OKwx2k4 Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 The 12z EPS snow mean has the 2”+ line right across the northern 2/3rd’s of your state into the south side of KC. I think chances are you’ll have your first snowstorm of the season.I think so. As long as both sets of ensembles get me 2" plus, I'm guaranteed "something". My problem is if we get some of the slop and ice instead of snow. Don't need an ice storm this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OKwx2k4 Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 That is going straight for the EC....SMI will miss out on that....things can still change though I can see yr area getting a couple to several inchesIf theres any resistance to the southeast to turn it NE as it's passing me, there will be a wallop of snow here. Pattern and history suggest that the general path will still change as we go forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CentralNebWeather Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 I know that Joe Bastardi has been mentioning a pull back to the cold and stormy pattern for about 2 weeks. If he is correct, that should put us back in the game around Dec. 16th and forward. He also says that after this relaxation of the pattern, it will be a cold and stormy next 3 months or so. Just passing along his information, not saying he is right or wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East Dubzz Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 This upcoming pattern doesn’t look very fun. No moisture, but not really warm enough to enjoy the weather.

bud2380 Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 Model snooze fest continues for these parts. It was a fun few weeks to kick off the season, even though I just missed out on the big storms. I'd like to see some NW flow with a few clippers that over perform. Often times those are the funnest events, when you're expecting 1-2" but end up with a 4" storm. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like clippers in general have not been as frequent over the past few years. Of course, maybe that’s totally false, and I just haven’t been paying attention as much the last few years.

Stacsh Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 Man, what a warm day today. Well into the 50s. Also, the extended looks boring, cold and dry. All the snow chances that were forecasted in my extended has vanished away to partly cloudy. If it holds true, half of December goes dry and cold. A moisture starved clipper Thursday, then cool/dry for the next 4-5 days after that. Yikes. Not an encouraging start to Dec in Michigan. Hopefully something surprises in the near future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minny_Weather Posted December 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 On what was originally forecast to be a fairly quiet weather day,an unusual weather set up has produced a very narrow band of snoworiginating from steam from industrial plants in eastern Norfolk,NE. The atmosphere is cold and moist with a dense stratus deckacross the CWA. The steam is helping to raise the moisture contentand essentially super-saturate the dendritic layer. As a result,light to moderate snow continues to fall downstream of the steam,through Columbus and Seward. In other areas, light snow, mainlyflurries, has been reported under the extensive stratus deck whereplenty of moisture resides within the dendritic zone.
