It's good to see. We have certainly waited long enough! Non boring weather day today. We could see some snow showers and perhaps a snow squall. n area of subsidence is expected late this morning through early afternoon on the backside of the cold front, with the first mid- level vort maxima exiting toward the southeast. Stronger CAA between 700mb-500mb will help to steepen mid-level lapse rates, meanwhile, warming near the surface from insolation will begin to develop modest instability. Over the past few CAM runs, 0-3km CAPE values are progged to reach 80-100 J/kg just ahead of the cold front, and in another area of stronger Q-vector convergence above 700mb. Moisture will be limited, but model soundings continue to show dendrite development with moisture being located within a favorable DGZ. Couple that with the instability and a few sources of broad scale lift, will be capable of generating snow showers, and some likely to demonstrate convective behavior. A peak at simulated reflectivity from CAM output hints at this, with banded snowfall like features present. With winds around 30-35 kts toward the top of the progged mixed layer, could result in snow shower bursts during the afternoon with visibility dropping below one mile for short periods of time. The background environment does provide some suggestion for snow squall potential. However, the limited moisture may prevent showers from achieving actual snow squall criteria. Mesoanalysis will be important this afternoon to watch for changing conditions. As for snowfall amounts, only a few tenths of an inch are expected. With the gusty winds, getting an accurate measurement anywhere will be very difficult. Further, daytime heating is expected to boost surface temperatures into the upper 30s and lower 40s today, promoting melting that will also limit snow accumulations. It is a bit odd to be talking about snow showers with surface temperatures forecast this warm, but their occurrence is likely given the strong forcing and instability that is expected. In periods absent of snow shower activity, pressure gradient will be quite strong with pressure falls extending southward toward Ozarks region with dCVA heading toward the Interstate 44 corridor, while a surface anticyclone attempts to develop over the High Plains. Wind gusts above 25 MPH may continue into the evening hours. The cold front eventually moves through the area late tonight, with drier air eventually brining an end to snow activity

Great way to wake up on a Friday lol. Though I was still asleep

Please let this happen lol. At least something is brewing next week it appears. 6z GEFS 0z EPS may be coming around

Pretty notable GEFS improvements

Could we get a reverse Jan 2020 rug pull?
