Southern Plains Late Fall/Winter 2015-16

Just wanted to start this to discuss various events, model guidance, etc.. Considering the El Nino and what it usually implies for OK/TX/KS, there's a pretty good chance we'll have a lot to discuss.

Hopefully, there will be a lot of southern plains action, followed by low pressure turning up into the lakes.

Let's combine the two. Superbomb anyone? :-)

Both are generally great systems to track, a bit to far south for your neck of the woods.  Last year's Super Bowl Blizzard was a great CO Low that hit both your region and ours quite well.  Looks like the blocking this year may be in place as odds are in favor with low solar and it being an El Nino year.

Both are fun and in the right pattern, my location usually gets a piece of the Colorado lows as well. I like the southern plains lows a little more because of the dynamics of the storms they often produce and when also in the right pattern they can move a little slower (sometimes a lot slower) and tend to produce more snowfall. Haven't had a good closed low through here in a couple of winters though.

AFD issued by Tulsa has Fayetteville, AR getting down to 31 tonight with a DP of 27. My area cools a lot more than they do over there so I'm going to go with 28 for my area. Growing season will end tonight officially. About 12 days late but not too bad.
