Also we can be set for severe weather mode all through tomorrow. I will have a severe weather update this afternoon. Check Back Schrier:03-Feb-2008 17:40:56 I say that because we have some storms starting to get going in AR with hail already up to 2 inches on radar.

Midwestwx20:31-Jan-2008 05:01:22 Keep ur map the way it is? You have it to far south! Well ur first map. You need to rise the 10 inch band to northern Indiana and southern Michigan. timothy:31-Jan-2008 05:01:01 gotta watch the early next week period for another possible storm for the Midwest. This one could mean more severe weather for Missouri, Illinois, Arkansas..and snowy/mixy precip types over the Upper Midwest..But, hey we have several days to watch this possible event take shape timothy:31-Jan-2008 04:59:11 Schrier, i think u have the max snow zone depicted quite well, gotta watch the Chicago area for possible lake enhancement which could mean more than 6" of snow, otherwise it looks about right where u have the heaviest snow area Schrier:31-Jan-2008 03:47:00 Snow is falling in Texas. Schrier:31-Jan-2008 03:03:28 I will wait till morning though. I want to see how things look when I wake up then will make a new map.

Midwestwx20:31-Jan-2008 00:13:35 I don't how expierenced some of you are into models but if you don't already have it, you people should use the NCEP site. It's much more easier to understand than the other model sites. Here it is: http://www.nco.nce p.noaa.gov/pmb/nwp ara/analysis/ Midwestwx20:31-Jan-2008 00:11:20 That's much better and looks like ur going with the 18z NAM. 18z GFS is a bit furthur NW but looks like a good call. Schrier:30-Jan-2008 23:34:09 better? I moved it about 30 miles north. Going off of the NWS Midwestwx20:30-Jan-2008 23:07:26 Your 10 inches needs to be shifted much furthur north.

Oracle:30-Jan-2008 13:32:14 well winds of 25 to 30mph gusting to 40 and 50 at times. there was really hardly any snow fall but the stuff that did fall became a deadly 'sand blasting' scene.

