Stormhunter87 Posted February 20, 2019 Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 Don't give up yet, more moderate snow is starting to wrap back in from Central Nebraska and will move east to fill in the snow area once this heavy band lifts north. This storm is far from over, at least I think. Still feeling like we could end up with 6" to 8" out of this thing, looks like we have right around 2" here in SW Omaha so far, with plenty more to come.The storm is moving sw to ne so we need development in northern Kansas. Sadly it doesn't look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minny_Weather Posted February 20, 2019 Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 The small area of precip in NW KS is the only "wraparound" potential I see for the rest of the night. Other than that, we're going to be dry as a bone. I don't see a slot this size filling in drastically enough to make up for the crappy totals we're expecting right now. Maybe the backside will moisten up a bit but I'm definitely not holding my breath. 1 Quote Formerly *ahem*: LNK_Weather, TOL_Weather, FAR_Weather, MSP_Weather, IMoveALot_Weather.

Hawkeye Posted February 20, 2019 Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 The HRRR has a big dry area moving into east-central Iowa by midnight, cutting off the snow completely for a couple hours. Radar shows south of I-80 still struggling to fill in with precip. It is also becoming increasingly aggressive with the mixing by morning. It now has the sleet passing through and turning to freezing rain for many around here. I'm still thinking 3-4" total here, even though we got a head start. It is currently not snowing at all as a dry pocket is moving through.

Minny_Weather Posted February 20, 2019 Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 Just went out and measured 2.5". About par for the course for this time of night.

OmahaSnowFan Posted February 20, 2019 Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 Just measured 2.5” at my place. Coming down really hard, but sadly even this heavy snow weakened as it was moving in with the majority of the “yellows” disappearing as it moved north into the metro. Probably have about 30-45 more minutes of the real heavy stuff before it lightens up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East Dubzz Posted February 20, 2019 Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 Ripping out there real good. As great as this is, don’t know if I can stay up much longer. Had to get up early tomorrow as it was, but will be even earlier now with having to shovel. Nice to see a little poundtown before that though!

OmahaSnowFan Posted February 20, 2019 Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 3” now. Another 1/2” in the last 1/2 hour. Heavier snow should shut off here in a bit and it’ll be up to whatever redevelops overnight. Would like to hit 6” even though it looked like 7-8” was likely earlier today.

East Dubzz Posted February 20, 2019 Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 I am always skeptical of widespread high totals with a faster moving system like this. Some areas may get under some favorable banding, but it’s get to pound consistently for a while, and that’s just difficult to do around here, especially with these somewhat orangized systems.

gabel23 Posted February 20, 2019 Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 Currently getting grapual as the backside of this storm gets ready to move into my area.
