I finished with 7" at my house!! This is the first snowfall over 6" in MBY in nearly 10 years (13", 2/4/2014). Topeka set a record for November 25 with 6.3" (old record was 6.1", 1975). I don't k

I measured 5" in MBY and looking at radar could see squeezing out maybe another 1-2". Nice to have the recent rain and snow after the very dry summer and fall!

Over an inch so far but the temp has been running 33-34 degrees. Getting down to freezing would help. Still, not bad for November!   VID_20231125_144916567.mp4

Looks like our local mets have decided on 3-5" for MBY. Don't have the numbers handy, but I believe it was 2018 that we last had a November snowfall over 1". Now all it has to do is actually snow...lol.

Whippin' out your KC Magnet early!  Good luck to you and the KC crew and I hope @Clinton can score a whitened landscape!

I believe @mlgamerjust got upgraded to a Warning level snow.  Hi-Res models have jogged north this morning while the GFS was mostly unchanged for mby.  3km NAM seems to reflect the forecast well atm.

Currently 23 degrees with clouds moving in and a light NE breeze.  Forecast high is 44 I bet it doesn't even come close to that.  hummm

DTX was saying that there is a window when milder air can surge north ahead of the re-enforcing colder air, but that 44F seems quite high for you. Be interesting to see how it goes as it may help understand my future up here riding that line. Apparently the latest NAM runs have boosted their confidence. They didn't lower the temps, but have lost the mixy look even for the airport. I've seen this before tho - they could still bring back the mixy look. But for now:

NWS Sioux Falls morning AFD. 

Lets go NAM!! 

TODAY: As of 3 AM, area webcams and surface observations show light to moderate snow falling from near and southwest of a line from Iroquois, Parker, and Beresford SD to Sioux City IA. More aggressive saturation has occurred in the lower levels than soundings previously indicated, favoring NAM/RAP guidance over HRRR/GFS. Have expanded and increased snow chances and totals for this morning, when the bulk of the snow and travel impacts are expected. Increased snow amounts/QPF from original WPC starting point with a CONSAll/HREF blend to line up better with most deterministic and HREF guidance and recent trends. This has increased snow totals to 1 to 2 inches across an area near and south of a Yankton and Beresford SD to Sioux Center and Spencer line. Areas near the Highway 20 corridor may see isolated 2 to 3 inch amounts due to modest mid level frontal lift.

EAX AFD: 

.Discussion...
Issued at 401 AM CST SAT NOV 25 2023

Key Messages:

- The first snowfall of the season is expected this afternoon into
  early Sunday morning.

- Winter Weather Advisory in effect from noon today through 6 AM
  Sunday. Expect hazardous travel conditions.

- Generally 1" to 4" of snow is expected for most of the area
  (less than an inch toward the Ozark Plateau).

Discussion:

Chilly but tranquil conditions are in place across the region this
early morning with temperatures in the 20s and light winds. A
closed low currently centered over the Utah/Colorado border
continues to move eastward. This closed low will become an open
wave as it moves east of the Rockies into the High Plains later
this afternoon. Low level clouds will move in from the west by
late morning/early afternoon, with dewpoints rising from the teens
at the current moment into the upper 20s to even low 30s by
tonight as the low levels moisten up out ahead of the approaching
trough. Snow will develop over the OK Panhandle and into southern
Kansas later this morning, with this approaching the region from
the WSW by early afternoon. Light snow aloft will likely
evaporate before reaching the surface in the early to mid
afternoon hours, but this will help moisten the low levels as well
as cool surface temperatures thanks to evaporative cooling.

Finally, with cooler surface temperatures and humidity, light
snow should begin reaching the surface by mid afternoon over ENE
Kansas before spreading further east into western and NW MO.
Surface temperatures for much of the KC Metro (especially SE
portions of the metro) should stay above freezing through the
afternoon hours before falling to freezing or just below in the 6
to 8 pm window. How quickly surface temperatures cool and low
levels moisten will have an impact on total snow accumulations.
Prime time for accumulating light snow looks to be between around
5 pm this afternoon and 3 am Sunday morning. Total accumulations
have increased a bit from the previous forecast package, with the
current grids showing generally 1 to 4 inches for most of the
winter weather advisory area, with a trace to one inch south
southeast of the advisory area. Model soundings and cross sections
depict the possibility of some conditional symmetric instability
(CSI) coincident with some frontogenesis/deformation zone overlap,
suggesting that some mesoscale banding could set up from eastern
Kansas into northern Missouri tonight into early Sunday morning,
allowing for locally higher snow totals. Probability matched means
from the 00z HREF suggest 2 to 4 inches for Kansas City to
Moberly and points north. The probability of 1" or more of snow at
Downtown KC airport is 81%, with a 39% probability of 2" or more
and 0% probability for 4" or more. The locations with the best
chance of receiving over 4" of snow look to be Atchison and
northwest Leavenworth Counties in Kansas. Given near to slightly
above freezing temperatures this afternoon, roadways should just
be wet at first unless snowfall rates are high enough to overcome
that. However, once temperatures fall to below freezing this
evening with snowfall rates increasing a bit, road conditions are
expected to deteriorate.

The forecast heavy snow track across southwest, south central into northeast KS is pretty much the "classic" heavy snow track that was common in the 1970s - 1980s but has been fairly rare since then. In fact, Feb 4, 2014 and the Dec 2009 Christmas Blizzard are the only systems I can remember off the top of my head that had similar heavy snow tracks for many years now. Happening in November makes this even more unique.

