DMX having to deal with rain / snow line. Heavy snow falling right now, and from 1/2 inch "little or no" wording, to 2-4 inches in last forecast update. Will see if this lasts or changes to rain. **update - switching over to rain now 15 minutes after this was taken. Oh well that was fun while it lasted**

From DSM discussion regarding north / south solutions, that line about thunder is intriguing. Either way, I hope we all get in on some lucky thundersnow. ...The EC is slower with more emphasis on the southern stream of the trough, while the GFS has a more northern stream influence, ejecting the surface wave nearly 18 hours faster. These model differences result in low confidence in details, and precipitation types could change several times from snow initially, over to rain as warming continues, and then back to snow again as system exits. Some thunder is anticipated as well.. DSM discussion 1243 PM CDT Wed Mar 20 2024

Never seen that before on the map! Wow.

DMX just expanded the Winter Storm Warning area quite a bit to the north in IA.

Looks like a significant widening of the spc northern “moderate risk” zone. To including more of central Iowa. Surprised I’m under a tornado watch though - just doesn’t feel likely here in NW / NCentral IA.

This is turning out to be quite the after party.
