Latest NAM just came across to public has Valentine at around 20 inches. I also noticed the EURO heaviest has slide west and south some now near North Platte.

Nam:model 1800z
This low is pretty potent with a decent cold core....maybe some thundersnow??? =D>

Sorry about your WX guys and gals. It was 75+ and partly sunny here today (been below average lately). Headed for 80+ deg F and sunny rest of the week. On Unisys composite/sat/surface national page it looked warmer than S Florida.
Snow? Whut dat?   :twisted:

Valentine, best get some extra bread and bring in the brass monkeys. 12-18" is a good amount of snow.

Good advice, worried about power outages in these rural areas mainly for weather station going offline  ...:lol:
I've spent many days camping in mountains so have plenty of cold weather gear and backup heat sources to keep pipes thawed should it be over extended period.

EURO had the storm pegged from getgo, pretty amazing how well that model does. This was the midnight run last night. The other models are trending toward the EURO. The NAM did well too, was a little more north and east as well but with higher amounts putting Valentine near 18-20". The other American model GFS is starting to come around but was still putting a big chunk in SE South Dakota but forecasters are generally ignoring it.

Euro was a Cadillac of models when it was developed. Don't think NOAA was given the budget to develop on a similar scale, but that is IMHO. You are right about it being right on from the start. Our local weather offices nailed the storm last week too.

Think of the panic this storm would cause in the East.

I only hope (in vain I am afraid) that the 4" line for Phillips might be right. ATPT, HSI isn't even issuing us a WWA.

Just nudge that storm 50 miles south?  ;)

Wall to wall coverage as always.  Sure they will have one or more before winters over.

Yikes, the base of the trough is taking a negative tilt, certainly more spring/summer looking than the beginning of December. Hope folks that think this time of year that this can't happen........  8-[

That's what they've been saying, being such a weather nerd I should know more about what "negative tilt" means.

Aaron Tuttle is covering the storms on Facebook as they are now moving across the Oklahoma City metro.  Only low level severity, so far.

LOL, Tuttle got bored with how the weather was doing and signed off. 

The storm currently moving through here isn't rated severe.

Yeah, there has been a tornado there.  Haven't heard if any towns hit.  Tornado watch was canceled here.

Well this spring like storm is acting like one for sure. Took until 3:15AM to change over to snow. Probably lost 4" in form of rainfall.

Very much like a spring storm, yes. We had thunder/lightning last night and .87" of rain.

Turned to light snow (temporarily) before dawn.

Down here in South Texas, we're getting the kind of FROPA this morning that changes the WX from 'not too bad' into fantastic.

It had been mid 70degs recently (overnights ~60), but the RH and dewpoints were a bit sticky. This dry front blows in starting a few hours ago, and the temperature is quickly rising, and the RH/DPs are falling off a cliff.
73deg F and climbing (headed for 80+?), RH down to ~28%, dewpoint ~40deg F.
And the wind, WNW, gusts to 43.4mph, sustained ~28mph. FROPA blew the partial cloud cover away, nothing but blue skies.
Can't hardly get better than this.

Well, that explains the "big debris signature", quite the mess. I'm guessing EF3 at it's peak.

Oklahoma meteorologist Aaron Tuttle's take on the winter storm coming to much of Oklahoma:  https://aarontuttleweather.com/2018/12/04/winter-storm-what-you-want-to-know-details-and-snow-totals/  Most of the Texas panhandle is also under a winter storm watch.

Winter Storm Watch  for much of Oklahoma:
Areas Affected:
Alfalfa - Beckham - Blaine - Caddo - Canadian - Cleveland - Comanche - Cotton - Custer - Dewey - Ellis - Garfield - Garvin - Grady - Grant - Greer - Harmon - Harper - Jackson - Kay - Kingfisher - Kiowa - Lincoln - Logan - Major - McClain - Noble - Oklahoma - Payne - Pottawatomie - Roger Mills - Seminole - Stephens - Tillman - Washita - Woods - Woodward
Effective: Fri, 12/7 6:00am    Updated: Wed, 12/5 5:27pm    Urgency: Future
Expires: Sun, 12/9 12:00am    Severity:  Moderate     Certainty: Possible
 
Details:

...Winter Storm Expected Friday morning through Saturday
Evening...
...WINTER STORM WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM FRIDAY MORNING
THROUGH SATURDAY EVENING...
* WHAT...Heavy mixed precipitation possible. Total snow
accumulations of 2 to 4 inches, with locally higher amounts of
at least 6 inches. Ice accumulations up to three tenths of an
inch are possible.
* WHERE...The heavier snow accumulations will mainly be across
northern and western Oklahoma. The heavier ice accumulations
are expected to extend from southwest Oklahoma into central
Oklahoma, including Oklahoma City.
* WHEN...From Friday late morning through Saturday evening.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Power outages and tree damage are likely
across portions of the area due to the ice. Road conditions will
vary across Oklahoma and western north Texas, depending on
ground temperatures and the rate of accumulation of snow and
ice. Ice may accumulate on bridges and overpasses, even where
main roads do not freeze.

Information:

A Winter Storm Watch means there is potential for significant
snow, sleet or ice accumulations that may impact travel. Continue
to monitor the latest forecasts.
