I have to remind myself not to get too caught up in precip placement this far out. Just know that the potential is there.

GFS still says we're on the fringe of being too far W to reap the benefits of the storm deepening and pulling in the deep cold air coincident with heavy precip... I'm just as worried about that as I am about the SN/PL line setting up too far NW right now.

GFS.... Colder here as well maybe showing more off an Rain to ICE/Snow

Sounds like springfield is concerned with more ice then anything. Their data graphics shows ice. The ice snow line on that graphic is one county to my north and ends right here basically where the ice/snow sets up. Man I do not want an ice storm noooooo. I wouldnt wish one on my worst enemy....well i dont think i would anyhow. Tons of snow though on alot of the snow maps being posted.

GGEM is concerning as it is farther SE and colder. Possibly ejecting it out as multiple waves?

72 hrs... Good snow over Central and N OK, Also in central MO ish and farther NE.

84 hrs. End of the precip is over JLN with the end of the heavier precip over Springfield and farther SE.

Yeah, hard to imagine there wouldn't be a second wave of precipitation given that nice 532 dm H5 low still sitting over AZ.

Interesting you brought that up, because it raises a good point: I can remember a few events recently where the models showed a very consolidated period in which we all saw the bulk of our QPF, but it ended up coming in multiple waves. January 28-30 of last year and December 2007 come to mind. Just goes to show that along with all the uncertainties on thermal profiles and QPF placement, the timing and intensity of the QPF is another variable for which the models can't always be trusted as even reasonable approximations from this range.

Indeed.. Lets keep this trend and maybe I'll see a few inches of snow.

Lol at that 19 in. for Monett.

HPC siding with the Ukie at this point, which appears to be an awesome track for this region as well so I'll take it.

Yeah, says the GFS/NAM may have some initialization errors. The individual ensembles have some spread as well. I'd rather have a track farther SE now as they may come back a bit NW once this thing is on land.

OMG 24.2" on the 12Z?!?! Apparently BUFKIT shows it as all snow whereas the model maps themselves show some sleet beforehand.

Someone oughta try making a Cobb map... would totally blow Kuchera out of the water for "clowniness". I'd do it, but I don't really know the Cobb algorithm. Is there any place that has source code for it?

From Chicago Storm:

78hrs: 1004mb SLP elongated from C. Arkansas to N. Louisiana.

Nice hit from OK to MO.

84hrs: 1000mb SLP in the Missouri Bootheel.

A hair south of 0z, but in the exact same track as the NAM.

Nice hit from NE. KAsnas to C. Illinois.

Looks to have a really tight 850 MB boundary at 72.
