Here is a look at the 00z CMC.

Lots of wintry weather across the southern plains if this run is correct. More snow for central and eastern Oklahoma that on the 00z GFS...

After trending less severe (more rain than snow) for OKC most of today, it looks like the 00z GFS is starting to trend back the other way.

It is once again showing a significant snowfall for central Oklahoma up through Missouri on Tuesday...

Yellow-shaded regions indicate 6+ inch totals.

Yea, they had to cut down numerous trees. There was still debris on the ground around the city from it last year.

The last couple of GFS runs were making me think Ice Storm when all the snow disappeared, I am glad we are officially in the wait and see what the GFS does next mode.

The cold behind this storm also continues to look VERY impressive. The 12z GFS MOS is showing high temperatures of 13F in Tulsa, 14F in Oklahoma City, and 16F in Norman on Wednesday.

12z GFS for me still showing a big Ice Storm with a few inches of snow of top of it by the time it all ends. :eek:

Pro-Mets in this area are starting to use the word "crippling" Winter Storm. The COLD air behind it will make it be days for anything thaws out.

The ECMWF has also now jumped on board for a significant snowfall across the area, with the 12z run showing QPF values in excess of 0.85" (and perhaps as much as almost 1.00") falling on OKC in a below freezing airmass. And with thicknesses falling below 530 and 850mb temperature falling below -10C, it is likely that by the end of the event, some of the snow ratios could be as high as 15:1 or 20:1, which would be pretty impressive.

I am glad that the models have finally come together with some sort of consensus. If this verifies OKC could have some nasty travel weather on Tuesday. Hope the 18z comes in with a stronger trend towards accumulating snow.

Yeah, the 18z NAM is crazy. 12+ inches for a good chunk of SE and E Oklahoma.

Not so great for OKC though, just a few inches here..

A look at the very impressive 00z NAM...

The maps below are valid 6am Tuesday morning, at which point the event should be well underway if the NAM is correct:

And here is a look at the total snow accumulations, which are absolutely insane:

Yellow areas indicate 6"+, red areas indicate 12"+, and that small purple dot in NE Oklahoma indicates 24"+!!!

Yea, NAM is still on steroids. I wondered if the 18z was a fluke run, but it looks like it wasn't. Bring on the snow! :D
