The short range guidence maybe picking up on the dry air better then the gloablas. Nice banding over @mlgamer. Topeka reporting snow.

Yeah... but there is also cold and snow way south in the central and eastern US. Tell my relatives in MN and WI about climate change right now and they would laugh at you. Its not like the entire US is torching... this is just the placement of the very cold air. Patterns get stuck sometimes.

Are those close to being record lows.

Santa Maria area where I live and Corinth, MS are at the same latitude. Massive difference in weather. Could see below zero lows this coming monday night/tuesday morning after couple days of heavy freezing rain and wintery mix in Corinth, MS. Fascinating stuff.

Does anyone have the 1z NWS Blend of Models?
