GFS has 4”+ of QPF, most of it rain the next 10 days. Would be big problems here

0Z NAM is north. Looks more like the GFS

Crazy to see how much lower Norfolk is vs Lincoln/Omaha. This has been reversed and to this extreme for years. Also Lincoln is within a couple of inches of the all time record. Omaha has a ways to go...

the next storm on the Euro(12th) is even more impressive than this weekend's storm

Up to 22 deaths now and possibly more with the tornadoes in the South. This one event has already surpassed the total deaths from all of last year.

Crazy amount of tornado warnings in the Southeast right now. I’ve never seen a mesoscale discussion for one tornadic storm before. Tornado emergency currently in effect for this cell as well and correlation coefficient looks impressive too

Meh. We had a minimum like this at the end of the last decade with very high numbers of spotless days and look what happened to global temperatures after that. August 2009 went entirely spotless as part of a streak of 52 consecutive days without a spot. https://www.ign.com/boards/threads/sun-run-of-51-days-without-a-spot-now-among-the-top-5-longest.250531293/ 2009 was an above average year for severe weather with over 1300 tornado reports. https://www.spc.noaa.gov/climo/online/monthly/2009_annual_summary.html The following year 2010 was a very active severe weather season including over 1500 tornado reports. https://www.spc.noaa.gov/climo/online/monthly/2010_annual_summary.html# 2011 was even crazier for severe weather with almost 1900 tornado reports. https://www.spc.noaa.gov/climo/online/monthly/2011_annual_summary.html Severe weather is usually such a microscale event that if a temperature is 78 degrees vs 80 degrees, you can still get plenty of severe weather. Moisture and wind energy(where the jet stream sets up) is more important to severe weather. The last few years we've had a delayed spring so cold fronts were constantly ramming through the GOM wiping out moisture return and there were also droughts in the southern and central plains. Then once it warmed up, the jet stream jumped up to Canada. I chase a lot and that was the biggest issues the last couple years, low dewpoints or not a strong jet. Last I heard for this year, the Gulf is still pretty warm and as long as we don't get systems always wiping out the moisture return(which we haven't so far), and if it stays this active with storm systems, I think we could have an active severe storm season.

We've had a cold and above normal snowfall month of February, but as someone else here pointed out, for the majority of us, this winter prior to February wasn't that extreme, and now we're ready to declare no summer and no severe weather for the country? I am in a winter weather forum so I guess I shouldn't be totally shocked.....

Yeah I can’t believe your luck moving away from Nebraska the year we actually have a good winter!

Spring!!!

Omaha Eppley rechecked their data for February and had miscalculated at some point, so what looked like being short a couple of tenths ended up being a record February and December through February snowfall

I thought the same thing yesterday when I was outside cleaning up after our blizzard. It was only 15 degrees with a breeze, but actually didn't feel that bad bc of the strong sun.

Measured the snowpack in my backyard and it’s running about 13-14”. Had drifts of 2 feet as well. We’ve had 23” of snow since 2/10.

Omaha has tied the snowiest Dec-Feb period on record wiith 44.3” of snow

Here’s video someone took of the thundersnow in Omaha last night. Awesome! Hope it works for everyone... https://www.facebook.com/groups/241634282627903/permalink/1296926500432004?sfns=mo

Snowing pretty hard again but the back edge is only about 10 miles away and moving pretty quickly.

Measured between 6-7” at my place. Hard to measure of course. Was surprised to have that much! Snow is very light and fluffy now and really blowing around. Temp down to 21.6. Going to be a lot of drifting overnight into tomorrow.

So the Euro ended up wrong with its shift south then...

Looks like you’re ripping again

Saw reports of 10” in Ceresco, 9” in Bennett, and 8.5” in Gretna all in Nebraska.

Noticed the same thing myself. Didn’t even work sometimes

Eppley Airport last report. Thunder snow, winds gusting to 47 mph, 1/4 mile visibility
