The Long awaited pattern change is about to commence as the 1st trough is tracking into the PAC NW today.   This energy will track thru the N Rockies and spin up into our 1st significant Autumn storm for the Upper MW during the Sun/Mon period.  Will there be flakes flying for the those up north??  It will be the culprit as to how many of you will enjoy a bonafide Indian Summer weekend as this storm pumps up warmth over the heartland. 

0z GEFS...

Then we we have to monitor a very complex scenario as a trough that is spinning off the PAC coast heads into the SW region and interacts with the main trough that tracks through the central Rockies.  Not only that, but there is a tropical storm off the Mexican coastline that appears to track into N Mexico enhancing this fascinating scenario.  Possible TriFecta???

Could there be 1st flakes for someone in the heartland??  0z GEFS....hmmm???

Finally, there is a 3rd storm that the models are showing but the ultimate track is TBD...Bowling Ball??  Possible.  The key point here is we are entering a more active pattern and tracking systems through the Sub.  I have to say, it's not trending favorably for the central Plains of NE/SD.  Let's discuss!

6z HRRR showing widespread heavy rain today.  @OKwx2k4 and @Iceresistance heavy totals for E. Oklahoma.  EAX has 2-3 inches in mby.

And it will likely be stronger when we get to Winter.  Oklahoma snow storm?

Why do these maps look familiar?  Seen these misses to the Southeast way too many times over the years.  NWS Hastings is now back to putting blowing dust in the forecast on Sunday.  Moisture sure doesn't look good around here.

Tom, I was about to create this very same GIF and post it. It's been a LONG time since I have seen a healthy closed low take this track. It actually reminds me of storms of the late 70s / early 80s. With cold air this would be a near perfect heavy snow track for me. The Canadian (and 06z GFS) has a similar storm and track. Even if it doesn't pan out, it was fun to see and be reminded of storms of yesteryear...lol

“Great Minds Think Alike”…I have personally witnessed many times on here when these synchronicities happen.  It’s real cool to see how the weather bonds us all together as we  read and learn from one another.

Bah.  Yesterday models trended very favorably for Iowa.  Overnight and this morning, however, models are trending back southeast, especially with the closed southern low.  Even the ICON and GDPS (Canadian), which were the most nw and bullish, have shifted significantly southeast and now miss Iowa.  Models now show eastern Iowa only getting some light rain from the initial surge up the front.

Let's see if nature can spark some severe wx for our E NE peeps tomorrow...the ingredients are there to produce super cells...this is a fun first significant autumn storm to track that will carry with it multiple facets.

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow..."Once upon a Time, I had a vision"...earlier this year, I was in the Park City, UT and I sat on the patio deck looking at the Trails and I had a vision of this area being hit hard this Season.  I'm thrilled to see that their 1st Snow of the Season is a Big one!

Looks like we could have some boomers tomorrow evening. Would be a nice way to cap off this brief summer-like warmup before we fall back down to normal/below normal for the week.

Speaking of summer-like temps, looking at a high around 80 today. Going to enjoy it and have a BBQ with the family this afternoon.

Evening models are rolling in and the 18z Euro looks to provide some nice drought relief for the KC area and others.  It's gotten so dry hear this rain has me excited like a good snow storm to track.

Rain still falling over the lakes and esp Michigan at hour 90.

Looks to be a swing-n-a-miss for Motown. NOAA confirms we're in a drought but expect it to ease/subside by Jan 1 due to the expected influences of NINA

Texas will get 2 big chances at rain this week. 
Starting tonight the front will bring us rain beginning late tonight early morning.   

Then Hurricane Rosalyn will deliver some much needed rain to Texas Hill Country and south Texas.  
We’re finally in the rain loop and Farmers and ranchers alike will not be complaining!   Neither will lakes, rivers, or aquifers. Bring on the rain.

Models are looking pretty solid for eastern Iowa.  It appears there will be one band of rain, up to an inch, lifting up through my area.  A second band, with the main low, will surge up through Chicago.

Latest Euro shows just loads of precip for many folks over the next 10 days. Almost coast-to-coast. Unfortunately still skunking parts of the Plains states and parts of the SW but still really nice to see given how dry it's been for so long in many of these places. Very beneficial pattern change.

North Texas is 87* 

Winds Out of the South 26mph gusting to 40. 
Humidity 44%. Dew 60

It would seem to be blowing up a nice storm for us.  Rain shouldn’t hit until after midnight.  I dislike night storms as if they generate a tornado you can’t see them.

HRRR is a bit off, look at radar, the precipitation shield is much farther west than what the model shows...I think that is really good news for KC with regards to higher amounts. WE NEED A LOT, drought is pretty bad here, lots of trees and shrubs dying. Hopefully this will save a lot of them.

Good to see all the heavy rain from Texas up through Oklahoma, and into MO. Going to help get some water into the OLE MISSISSIPPI

14z HRRR now showing 2+ inches for KC.  Good deal on that westward shift.

Models have diverged a bit for my area.  The 3kNAM dropped to 0.5", but several other models are well over an inch, including the HRRR.  Less than one inch would be a disappointment.

1.25” rain, 67* and more storms rolling in around 9pm tonight. 
Wind will pick up with gusts to 35mph. Low 50 tonight. 
It’s been really welcomed. Can’t wait to get bounced out of bed tonight with thunder.
