PSA:
The NWS always appreciates observations, especially detailed observations that everyone on here is capable of giving. That can be done thru Twitter, as they often set up a feed for that, or the mPing app. That can include final snowfall amounts, when the snow starts/stops, precip type, dew point, etc
This helps them with short term forecasts as well as future forecasts as they can learn from them. A few years ago they had a freezing rain advisory for Leavenworth, but I notified
For days I've been excited about storms and heavy rain this weekend. However, as is the case all too often, models are backing off as we approach the start. Some models are drying out my area big time. Instead of 2+ inches, there are now models showing less than a half inch Friday and less than an inch total all weekend. Regarding the first wave on Friday, it has slowed and it doesn't arrive here until midday Friday when the storms are crapping out. The second wave is still very up in the air. A few models insist there will be a plume of heavy rain from Missouri up through southeast Iowa. Other models (Euro) say the heavy rain will be in northern Iowa into Minnesota, with no heavy band from Missouri into southeast Iowa. Once again, I am having to greatly lower my expectation and just hope we can get an inch out of this entire weekend.
On top of the BS this weekend, there is suddenly a trend on some models toward early May being much less warm and active compared to what they've been advertising in recent days.
