It would have to be insanely wrong to get down to the amounts that SGF is forecasting though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lokee Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 This is the confusing thing. The storm last weekend the Nam pretty much, give or take, nailed it compared to the other models. However, in past systems the nam has underperformed. So which is the underlier. Tuttle said he was throwing out the Canadian due to the excessive amounts of ice totals it was throwing out there.

The question is will we find ourselves somewhere between those two and the GFS/euro. I think the right call is to side with the latter, but I wouldn't totally discount a slightly more significant event yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinook Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 The NAM always seems to overforecast freezing rain. The 00z NAM has 0.75" to 1.18" of freezing rain accumulation near and north of Springfield MO, as well as some other various values of freezing rain from New Mexico to the Mid-Atlantic. Note: NWS gridded forecast has 0.03"- 0.08" freezing rain north of Springfield. I hope you guys don't have nasty tree damage or anything like that. Maybe the models like to keep the inversion layer there for a longer time period than is really possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NwWhiteOut Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Another storm wasted for here probly, the usual. I will say temps are a wee bit colder than forecasted though. Heck at this point I wouldn't even mind seeing ice lol, even though I don't really like ice storms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoMo Posted January 16, 2020 Author Share Posted January 16, 2020 Yeah, forecast changed here, winter weather advisory now for accumulating ice. 18z NAM puts out 0.39" of freezing rain here with about 1" in SE KS and W-Central MO.

RocketWX Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 ICT mentioned concern with freezing temps possibly lasting into morning commute now. Also, with a few more hours of freezing rain leading to higher amounts, they mentioned possible localized upgrades as they monitor trends. They mentioned the higher qpf amounts could lead to increased runoff which would limit the amount of ice that would accumulate on surfaces. Thus some of those models showing very high ice accumulation being over done. Basically the things to watch are surface temps and qpf. If temps hold in the upper 20's and precip isn't as heavy as predicted it could lead to more significant icing. Will be interesting to monitor trends tonight for sure.

NwWhiteOut Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Forecast was 43 today, got to 41right now its 39 (according to my backyard weather station). Tulsa says the temps will be warmer for here though tonight(38) and tomorrow than previously thought so no concerns. I dont think theres anything to worry about here but you guys up north in missouri may have to watch trends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinook Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Freezing rain and possibly some sleet are starting to get going in OK, TX, with a small amount of snow in KS at this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 If you look closely, the precipitation type in the red region (freezing rain) includes snow, drizzle (temp of 28 degrees at Wichita), freezing rain, unknown (question mark symbol... usually sleet), and rain. I'm glad I'm not there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NwWhiteOut Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Temps rose early, got back to 40 during the early evening. Rain started and we are wet bulbing here, down to 34. Low predicted was 38, hmmmm. Another extreme close call lol Down to 33 now, I bet thats where we hold...seems to be what we hold at during every stinkin storm haha. Darn 32 now, wow way lower on the temps than expected! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wx 24/7 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Once again, it was Charlie Brown weather forecast here in SW MO. Lucy (the models) put the football out in front of us and then removed it at the last second. Surface temps never cooled quite enough for most of us. Some minor icing in spots, but not like the models projected. Back to a cold rain later this morning and then on to the next disappointment. Ha! Ha! Some areas did/are getting hammered with ice. I don't envy them. Keep the ice away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
