MIKEKC Posted December 2, 2021 Report Share Posted December 2, 2021 That GFS is not budging....more of the same, above average temps. Now, the ICON and GEM have snow here in KC next week.... The GFS has been right over the last month on these warm-ups and sustained warm-ups...yes, it has flashed some cold, but, overall, most runs have been WARM. I'm hoping its wrong We'll see what model wins out, the colder/snowier ones or the warmer/rainier ones. Game on! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GFS then develops the West coast trough shown below into a closed low over Nebraska which is what happened in cycle #1. So this matches pretty well...so maybe around a 60 day cycle length or so if this pans outs. Looks like our storm based on the cycle length you found is showing up on the Euro and GFS on the 11th and 12th. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minny_Weather Posted December 3, 2021 Report Share Posted December 3, 2021 FGF on this wintry mischief: Quote .LONG TERM...(Saturday through Thursday) Issued at 324 PM CST Thu Dec 2 2021 The headline for the extended period is the system on Saturday evening into Sunday. A clipper system is expected to strengthen as it and an associated surface low pass over Eastern North Dakota. The potential for banding with this system is there, with frontogenetical forcing preceding the synoptic forcing. It is not a perfect scenario by any means for heavy snow, but the potential exists for the northern valley wherever the forcing is the strongest and banding sets up. Moisture does not appear to be an issue with this system, as QPF probabilities for greater than 0.10 inches is around 80% on an axis stretching from the Devils Lake Basin to south of the Red Lakes. The trend in the guidance has been a southern pull on the highest amounts, so we will continue to monitor this trend and make changes as necessary. Confidence is lower on coverage of possible bands, and where they will set up. Snowfall amounts are very tricky with this system, like with any banding system, but we are a bit more confident in the fact that there will be plowable snow on Saturday evening in the northern half of the CWA. Travel impacts are looking more and more likely as well, but dependent upon numerous factors that are not as certain right now. Our next issue with this system is the possibility of areas of blowing snow resulting from snowpack and higher winds on Sunday. Winds are expected to increase due to a tight pressure gradient behind the surface low to around 15 to 20 MPH with gusts up to 35 MPH in the afternoon. This would impact travel as well, making the travel impacts last longer than the falling snow. Temperatures on Sunday would be in the 20s to low 30s, with wind chills in the single digits in the afternoon when winds are strongest. Sunday into Monday, winds should calm and lows will be in the single digits on both sides of zero. 1 Quote Formerly *ahem*: LNK_Weather, TOL_Weather, FAR_Weather, MSP_Weather, IMoveALot_Weather.

Minny_Weather Posted December 3, 2021 Report Share Posted December 3, 2021 ... And on what I'm receiving right now: Quote .UPDATE... Issued at 720 PM CST Thu Dec 2 2021 Snow is expanding in coverage across eastern ND and there are reports/webcams showing snow covered roads in the Devils Lake Basin. This activity is spreading east into the RRV and is in line with previous idea of widespread light/localized moderate rates (due to some embedded banding). I adjusted coverage/timing a bit to reflect widespread activity and activity further south, I also delayed the ending of snow until later tonight as some CAMs are showing it possibly lingering a bit longer as frontogenesis lingers a bit longer. Would not be surprised to get over an inch tonight. That would be nice as I expected nothing. Maybe it'll even knock the high tomorrow down a couple degrees. 1 1 Quote Formerly *ahem*: LNK_Weather, TOL_Weather, FAR_Weather, MSP_Weather, IMoveALot_Weather.