Schrier:29-Jan-2008 03:57:15 Nice the blizzard warnings have started across the Midwest. Tomorrow is going to be a busy day.... Will probably update the snow map tomorrow morning Schrier:29-Jan-2008 03:38:05 Amen tbloomingdale:29-Jan-2008 03:35:59 Im so ready.. Im sick of snow and cold! Schrier:29-Jan-2008 02:46:19 yuck! anyone ready for upper 70s and tornadoes? lol weatherinkc:29-Jan-2008 02:44:13 56 degrees here in Kansas City at 8:45PM, This time tomorrow we will be well into the single digits with blowing snow. Schrier:29-Jan-2008 01:36:30 at 7:35 p.m it is 45 degrees in Cumberland Iowa....sad to think that this time tomorrow we very well may be below zero... Schrier:28-Jan-2008 23:07:18 Moparman...can we PLEASE trade places?! haha. I dont want to be in Iowa this week. I was really enjoying the weather today. We ALMOST hit 60! moparman:28-Jan-2008 22:49:34 i'm just happy that down here in oklahoma, its not getting bad. dherrstrom:28-Jan-2008 22:24:33 DMX issues Blowing Snow Advisory for the northern 1/2 of its area (along & north of US 30) timothy:28-Jan-2008 22:00:18 looks pretty dangerous around the Dakotas, MN, WI, IA..spreading from NW-SE thru Tuesday. Blizzard conditions for some, all of us should see a period of snow..2 inches or less, but parts of WI could see more tbloomingdale:28-Jan-2008 21:00:04 multi post. guess dherrstrom and I were thinking alike. Posted at the same time. tbloomingdale:28-Jan-2008 20:55:06 NOAA LaCrosse, WI is saying 2-6 inches of snow with winds 20-30 and gusts to 40 mph. Saying white out or blizzard like conditions likely. dherrstrom:28-Jan-2008 20:53:55 ARX issues Winter Storm Watch from Tuesday Morning until Tuesday night for parts of Iowa, Minnesota, & Wisconsin..2-6&quo t; possible, winds 20-30 MPH, gusting over 40MPH leading to blowing/drifting and blizzard like conditions tbloomingdale:28-Jan-2008 20:53:03 Some Snow advisories and Winterstorm watches being issued. More may to come or upagraded. futureinweather:28-Jan-2008 16:54:31 looks like we are supposed to get some snow and rain in the midwest dherrstrom:28-Jan-2008 16:36:41 Still only looking like 1-2" but sounds like concern about visibilities due to blowing snow.. dherrstrom:28-Jan-2008 16:34:51 WFO La Crosse suggesting Winter Storm Warnings/Winter Weather Advisorys possible for tomorrow if forecast confidence increases.. dherrstrom:28-Jan-2008 07:02:10 Which program are you guys using again? timothy:28-Jan-2008 05:26:16 also, although very far out, but worth mentioning, another large storm for the Midwest/Great Lakes from Feb. 3rd-5th, this one COULD be a beast! timothy:28-Jan-2008 05:24:41 the Monday/Tuesday system doesn't impress me too much (but that's just me), besides the return of all the arctic cold/bitter wind chills and strong NW winds behind the arctic front, i don't think anyone will see more than 2-3" of snow..I'm watching the mid/late week storm taking shape across the Southern Plains, this could hold more of a snow threat for parts of the Midwest/Great Lakes. skyspotter421:28-Jan-2008 00:48:02 Very nice weather today Today high 50, I like these weather Schrier:27-Jan-2008 13:49:58 Monday into Tuesday... timothy:27-Jan-2008 13:22:10 I think he was referring to the late week system, but correct me if i'm wrong? One key thing to watch will be the arctic air though and how far south it pushes, it could surpress the storm from coming up this way..But, it's definately a system to watch this week dherrstrom:27-Jan-2008 06:17:16 timeframe? Schrier:26-Jan-2008 20:20:34 WOW looks like a major winter storm to inpact areas from Iowa to Canada to the Great Lakes. Going to have to watch this one. Every new run of the GFS makes the storm look larger. Midwestwx20:26-Jan-2008 06:29:59 Later next week gonna be interesting but prehaps close. A trough will be developing in the sw next Wednesday and dig into the southern Plains late next week. 00z GFS tracks it across the TN valleys but it may end up furthur NW much like we been seeing all winter. This system bears watching as it as potential to effect Iowa, Wisconsin and Illinois. Schrier:25-Jan-2008 18:57:16 was just reading the latest on the storm system in the south and parts of Northern LA and southern AR will have freezing rain rates of .1. Up to a half inch of ice is possible. Schrier:25-Jan-2008 18:47:55 hmm that is interesting. Actually puts the svr wx risk over much of the Southeast...could get interesting... I am looking forward to this weekends weather! Finally going to be above freezing! dherrstrom:25-Jan-2008 15:53:42 SPC DY4-8 Outlook shows severe possible Jan 31-Feb1 around the Gulf Coast..may want to keep an eye on it... Schrier:24-Jan-2008 23:29:46 I have to admit... I just now found out that on the Texas road conditions map that you can click on an area and it zooms in. And it really does zoom in a LONG ways. I just zoomed in on a town in Western Texas that had roads 100% covered. You can find these maps on the top left hand side of the page. We have road condition maps for all 14 midwest skywarn states. Schrier:24-Jan-2008 23:20:39 What part of Iowa are you from? Parts of Western and Northern Iowa will see some light snow tonight into tomorrow morning. Snow totals are going to be light with 2 inches being the max. I would say a line from about Omaha to Des Moines up to Mason City will have the best chance to see this snow. By the way I am from Southwest Iowa. futureinweather:24-Jan-2008 23:13:03 so i'm from midwest iowa are we supposed to be getting any snow? Schrier:24-Jan-2008 23:10:15 hey, thanks! glad you could join us here at Midwest Skywarn! futureinweather:24-Jan-2008 23:08:37 this is an awesome site Schrier:24-Jan-2008 22:47:58 Yes, the ice should stay in the Bottom half of Oklahoma. While Texas will have a different story with much of the North Central part of the state dealing with up to .5 of ice! I would take a foot of snow over ice any day. moparman:24-Jan-2008 22:40:08 i think the ICe is going to be south of tulsa. Schrier:24-Jan-2008 22:19:12 I am working on a new map... will have it out in a little while... moparman:24-Jan-2008 18:35:18 oooooo ice. me hate ice!

