MoWeatherguy Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Tonight's GFS looks similar to 12z Euro for snow around here. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep same ole same ole, just saying less than a half inch possible lol. Whatever anymore at this point, just too far south and in a snow drought place. Whats the GFS saying for us?

The Waterboy Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 This kinda sucks from NWS Norman office. Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Norman OK 933 PM CST Fri Jan 10 2020 .UPDATE... Main impact of evening update was to decrease snow/sleet amounts most areas for overnight and Saturday morning. Still could see an axis of enhanced sleet/snow accumulations from western north Texas and adjacent Oklahoma counties of south-central Oklahoma, north and northeast into central Oklahoma overnight and Saturday morning as upper trough lifts out. Western parts of Oklahoma may see brief flurries but nothing impactful. We have adjusted the winter weather advisory to remove northwest Oklahoma and add a few counties across western north Texas and southern Oklahoma. Overall, most locations that see snow will see less than an inch, but given very cold trough, prolonged saturated dendritic zone from around Wichita Falls up through the I-44 corridor overnight and tomorrow morning, there could still be periodic bands of moderate snow that could create impacts. Initially, there could also be patchy freezing rain/sleet that could help bridges and overpasses to become slick. A minimal type advisory event, but not worth canceling entire advisory. Big takeaway is the very cold wind chill values much of tomorrow, which I think we might get right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NwWhiteOut Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Yep got cold here too(down to 30), Tulsa still sounds confused by their forecast disco. Whenever thick low clouds move over and the wind picks up I can see misty snow falling lol. Still in an advisory until 3 for up to an inch, eh idk at this point. If it happens it happens I guess, the typical 1 inch stuff at best. I just hope one of these giant storms sets up right and gives the smack down yet on us all.

Wx 24/7 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Getting ready to enjoy a few hours of wintry weather here and then start focusing on next weekend... which will likely get my hopes up only to see them crushed again.

I think part of my issue this season is because of the hype at the beginning of the winter. Just goes to show how long range forecasting still isn't very accurate at all.

This, every single long range forecast i watched or read everyone was saying an epic winter. I think I been so disappointed the last 6-7 years now I have gotten use to it lol. It is sleeting pretty heavy here now though, down to 28. Sleet and snow mix now, just changed over!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Waterboy Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Very difficult to not be frustrated by this one. The heavier bands set up for some of us like the models generally showed. Instead of 1-2”/hr snowfall rates it has piss poured sleet here for an hour while it’s 27 degrees. This just isn’t our decade... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed that, Im not shocked at all are you lol? I just went for a small hike, enjoyed the sleet and flurries while it lasted haha. The roads were solid ice on the way down then the sleet and snow stopped, looked like the sun was trying to peek out for a minute there and bam everything is just wet roads now. Gonna be terrible come dark though, refreeze and black ice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doramo Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Freezing Rain/Sleet mix @ 31.6° 1" total predicted of mixed stuff. That is more than am expecting . Radar to the west/southwest of me is showing a moderate snow . Whether it gets here or not I don't know 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUWX Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Snowing golf balls in republic. Some of the biggest flakes I have ever seen. still probably half sleet though. It would be snowing at a crazy rate if it was all snow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoMo Posted January 11, 2020 Author Share Posted January 11, 2020 Not sure when the next one is, but differences between the Euro and GFS. Eventually we should probably get a western ridge and eastern trough again. Probably going to be a nice -EPO. The CFS has nothing but a -EPO look through the month of Feb.

MoWeatherguy Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Maybe the end of Jan and into Feb will be our winter, delayed but not denied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wx 24/7 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 NAM is definitely not nearly as warm as it had been in the last couple of runs. The 60s of midweek are definitely gone. EURO looks dry after this weekend's wet storm. GFS is stormy though. Hope you enjoyed this system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doramo Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Was checking the long-range temp forecasts (Pivotal) and it is looking good about the 19 or so for cold temps to return . Now if the moisture coincides with the cold = good snow chances . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormChazer Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 This Thurs-Sat system has the makings of something great IF we can get the cold air to stick around. I say great, but if we get anything it would be an ice storm. But you know what? Give it to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MUWX Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Euro painting an ugly picture across SWMO Thursday night. I know models normally under do arctic air, and if that’s the case, it’s even uglier. Interesting 48-72 hours upcoming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
