Surface temps are going to be close. Tulsa is at it's peak of snow and at 33?? YIKES! We need these temps to come down or it's going to limit totals A LOT!

12Z HRRR

The rate it will be coming down, even if we lose an inch to melting, it's going to pile up quick and then it'll drop down to where it doesn't melt.

Jomo, why is the pattern not supporting a cold outcome? What is the main problem? 

Just saw this. Lack of a -AO (high latitude blocking) and a non-persistent negative EPO means the Pacific air masses have ruled .

Hmmmm winter storm watch issued for here now too, so lets see if this goes from a watch to an advisory. I am still worried about the temps, though It is colder than progged today I think? Getting confusing now with so many changes regarding this storm. Sitting at 40 here but its slowly been falling!! I feel this has the potential to pile more sleet and zr than anything else.

So those of you who are in a warning, how long has it been since you have seen one lol? I know some of us have not seen a WSW for a very very long time now.

I moved to Tulsa back in 2016, since living here, we've never been under a WSW let alone gotten more than 2 inches. So, being 18 hours out from this, I feel confident enough to say I'm glad I'm finally going to see over 3 inches! And living in sw tulsa, more like over 5.

Am I reading it wrong or is there substantial disagreement between the NAM and GFS for Southern MO on this one? It looks like the NAM is a lot more bullish on this bring an Icing event for SGF and points South

GFS is very warm. Seems like most are discounting it at this point. NAM is heavy ice, Euro/Canadian are much snowier.

Last 3-4 runs of the HRRR are subsequently a bit colder.  18z about to run shortly and it will go out 36 hrs versus the others that only go 18. 
I like the trends today overall.  Some of us need to thread the needle (ala Patrick Mahomes) but I think we’ll all take our chances with that. 

I just hope it's 6" of snow and not .3" of ice.

Tuttle seems to be buying into a heavy sleet scenario for OKC and possibly Tulsa.

Not sure I agree though(as if that matters).

Hrrr did not have as much sleet on this run. What it did have was pushed down to the SE.
