Something North Platte NWS put out in forecaster discussion this afternoon.

: This system has the potential to be one of the stronger storms in the last 10 years or so - with very deep surface low pressure and abundant moisture resulting in very strong winds and heavy precipitation. Please monitor the latest forecast information.
Wow, I just read your AFD. Taking a negative tilt, progged to drop to 972mb (that's 28.70" inHg :shock:). This could be a very bad boy for a lot of folks....

WOW, that is very low pressure.

I just read this same from HSI AFD. I am actually happy we are just looking at rain, plus the high wind watch. I see you are not in the blizzard warning...yet.

We went into a blizzard warning overnight.
I'm not a trained meteorologist but can read models. My numbers look like minimum 7" snow backside after 6 pm, plus a period in front of 6 hours freezing rain or snow with the upper atmosphere above freezing so what falls is the big question. 
That could be bad if we get 1/2" ice before the snow kicks in around 6pm when the atmosphere is all snow. On top of this is heavy rain prior over frozen ground, flooding could occur plus wind forecast to reach 50 mph range.  It's just a big mess really.

Our local weather office has trimmed precip amounts by 1/2 inch, now in the 1-1/2" range, but as they say "if's" remain. No rivers around here to add worry about flooding. Wind is still in the forecast for us esp on Thursday.

Get your milk and tp now before the rush hits!

You are right 6 hour period of possible ice, could take the power lines down somewhere. Thanks for the reminder.  [tup]

Just happened to check my records, the last time I had a daily mean temperature above freezing was on November 2.

Lots of potential variety in our area for weather: Flash Flood Watch, Dense Fog Advisory, Winter Storm Watch, High Wind Watch.

Yes, March seems to bring it all.  We are on the warmer side of the big system and are expected to have fog, rain, snow, freezing rain and blustery conditions Wednesday and Thursday.  We still have 2 feet or more of snow on the ground, so the rain will take some of it away but also may cause flooding in some areas.

I don't know for sure, but the potential for spring flooding would seem to be high this year. Our snow is gone but frost is still coming out of the ground. Today it is 61. Have not seen that in awhile.

Be careful of that snow melt up there.

Most of the state is under a flood watch.  Street flooding in cities and towns is a real concern, and some cities are asking residents to dig out storm sewers on their streets so the flow of water from the rain and melted snow isn’t blocked.  My wife and I live on high ground out in the country, so we’ll be OK.  I hired a crew of 3 young guys the other day to rake off snow along the edge of the our roof to prevent any ice dams from forming.  I used to do it myself but it’s hard work best left to younger folks.

Article says central U.S. is about to get hit with a bomb cyclone.  So far for here just a high wind warning.  But a big line of thunderstorms now in New Mexico will be here by mid morning Wednesday.

Yes, minus the catchy name, we spoke of it yesterday.

Well, if the ice alone doesn't bring'em down, sure looks like the wind will help. Wed. 18Z, those isobars are getting mighty tight.

Randy, Pressure 29.16 falling here at 8:43 cdt.

Just .62" since midnight. But water standing in some places.

Be careful of this one. You will really be under the gun.

Thanks will do, 29.33 currently and been solid rain since about 4am  .75" so far, much more to come before snow kicks in around 4pm.

I've added a new tool called "The Rain Stake"

My records for barometric pressure only go back 15 years, but this morning Cumulus told me I had a new record.  The Altimeter pressure hit a low of 29.124 inches at 7:54 this morning.  It is up to 29.174 now.  It has been snowing since 3:45 this morning.  At 7 am, when I took my CoCo readings, snow board was at 0.7" and Davis rain collector w/heater read 0.05" of rain.  Haven't ventured out to check snow board, but Davis is currently reading 0.48" of rain for the day.

Hey Randy, if you get your waders on to go check the "Rain Stake", could you tell me how far it is from the 3 Ft reading to the top point on the snowflake? :lol:  If it doesn't quit snowing soon, I am going to lose my Snow Stake.

Pressure 28.91, still falling slowly. Not a personal record, having been in a major typhoon in '56. But still pretty low.

Spent most of the day in partly cloudy  conditions with the dry slot, but that is ending now.

Nice looks like here right now.  [tup]
Mark I'm in waders for sure. The snow is piling up now might not need them soon, I was at my neighbors and there 100x60' huge garage is flooded because of the frozen ground and water. Its a mess inside with carpet, furniture they had stored all wet.

The roads in Nebraska are currently under siege.  This map tells the tale.

They've pulled all of the plows off the road in Nebraska's panhandle (scroll and zoom to see)!

I don't think I've ever seen doppler wind returns like this in the absence of a tropical system before. Wow.

The light blue and orange depict 60-70mph sustained.
