Hopefully you'll see it puking right when daylight emerges tomorrow and enjoy a full blown winter storm during the daytime.  Buckle up!  You'll make up for what you didn't see back in NOV.

Preview of @hawkstwelves place come Wed morning

Interesting how the 12Z models have shifted everything back northwest…

South central SoDak and north central Nebraska seems to be the target now.

Meanwhile I’m in my 3rd winter weather advisory this season for less than 1” of snow and a light coating of ice.🙄

Nothing beats a cold January rain ☹️. Guess we should be thankful for the moisture though.

That seems high for us, unless there is convection with a heavy snow band. 

I read it further, basically they are saying if cold air moves in faster we get more snow than ice. I’m hoping that happens. Currently sitting at 32.0 and .20” of rain. I’ll take the precip

Currently 71 

Humidity 64%. 

Pretty sticky right now. Thankfully it’s not hot.  Odd for January.

I have been bumped up again! Now calling for 7-10". They've also pushed the timing way back again....now 2am Tue to 6pm Wed. Also currently light snow already with a dusting.

Ofc, it's MSP - enjoy!

Weather doesn’t seem that important right now after watching the injury and collapse of Damar Hamlin of the Buffalo Bills. 

Scariest thing I have ever seen. Been a bills fan since I was 5 yrs old. Just so hard to believe. I just hope it’s not another hank gathers which is the only thing I can make sense of. He got drilled in the chest and he had a bad heart. Prayers out to Hamlin and family.

Ummm...warning now from 7am-6pm Tuesday with a WWA from 6pm Tuesday-6pm Wednesday and for a total of 4-7". Lol. This thing has literally been pushed back 16 hours and now dropped dramatically in totals. Something must have changed a lot for MSP with tonight's models.

Nvm "few more inches after the 4-7" so I guess still on track with totals just keeps getting pushed back. Storm must be crawling.

I was square in the middle of the tornado watch today but mostly a disappointment. I got one cell with some dime sized hail and 1/3" of rain in about 5-10 minutes, but most of the Tulsa area saw very little. Go east about an hour and things really picked up with a few tornadoes, etc. 

Pretty wild for Jan 2nd even if it was mostly a disappointment. Lets bring back the snow now! 

Winter 23-24: Total Snow (3.2")    Total Ice (0.2")     Coldest Low: 1F     Coldest High: 5F

Snow Events: 0.1" Jan 5th, 0.2" Jan 9th, 1.6" Jan 14, 0.2" (ice) Jan 22, 1.3" Feb 12

Medium range ensemble guidance mostly still keeping that mega trough in place along the west coast. This yields mild southwest flow for OK with some periodic rain chances. Obviously if any troughs eject inland we get a severe threat. image.png

Wet evening in KC and it was also the 17th wettest January day ever.

 
***RECORD***As of 10PM...Kansas City has received 1.08" of rain. This breaks the daily rainfall record of 0.94" set a few years ago in 1897. Normal precipitation for the entire month of January in KC is 1.16" so we almost reached that just today! #DroughtBustin

Congrats to Sioux Falls. We haven't even gotten a dusting yet in Brookings. I should know better by now to trust the NWS over KELO as their snowfall predictions are usually much more accurate. They trust the European model and pretty much nobody else.  Enough storms being overhyped where they predict double the actual snowfall you'd think I learn my lesson by now.

No more following potential storms days ahead of time using models for me. It almost always leads to disappointment. No more trusting the NWS.

We are at about 8 inches here for this event so far, although it's very hard to measure with the drifts. Heavy snow continuing to fall with a temp of 21.

Congrats on reeling this one in... just saw that heavy snow, thunder, and 0.13 mile visibility was reported at Foss Field around 9:00am - that's wild... Enjoy the snowstorm! Wishing that I was back in Sioux Falls today (by the way between 2013-2019 I traveled up to Sioux Falls for work 2-3 times a month and really enjoyed going up there - always enjoyed downtown and the Phillips Avenue area).

Here in Omaha we are getting a mix of rain, sleet, and wet snow now (after getting some thunderstorms earlier this morning). We picked up 0.60" of rain in my backyard so at least we got some decent moisture out of this system. Honestly I can't remember the last time we have had thunderstorms in Omaha during both the months of December and January.

Cleared the deck and steps for the dogs one hour ago. Since then we've received another 2.5 inches. Still coming down heavy but I can see the ending line of precip on the radar getting close.

Did you get any thundersnow? The radar returns over Sioux Falls looked very impressive earlier this morning.
