You know it's a rough winter snowfall wise when KC disco mentions this-

Highest accumulations are expected across far
northern and NW MO where most will see about 0.5 inches or less;
however, some isolated 1 inch totals are possible.

Oh boy. 😉

Given the overnight timing and the heavy rates I wouldn't be surprised if we don't get a few inches of slop on the grassy surfaces.  Seems to be the best we can get this winter.

This storm pretty sums up this season....A season of Tracking "Wasted" winter storms for those from S WI down south...the only beauty about this system will be the convection and a textbook trowal and defozone setting up right overhead!  The radar will look pretty cool.  Oh, and let's not forget the wind aspect to it...I see High Wind watch's have been hoisted under the Belly of this little Beast.  Hang on to your hats @Hoosier!

0z Euro...peak wind gusts...loads of precip...

Euro caving also to the mighty NAM. Loading Maps...

 

 

Why are you saying models are caving to the NAM?  24 hours ago the NAM had a bunch of snow from central to northern Iowa.  The NAM was terrible until last night.

Ended up with 0.98" of rain yesterday, another 0.23" so far today and coming down. Probably will end up with at least another half inch of rain before its all over. Interestingly, some models showing rain switching to snow right at the end, so maybe a chance to pick up a dusting tonight. Obviously if precip is any heavier or longer we could see a bit more but its just too warm to hope for much.

Friday morning has trended slightly more interesting as well with that trailing wave. I think there is potential to get a slushy few tenths of an inch of snow if it works out right even though nothing is probably more likely. Something to watch at least.

The NAMs have trended back nw a bit this morning.  Keep in mind that the snow totals should probably be cut down even more than Kuchera.  The surface will be very wet from the rain.

It seems what the NAM does- the others follow bot not right away, usually 2 runs later. This latest NAM now is doing NAM things-- .5" to 3.3" from one run to the next.

Anyone have any thoughts why models are REALLY struggling with this system? It can't be because it wasn't properly sampled, its been over land in the observation  network for a long time now. I wonder if the the TS element taking place is/may rob  moisture??? Who knows.

I'm liking the trend so far this morning.  The southeast fade seems to have abated and even come back nw and more solid with the defo zone precip.

2º colder throughout the column, this is probably what would actually fall and accumulate, considering 1+" precip.

UK with a very narrow band. And a sharp cutoff on QPF on the NW side.

It's a decent jump nw and snowier than the 00z run, but still on the se edge of the model range.  Hopefully, the Euro will be farther nw again.

Just my .02-- and I'am probably off kilter , but anyhew-- I think guidance is struggling because as of basically right now there is no storm- at least pressure wise. Lowest I can find is 1013 MB - 29.93. It's forecast to lose 20MB in the next 16 hours. That's impressive compared to RI tropical systems--

Previous nomenclature and definitions

The United States National Hurricane Center previously defined rapid deepening of a tropical cyclone, when the minimum central pressure decreased by 42 millibars (1.240 inHg) over a 24-hour period.[6] Currently it is defined as an increase in the maximum sustained winds of a tropical cyclone of at least 30 knots (35 mph; 55 km/h) in a 24-hour period.[1] However, recent research suggests that mean sea level pressure is a better predictor of damage from hurricanes making landfall in the continental United States.[7]

Seems COD satellite data is down. ADDS still on and this thing looks like a beast with Gulf moisture.

This system  has seemingly  had me in its sights all week. Run after run.. At this point  im concerned this could be the biggest  event  in two winters. Once again a weekday early am event.  Looking at these models in fairly  decent  agreement  im quite surprised  theres no alerts for my county.

Looks like 18z NAM is taking a slight step back SE.  

Better consistency from some of these models sure would be nice.  nw, se, nw, se, stronger, weaker, stronger weaker.......

Would also be nice if the defo zone wasn't 2 counties wide.  Always gotta be threading the needle in every way.

How the heck does a model (3kNAM in this case) change this much in six hours, less than 24 hours before an event?

I have to really think about the last time I saw something like this. It makes no sense. It's such a huge difference at so close to the event. Only thing I can think of is TS storms robbing energy - thoughts?

Don’t complain too much my friend (things could be much worse like here in East Central NE)… you currently stand a good chance to get some decent precipitation. I would take 33 and rain all day long right now.

I'm not. Things could always be worse, but it is kind of a pet peeve. Though now the snow band is so narrow that you're riding the edge regardless.