Schrier:23-Jan-2008 03:44:53 added a new hat to the spotter shop... check it out. Schrier:23-Jan-2008 02:34:28 Not going to be a winter storm by any means but will put a light blanket of snow of much of Western South Dakota and parts of Nebraska come tomorrow morning. . . You know what that means, more slick spots. Schrier:23-Jan-2008 01:55:57 drats just when i thought that my map was great I noticed I forgot the "less than 1 Inch mark. This arrow was to be placed in SE Nebraska and Western Iowa... sorry! skyspotter421:22-Jan-2008 23:22:21 Barney421, Cold, Cold tbloomingdale:22-Jan-2008 17:32:34 Added info on the upcoming Minnesota Skywarn Conference on the General topics forum. Schrier:22-Jan-2008 01:51:27 we only have about 1.5 inches of snow but it is still causing some grief to drivers around here. Schrier:22-Jan-2008 00:13:52 dang and I thought my .4 inch of snow was bad haha. I dont like snow. tbloomingdale:22-Jan-2008 00:12:28 5 to 7 inches of snow on the ground allready. possible 1-3 more during the later evening. tbloomingdale:22-Jan-2008 00:09:40 HEAVY SNOW WARNING issued for SE Minnesota- NE Iowa-W Wisconsin till 3am CST Oracle:21-Jan-2008 14:20:15 i'm with moparman. it's cold! dherrstrom:21-Jan-2008 08:49:32 haha... moparman:21-Jan-2008 07:39:09 anyone up for a lynching party to get jack frost? Schrier:20-Jan-2008 22:46:51 6-8 Inches may fall across portions of Northern Iowa. Midwestwx20:20-Jan-2008 22:16:54 BTW, decent LLJ will enhance snow in northern Iowa and southern Wisconsin early tommorow with a brief period of moderate snow. Main low will eject in to southern lakes tommorow night before everything clears out Tuesday. Midwestwx20:20-Jan-2008 22:13:56 Snow advisory out for MKE for 4-7 inches. LOT calling for 3-5 near border. Schrier:20-Jan-2008 22:04:52 I like the way you think! lol moparman:20-Jan-2008 21:35:24 i hate the cold. Schrier:20-Jan-2008 19:16:24 Road conditions across South Dakota are starting to get 100% covered.

Schrier:20-Jan-2008 19:09:52 well i am not going to change my map until watches/warnings are issued. That thing takes forever to make lol. Midwestwx20:20-Jan-2008 19:00:56 Best shot for those 6+ amounts will be extreme northern NEB, northern Iowa, southern MN and central/southern Wisconsin which appears to be where the best lifting will be at. Schrier:20-Jan-2008 18:56:08 Rapid City South Dakota will likely end up with more than 7 inches of snow. Anywhere in the back hills will have over 6 inches. Now in Northwest Iowa there may be some isolated 7 inch marks. James:20-Jan-2008 18:55:59 <---Is NOT looking forward to more snow. Midwestwx20:20-Jan-2008 18:54:31 There is strong LLJ to produce some 6+ amounts but what concerns me looking at 700mb flow down in the Gulf, its moving due east cutting the Gulf Moisture feeding on whats coming out of PACIFC NW. Schrier:20-Jan-2008 17:02:23 Guys/Gals check out the spotter shop we have made. It is on the homepage in the "welcome to midwest skywarn" Check it out and let me know what you think of the products and what you would like to see. mdg2fast4u:20-Jan-2008 03:18:42 The other day moparman said he does not like the snow...after today I am starting to not like the cold...

