OK borders to the north. We'll see how it goes in future runs I guess.

Doramo Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Snow flakes are coming down and are very light . I just noticed that a Winter weather advisory was posted . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoMo Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 12z Euro ensembles still aren't very stable in relation to frozen precip location over the next 7 days. Anywhere from the NE/KS and MO/IA border down to southern OK into central Arkansas. Amounts from pretty heavy to nothing at all. The area with the best chances for snow/frozen precip over the next 5 days are the eastern 1/2 of MO into NE Arkansas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Waterboy Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 The afternoon disco discussions from the NWS offices were interesting starting Thursday night and through this weekend. Little Rock sounded fairly ominous about ice potential depending on the track of the surface low. Springfield said a "significant precipitation event will occurs this weekend". Tulsa rode the fence and didn't give much detail or opinion yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ouamber Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Is that freezing rain/sleet or snow for Joplin? Man, that line is racing..looks like a Spring type line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoMo Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Nothing yet, based on upstream reports, it should be heavy snow (blowing sideways). It is dark, real dark to my north and northwest, it's like a spring thunderstorm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoMo Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 That was pretty cool... No thunder here though. Got a little windy, started snowing, blew the snow sideways, got really heavy, and then tapered off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the coolest thing I have seen in a very long time it feels lol. Wow its ashame we cant get a superstorm in the 20's that will drop that kinda snow and last 8 hours or so . Got about a half inch or a lil over from that quick heavy hitter!!!! It was whiteout here for a few minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoMo Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Thurs night into Friday morning looks like we could get a sloppy mess, primarily in MO/AR, better chances the farther east you are. Hopefully the 00z models show a big storm for the weekend! I forgot about the weeklies yesterday but I looked today. I think winter will probably be over by mid-March.
