Winter Storm Warning for us. Again. On Valentine's Day. Enough already, bring me spring. Here's Bill Meck's post from this morning.
Feb 14..7:45 am
Happy Valentine's Day...snow lovers may be the happiest of all by the time President's Day is done.
The Clipper is in central Missouri this morning and heading into west Tennessee. Snow has broken out as far to the east as southern Illinois. The surface low is only one part of this equation as the very strong upper level low looks to do most of the dirty work here and it’s not crossing the area until later tonight and tomorrow.
We're letting the initial 3-6" snow across the area ride. The larger numbers will be in the northern and western halves of the area while the lesser amounts are more likely south and east. Where some banding may occur (and it's still even too early to pinpoint that) there will be some 8″ or so lollipops. The WRF is likely overdone on it's overall moisture output, which is now above .5" for some of liquid equivalent. With that said, the -10 isotherm at 850 mb (mile or so up) is passing right through us tomorrow which indicates a high likelihood of 20:1 or better ratio snowfall.
Some light snow is possible late this afternoon, but now an early evening arrival is more likely. The heaviest looks to be late tonight through midday tomorrow with snow showers lasting into Tuesday.
So it looks interesting for us...so sit back and enjoy...and we're off to soccer.
Interesting definition at 1:15 of this clip.
