The Ole Bucket Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 If the NWS is gonna be stubborn and not move the warning to Ste Gen county, I'm setting the bar at 4" for this thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhope84 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 So nice to have an event overperform in our region, and it’s my favorite kind of snowfall—Currier & Ives style. I hope everyone enjoys the storm. It’s been an interesting event to watch unfold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Waterboy Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 How is it that NWA gets stuck in the middle of the dry air donut hole??? Ugh!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormdragonwx Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Yeah looks like we are getting what Tulsa got a year or so ago... As I feared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s not really what happened in Tulsa. Tulsa had moisture, just no cold. I wouldn’t worry in NWA yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MUWX Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Portions of the Wichita forecast area just got upgraded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockchalk83 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 46 minutes ago, MUWX said: Portions of the Wichita forecast area just got upgraded Yeah, we did. The interesting thing about this system is that the upper level feature is in a more closed low setup, which leads to slower progression and more lift for snow. Already 4-6" across the Wichita metro, with probably another 6-8 hours of snow to go. Someone is getting 10+" in south-central Kansas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoWeatherguy Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Only 1" here in Bella Vista at 9pm. We haven't had any good banding at all here. We might eek out a couple of more if we're lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoMo Posted January 10 Author Share Posted January 10 In a decent band in Joplin right now. Coming down at a fairly good pace. Probably 2-3" or so, so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The heavier stuff east of Tulsa never shifts to the east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’re already at two inches, it feels like the forecast is pretty much on track to verify perfectly, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormdragonwx Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Dry air intrusion has been an issue driving down rates and the overall size of the flakes themselves in NW AR. Though over the past 30 mins I have noticed the snow has started to back build and fill the dry slot thats been streaming over the Vance and Fredrick radar sites out in Oklahoma. Apparently Kiowa, KS and the Amarillo, TX metro got 10-12" respectively. Go to those radar sites and you will see a pretty hefty band on the back side of this system with its wraparound. Now whether it dries up before it gets over here is another story. EDIT: Actually the band extends all the way back to Lubbock, TX and Clovis, NM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably so. Just stating it’s been interesting to have light, but steady flakes since about 5:00. Nothing really heavy. I still think 5-6” is very doable. Sounds like some areas around Fort Smith and south will hit a foot or more. I also think Muskogee/Tahlequah also has some juicy totals when it’s all over.

stormdragonwx Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Just noticed Tulsa revised up the totals again on their DSP page after dropping them earlier this evening when the 00z models came out. Hmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
