Meanwhile, killer tornadoes North of Dallas.

Holy cow it's bad in Texas, it's been a while since I've heard Jeff talk like that.....large violent tornadoes.

The entire state of Iowa is under a winter storm watch now. Don't see an entire state covered in one type of watch too often.

Iowa is always in a good position for storms, I have seen it when the entire state is in a blizzard warning (dec 8, 2009). In my opinion, if you want winter storms Iowa is a great place to be.

Something about this storm that makes me aggravated. If all this rain were anywhere east of here, this would be one of the most over covered hype and panic storms for flooding anywhere on the news. But it's Oklahoma, a foot of rain, probably historic river flooding and flooding in many other areas. Nothing to see here folks. Lol. I guess Oklahoma/Arkansas don't really generate the ratings like South Carolina does.

You are seeing tornado warnings, blizzard warnings, flood warnings and now an ice storm warning. You guys are going to have a tough night!

Thank you! I'm not as good as reading these things as you guys are but I would say that is all snow and a lot of it!

in a minute or two, here is Lincoln which looks like sleet to snow

KOLU when you get a chance.

These are some insane totals being predicted for western Texas and the panhandle of Oklahoma. 

I would really start feeling good if only the darn GFS would come more in line with the Euro. Then again, I have to coach in a holiday tournament and I don't want that getting pushed back or cancelled because of weather. Tough to figure out what to root for! 

Reports of thunder, lighting and sleet tonight. I was on my way back home and seen a bolt of lightning! I must say, I wasn't expecting much of anything from this first wave but man did mother nature deliver!

Not only do I get a white Christmas and thanksgiving, I'm currently seein light snow! What a great couple days, now I'm hoping this next storm system is a share the wealth storm for a lot of us to enjoy! Merry Christmas everyone!

12z Euro is even farther NW and showing no snow for IA/WI/SE ME now...that precip is more than likely sleet/freezing rain in C IA/S&C WI...

I'm pretty sure that's 14+ right over my house!!! If anybody can give the digital read out for snow totals I would appreciate it! 

.

It's been amazing how consistent the Euro has been, I mean that's like 3 days in a row with pretty much the same path. There was a little change from run to run, but nothing like the 350 mile change the GFS has been doing!! I'm liking it! 

.

Straight thru central missouri, perfect!! This looks like the strongest run it has had yet!! 994 mb low, I like it, can't wait to see the snow totals. 

Holy cow is the Euro loaded with moisture...just look at that comma shape to the precip coming straight out of the GOM...thats a thing of beauty if you love meteorology. 

Looks good for us, doesn't look like there is much shifting to the south and east from last night. 

Dodge City not jumping on one model over the other just yet.

HPC jumping on the southeast trend.....

not too likely at this point.

I'm thinking this thing turns into a non event for us in south-central nebraska. With the Euro going in the same direction as the other models, we are getting more and more closer to being on the edge of the deformation band. I agree, coming back to the northwest is looking more and more unlikely. 

where you located gabel23?
