BACK TO BACK MAJOR STORMS
New model runs are in and so far the second major storm in 4 days is on track to bury the region Friday. Radar confirms snow is breaking out and entering southern Iowa at 9:20pm
Several new models are in with fresh snowfall projections. These are not forecasts, just the raw output that will aid in forecast development. All are quite significant for the majority of my area. Take a look. Much of the region is in line for 10 to potentially 18 inches of snow. Recently, models have shown a little shift south on the track. We will need to watch to see if that's a hard trend as the night continues.
The GFS (just in...)
The EURO
The 3k NAM
The HRRR
The 12k NAM
The official NWS "FORECAST" looks like this.
I noticed that the 3k and 12k NAM, show 10-meter gusts of 45-50 mph in my northern counties that are not in blizzard warnings. Not only is some of the heaviest snow expected in this area, these winds would justify a blizzard warning. I think the NWS may issue them at some point tonight if current trends hold. For what it's worth, I would.
These are the current counties under blizzard warnings in red.
Here's the storm as it's coming together on the night satellite imagery from NOAA.
This party is about to get started. It looks like a wild one. As always, use good common sense. Roll weather...TS Also, if you haven't hit the like button on the T.Swails Facebook page, please do so.
