January 19th-20th Light Snow Event

Models have been showing this for a few days.  As always discrepancies exist on placement and strength, but this looks like 1-4" event for parts of Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri, and Illinois.  Right now Wisconsin and Minnesota look to be too far north to get in on much action, but still time for a shift. 

 

6z GFS which actually did shift north and strengthen

yes, love the trend on the Euro.  Came in further north than last night.  If I could get 2-3" I'd be happy.  I got 8" from our first storm in November then 3.5" of sleet with a half inch of snow at the end of December; otherwise no accumulating snow.

Same here...if somehow we can score 2-3" with this one I'd be happy.  Enough to cover up the grass again!

It's interesting to note that this wave correlates with the 30-day cycle that had an open wave on Dec 21st that tracked thru N MO/N IL/MI and brought .50-.75" of rain.  Obviously colder temps don't hold as much moisture so I'm not expecting those kind of amounts from this...maybe half that.

IT APPEARS THAT AT LEAST
2-4 INCHES WILL BE POSSIBLE ALONG AND SOUTH OF I80...1-2 INCHES FROM
I80 NORTH TO THE HWY 30 CORRIDOR...AND LESS THAN AN INCH UP TOWARD
THE HWY 20 CORRIDOR. BULK OF THESE SNOW ACCUMS TO OCCUR FROM 00Z-06Z
WED...ALTHOUGH THE SOUTHWESTERN THIRD OF THE DVN CWA MAY HAVE UP TO
AN INCH ALREADY BY SUNSET TUE EVENING. FOR NOW WILL TONE DOWN THE
WETTER 12Z RUN GFS WHICH HAS AS MUCH AS 4-6 INCHES SOUTH OF I80 AND
3-4 INCHES NORTH OF I80 TO THE DBQ AREA BY 12Z WED.
