snowstorm83 Posted January 25, 2021 Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 6 minutes ago, The Snowman said: KOAX showing a little filling in on radar down by Tecumseh; nothing to write home about, but at least signals that we don't appear to be at risk of the column rapidly drying out in the near future in southeast Nebraska. Aforementioned small pocket of surface divergence that seemed to be drying out returns in northeast Kansas is also now moving into northern Missouri, perhaps driving some of that filling-in nearby. Hell yes that's what I'm seeing too. Still heavy snow in north Lincoln with no lull threat.

hlcater Posted January 25, 2021 Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 Interestingly, the 12z HRRR is doing better valid at 20z than the 18z run is. Quote 2021-22 Snowfall: (Hiawatha) TOTAL: 10.2" (12/28: 3.0") (12/29: 0.8") (1/1: 6.4") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Snowman Posted January 25, 2021 Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 19z HRRR still wants 12-14" of snow in Omaha... combined with morning totals, would imply storm totals in the 15-18" range. Imagine that's extreme but highlights we still have several hours of moderate to heavy snow to go. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkeye Posted January 25, 2021 Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 It's a bit odd... as soon as the very lightest radar returns touched Cedar Rapids, I received flurries.

OmahaSnowFan Posted January 25, 2021 Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 I’m up on the north side of Omaha and this is probably the lightest it’s snowed since it first started. D**n heavy stuff (yellow returns) won’t make it past Louisville. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hlcater Posted January 25, 2021 Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 The past several HRRR runs (since 17z or so) have a terrible handle on the ongoing snow in E IA. For example, the 20z run has IC receiving 0.3" through 23z, but we're already at a half inch or so. 2 Quote 2021-22 Snowfall: (Hiawatha) TOTAL: 10.2" (12/28: 3.0") (12/29: 0.8") (1/1: 6.4") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Snowman Posted January 25, 2021 Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 After a late-morning and early-afternoon full of concerns about radar returns drying out, the last few scans on KOAX show some promise with darker greens and some yellows building back up in western Iowa, along with some modest filling-in in southeast Nebraska. Still struggling a bit along and north of I-80 but trends to the south look a little more positive to me than they were earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
