schoeppeya Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 NAM came south again too. NEOK bullseye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoMo Posted February 17 Author Share Posted February 17 18z NAM is more juicy. 4.2" of 10:1 on the 12z and 10.1" on the 18z at Tulsa. Interesting band of snow popping up before midnight tonight as well along the KS/MO border. And it's colder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWAflizzard Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 NAM had 12-15 inches across the four state region. That snow will be around for a while with the cold that settles in over the next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StormChazer Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Latest RDPS. There is a definite trend here. The HHR, NAM & RDPS are all signialing the same solution. A southern shift of the heavy band into our area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoMo Posted February 17 Author Share Posted February 17 18z ICON shifted south a bit but it still has that double band thing going with increased QPF in our area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormdragonwx Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Yeah this is shaping up to being a once in a decade type event. Possibly comparable to the Feb 9th, 2011 storm that dumped 2+ feet over NE OK and NW AR. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MUWX Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Pretty cool page from SGF. Has pretty detailed point forecasts for cities in their CWA. Also has the boom or bust feature. Pretty crazy that a bust in the Joplin area is 7-8 inches. https://www.weather.gov/sgf/winter 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSwizzle83 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 21z RAP is going gangbusters... it is very unusual to see precip actually increase on the models in the leadup to the event. Usually it is letdown city. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schoeppeya Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 I'm finally letting myself buy in now that we are 12ish hours from the start and trends are increasing totals if anything. Looking like it's going to be the biggest snow since Feb 2011 followed by deep, deep cold. Hope everybody gets the goods and enjoys this once in every 15- or 20-year type event. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockchalk83 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Looks like the 3 KM NAM went back north just a smidge. Still widespread 8-12" for most here: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormdragonwx Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Man, all the major short range convective models are murdering much of NE OK, SW MO, and NW AR. So crazy to see this the night before the event.

schoeppeya Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I think you could draw a rough oval from independence to tulsa to mountain home to springfield to pittsburg and say anyone inside that could is looking at 8-12"+ depending on where the heaviest bands verify. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoMo Posted February 18 Author Share Posted February 18 Darn, back down to 5-14" with 10" expected here. https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/Prob_Precip/?zoom=SGF 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormdragonwx Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 At this point the only real fail scenarios will be seen thru nowcasting. #1. A stronger warm nose shows up cutting down on the snow turning it into one big sleet storm for a good portion of the event. #2. A stronger than anticipated dry slot cutting off moisture altogether. There's still a chance these totals get halved by morning but its looking less likely overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Waterboy Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 The mood here soured quickly…. what happened??? Edit: 03z RAP only shows 13” for me versus the 18” on the 21z. Let’s not throw out the baby with the bath water. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
