Yes, another round of snow is on the horizon. Local forecasts show snow moving in Sunday night into Monday morning. Looking at the models, =<4" is possible with this system. We'll have to see how errant the models are. Needless to say, they didn't do too shabby with our last storm. We just had a few local mets going above and beyond, then getting scared, and flopping their forecasts.
In any event, this next snowfall will threaten our all-time record for snowdepth. Eppley Field measured 26" earlier today... 1" shy of the record.
FOCUS SHIFTS TO NEXT SYSTEM THAT IS ATTM OVER THE WESTERN ROCKIES. THE SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK EAST ACROSS THE ROCKIES WITH AN INCREASE OF LOW CLOUDS EXPECTED OVER THE REGION TONIGHT AHEAD THE MAIN ENERGY. MODELS IN DECENT AGREEMENT WITH TRACK OF NEXT SYSTEM ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS. THUS HAVE USED A BLEND WITH A LEAN TOWARDS THE DRIER ETA SOLUTION. MODELS SHOW GOOD MID/UPPER LEVEL LIFT BY SUNDAY NIGHT AND HAVE INCREASED POPS TO LIKELY. THE MAIN SYSTEM MOVES QUICKLY TO THE EAST MONDAY MORNING. MAJOR CONCERN WITH SYSTEM IS ON SET OF PRECIPITATION...MESO ETA SOUNDINGS SHOWS MOIST LOW LEVELS WITH DRY MID LEVELS SUNDAY AND WITH TEMPERATURES AROUND -5C IN THE LOW LEVELS...THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR FREEZING DRIZZLE.
MAIN CONCERN IS PCPN EVENT FOR SUNDAY INTO SUNDAY NIGHT. EXPECT AT LEAST SOME PATCHY FREEZING DRIZZLE WITH STRONG SOUTHERLY FLOW THAT MAY LAST INTO SUNDAY MORNING. SHORTWAVE TROF AND COLD FRONT WILL BRING A GOOD CHANCE FOR LIGHT SNOW FROM SUNDAY AFTERNOON INTO SUNDAY EVENING, WITH GENLY 1-3 INCHES OF NEW SNOW POSSIBLE. THIS QUICK SHOT OF UPWARD VERTICAL MOTION SHOULD MOVE OUT OF OUR AREA BY 06Z MONDAY BUT MOISTURE WILL LINGER BELOW 700 MB. TEMPERATURES IN THE MOIST LAYER WILL AGAIN BE FAVORABLE FOR AT LEAST FLURRIES. SO HAVE FLURRIES MENTIONED FROM LATE SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY.
Some of the models indicate the best chance for snowfall of 4-8" will be near and just south of Lincoln, Nebraska. Of course, any change in the storm's track can provide Omaha will another good blanket of snow. Regardless, it appears that with each snowstorm we get... less and less snow falls.
...and if >31" of snow fell in two weeks, from 3 seperate snowfalls isn't enough, and with the few inches we get from this round...
ONE MORE SNOW THREAT MID WEEK: FAIRLY STRONG SHORTWAVE TROF MOVES ACROSS OUR AREA DURING THE MID PART OF THE WEEK, AND WILL NEED TO MENTION CHANCE OF LIGHT SNOW. GFS IS STRONGER THAN THE EUROPEAN MODEL AND EVEN CLOSES THE 500 MB LOW OFF AS IT MOVES OUT OF SERN NE.
Woo-hoo! I think I might start selling this snow on eBay.