Of course it still has to snow first to make this anything real...lol. Looks like @Jayhawker85 picked the wrong time to leave town but I'm sure he's having fun...lol. I'll post pics later if it pans put. Good luck to @Clinton and others downstream to get into the action!

I hope they're correct. Read the AFD and lol, it was opposite the grid changes mentioned the likelihood of mixing and how the warm temps will limit accumulations to grass, etc. Typical holiday crew inconsistency.

@CentralNebWeather congrats on a nice 1st snow of the season.

I am heading to Gaylord area Monday morning and it looks like I will run into true winter conditions per APX's messaging. This is on top of the 2-4" inches they are predicting for Saturday night/Sunday. ❄️☃️

Models this morning are trending north and wetter for my area.  The very dry and south Canadian has flipped to a few inches.  The HRRR/RAP are showing 2-3" now.  The NAMs are still good.

The 12z Euro is also wetter and north, so it's a trend across all models.  It's still not a huge deal, but a couple inches would be nice.

Des Moines NWS has noticed the north trend and has issued an advisory up to Des Moines.  I suspect DVN will do something similar.

18z HRRR...  The snow should easily accumulate thanks to the cold surface and overnight timing.  Even this morning's very light snow immediately stuck to the pavement until the sun rose a bit.

As expected, DVN just expanded the advisory up through Cedar Rapids.

Oddly, the 18z NAM/3kNAM have dried out (usually the 18z run is juicy), but the RAP continues to get wetter.  The 20z run has Cedar Rapids up to 4+ inches.

Sweet. Gonna be fun to wake up to snow flying tomorrow. Can’t wait. Hopefully we get some flakes tonight before it’s too late as well.

What benefits Iowa will have the opposite effect here...and, we're back to a mixy nothingburger per DTX. Less surprising than this morning's head-fake icons tbh. As posted prior, Thanksgiving time snow climo is extremely low for Detroit. Still, gladly take mood flakes - better than nothing. 

Now I turn my eyes to the Northland where winter rarely disappoints and this event is looking better with every cycle:

The result will be a brief but intense episode of lake effect snows,
which locally may eclipse 1"/hr rates Sunday night and into Monday
morning. This in particular favors spots downwind of Grand Traverse
Bay and into the Big Five of Charlevoix, Otsego, Crawford, Kalkaska,
and Antrim counties... with impacts to be had on the US 131 corridor
from Petoskey to Kalkaska and I-75 from Indian River to Grayling.
These particular spots are the most likely to see an additional 3-6"
Monday night, with some localized 8"+ not out of the question.
a generalized additional 3-6"+ of accumulation seems likely 
Monday night into Tuesday across the dominant snowbelts.... 
which in turn tells me that it is not entirely impossible for
some snowbelt areas of NW lower to see upwards of 18"+ of total
accumulation in the Sunday to Tuesday timeframe.

WWA for 2” of snow maybe over 24 hr period.   Classic first light snow of the year over reaction.  It’s West  Michigan.

LOL - I figured that was by design. Seemed like tStasch was Stacsh's alter-ego at times.

They are doing the same thing for me in SE Wisconsin. But they don't have the guts to say a minimum amount of snow, only "up to 3 inches" I guess that's one way to cover your butt if you bust a forecast. This is bringing in some really good snowmaking weather so even if I get skunked I'm gonna be happy wednesday.

      May 2024 Observations and Discussion

      Today looks to be our last chilly and dreary day with temps struggling to no higher than the mid 60's. The sun returns tomorrow. Our next chance of rain after today looks to be Wednesday night. Some lower spots could approach 80 degrees on Wednesday before we fall back to near normal temps around the mid 70's toward the Memorial Day Weekend! Chester County wide records for today: High 95 degrees on this date back in 1962 at Devault 1W, Coatesville 1SW and Phoenixville/ Record low occurred just last year with a 29.4 degree temperature in Warwick Township (2023) / Rain 2.68" at Marshallton (2015)

      I see a low of 68 coming up Tuesday night. Sheesh, it ain't June yet! Some of the weeks this Spring are not good for those who haven't totally adjusted.

      Today might be our last high in the 60s until October.

      IO convection has trended stronger (and WPAC weaker) as it’s gotten closer in time. Which suggests the low frequency signal (base state) is transitioning into the E-Hem. Though there is still an increasing WPAC component to tropical forcing over the next few weeks thanks to the MJO, so I don’t think it will fail altogether. It just doesn’t have the steroidal wave-1 signature it did before. The MJO will propagate back to the E-Hem in June, which will constructively interfere with the developing base state, augmenting trades over the dateline/IPWP and likely forcing heavy -PNA/western trough response (a wetter/more zonal pattern compared to the current blocky/meridional one). But the result of that is a large ridge downstream over the CONUS, which will probably expand to cover most of the lower-48 by in July. Once it gets cranking it could be difficult to contain.

      Seems like this May could end up a bit wetter than the last couple out here in the Charleston CWA. Living up to its reputation for a top rainfall month on average. In 2022, July/Aug and February were my wet ones, and I remember Jan 2023 having more than 5" of rainfall. Many of last year's months ended below average on precip. The warmest parts of the year are coming up. Looking like no more sub-50 degree lows happen until September. During the next period of warmth I even see an upper 60's low Tue night before more storms roll in. 61 right now and thick fog.
