Same up here in North Tulsa....couldn't be more on the line....its either going to be 32.5 degrees and raining, or 31.9 and freezing rain and sleet.....HRRR is just so so close...and let's face it....asking these models to predict the very mile marker of the freezing line isn't reasonable. So a 10 mile deviance is the difference between an ice storm and just a cold rain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUWX Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Unless we get to 30 or below, I’m not worried. 31-32 and rain won’t be able to cause problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it's primarily falling at night, and powerlines are higher up so it will be colder than that. 850 MB temps are quite toasty though so I'm curious if the rain will actually help warm up the lower atmosphere. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoMo Posted December 31, 2020 Author Share Posted December 31, 2020 12z Euro did shift the snow band a bit farther east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoMo Posted December 31, 2020 Author Share Posted December 31, 2020 Also watching that quick moving moisture starved system coming through on Saturday for some snowfall. It's very cold at all levels so maybe some weird scattered convective type snows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUWX Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 The Canadian is way too warm at 18z, and even the latest HRRR is slightly too warm. That is concerning given what they show later this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insane. I hear you rockchalk. I live just southeast of Wichita right on the Sedgwick Butler county line and it feels like it's been forever since we've had a snow that completely covered the grass. This has been a fascinating storm to track and I'm hoping it snaps that streak. A few things I'm watching: Are the Hi Res models showing that eastward shift of qpf on to something? How quick will the changeover to snow occur? I still think there is merit to a heavy band of snow developing somewhere in this area that could over achieve and drop 6"+ even though we are only in a Winter Weather Advisory.

Wx 24/7 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 This is my current forecast. One or two degrees is very important. No model is getting this right at the present time. I am not sure how temps warm overnight with ENE or NE surface winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lokee Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Weather Service in Norman had Okc with a high of 40 today. We are at 34 now. Also Norman pulled Central Oklahoma and along I-44 just West of Tulsa into Winter Storm Warning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahah, yeah, Dew point temps are in the mid to upper 20's in NE OK, with those NE winds, that's going to mitigate that from moderating much. I really do think the eventual freeze line is going to be along Wagoner county east of Tulsa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jojo762 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Here in KC. Looks like EAX shows 4.4” of snow for my location. Honestly I’d be surprised if we didn’t end up with more. Not expecting too much ice accumulation here. Would love for the ECMWF to verify — we’d likely end up with around 8” if it did. Looks like the 18z HRRR bumped snow totals down a notch...

If you draw out the freezing line to the NE you are pretty close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
