83* and very dry out there. Humidity at 38*
In 48 hrs it will hit a low of 23 with rain, ice, snow mix. 
How crazy is that? Just another odd week in a rather odd winter.

72 for the High tomorrow before it barrels down to 32 in the afternoon.  
We get a lot of these in the late winter as springlike weather tries to sneak in early.


Well, it beats being bored!!

0z RGEM and GFS in agreement for a widespread light snow event with a narrow band of higher totals.

I do fairly well on the GFS. Most other models are minimal. NWS Hastings says 1” tops. Not expecting anything, so I won’t be disappointed if nothing materializes.

Dry air may be the problem, maybe some will make it to the ground.

This part of the LRC produced significant snows in Cycle 2 for the SW and it looks to deliver the goods up in the mountains again...

This is exactly what the mountains ordered from Mother Nature into the Rockies of CO...esp near Durango/Telluride...

Light snow fell all night here.  There are some places the grass is covered, and other places with nothing as the strong winds are whipping up the snow.  I would say a rough estimate of 1/2" seems about right.  Love when the snow whips down the street.  NWS Hastings a little more optimistic this morning of a couple of inches from Wednesday night through Thursday morning.

If I get the Stasch formula "last minute bump north", this could be good over here 👍

Should be cold enough wherever it does end up snowing.  My new snow blower arrives Friday.  I broke down and bought an electric one with cord.  Mid-size driveway.    Never got my one gas toro fixed this winter.  Haven't needed it!  So hopefully I get enough to test it out  before Spring.

GFS is trying to give me 6 inches of snow.  I'll be pleasantly shocked if that happens. 

From Garys blog this morning:

We had a similar issue with the last storm. In that one we wondered if the storm would stretch out and weaken too fast and lower snow totals, or would it hold together. We made the accurate prediction of it holding together. As it passed by it stretched out and weakened rapidly. This time we have similar issues, but instead of it having to hold together, we will be wondering if it will strengthen just a little bit.

 

Seems to me there is a possibility of this strengthening overhead which would be good for us and real good for those further NE.

I feel like it's been a long time since we had an over-performer.  I'll certainly take it.

There is those bands of snow that keep showing up.  Where those occur will make a big difference in a short distance.  This map again shows that pink band coming up to my county.  GFS also has shown it.  Many other models don't have anywhere near this amount.  Will be fun to watch in the next 2 days.

It will be. The NAM barely has a dusting here.

DVN going with 1-2" and isolated 3" totals.

  

Snow will overspread the area from southwest to northeast on
Thursday and end from southwest to northeast Thursday night.

Since the low track is south of the area precipitation would be in
the form of all snow. However I cannot fully rule out a brief period
of sleet or freezing rain when the precipitation initially starts.

The time frame of the relatively higher snowfall rates look to occur
Thursday afternoon into evening.

Right now it looks like a general 1-2 inch snowfall. Some isolated 3
inch amounts cannot be ruled out. While the overall snowfall rates
will be low, the Thursday evening commute will be impacted.

18z GFS has been consistent in giving KC a nice snow and laying down a heavier band from mby into southern Mich.

Getting close to @CentralNebWeatherwith a heavier band

Has been showing up for many runs in a row. NWS Hastings thinks GFS is overdone and going with much lower amounts.

My office mentioned dry air being a problem.  For mby the GEFS has cut totals 2 runs in a row so probably won't get much here either.

DTX calling this "sub-WWA level event". Oh well, the 50's and showers today, while messy does have me thinking spring again. Cold after this is going to be worse.

Wonder if that is what they’re thinking. They typically never go with the model that shows the most for any storm. Not me just wishing for more, just an odd thing I’ve noticed.