The WxMesg system still HASNT been ported to the site as I am not getting any help in doing so. I am trying hard to get it up but no such luck.

MN. Wednesday Night/Thursday.. Then let the ARCTIC express begin, argh!! dherrstrom:15-Jan-2008 22:20:18 also far Southeast MN, southwest WI dherrstrom:15-Jan-2008 22:19:40 Snow Advisory - Southwest IA, Winter Storm Watch - roughly eastern 2/3rds of IA dherrstrom:15-Jan-2008 20:07:52 Could maybe use some icons for the news posts?? dherrstrom:15-Jan-2008 20:06:01 Nope sorry.

As of now looks apx 1 inch of snow on ground and still comming down. timothy:10-Jan-2008 23:23:48 Yea i heard it tore thru the school gym, YIKES! Also, a tornado or two touched-down in the Pacific Northwest Today, that seems very odd! Schrier:10-Jan-2008 22:16:38 more reports are coming in from the tornado struck town of Caledonia Mississippi. A tornado tore apart the town around 2:15 this afternoon. There are 3 injuries that took place at the school. timothy:10-Jan-2008 20:35:43 although once we get just enuf cold air into the back side of this storm, should see a swath of accumulating snow develop This Evening/Overnight from E.Iowa to Southern/Eastern Wisconsin..Nothing here in Duluth, MN, in fact the sun is out and 30 degrees right now timothy:10-Jan-2008 20:34:00 the severe part of this storm is far worse than the winter side once again, just a real lack of cold air in place right now, plus all the deep moisture is being absorbed in the warm sector dherrstrom:10-Jan-2008 19:42:19 problem is we have both snow & severe going on Alcú:10-Jan-2008 19:26:32 So yall knew you had to change the theme page on here once again. Plus, Herrstrom's right, Activation Status need be changed now or sap for said states. dherrstrom:10-Jan-2008 18:09:46 Louisiana & Mississippi should be Status PURPLE (Active Tornado Warnings) dherrstrom:10-Jan-2008 18:09:01 Particularly Dangerous Situation (PDS) Tornado Watch 17 in effect for Western & Northern Alabama, Southeast Louisiana, Eastern Mississippi, Middle Tennessee dherrstrom:10-Jan-2008 18:07:58 Tornado Watch 16 in effect for Eastern Louisiana, Mississippi timothy:09-Jan-2008 17:20:38 lol yes come on people, it's only January and yes were still in Winter..So lets get those winter graphics out of hybernation! Last check of the models looked like we would get between 1-4" of snow here in Duluth Minnesota, that seems to be about the norm from this system, haven't checked the new models yet Today..gonna do that in a bit dherrstrom:09-Jan-2008 17:04:42 Switching back to winter weather mode given forecast..i havent seen any details on amounts though.. timothy:08-Jan-2008 23:35:55 what an outbreak of tornadoes on Monday! This is some crazy weather i tell ya, but boy it's awesome how quickly the atmosphere can change! Might wanna get the snow accumulation map dusted off, looks like a couple inches between Wednesday Night/Friday for MN Schrier:08-Jan-2008 22:32:52 Started a new thread in the forums. Found a link of the tornadoes/damage from yesterday. Schrier:08-Jan-2008 12:31:31 Radar also shows as much as 10 inches of rain in those areas also. Now that is probably not likely. Some of that is going to be hail. Schrier:08-Jan-2008 12:28:07 last night, listening to the radio there have been 3 deaths in SW MO. I am unknown if there were more. I am kind of thinking these deaths may be out of the trailer park that was hit.

Was that the only tornado to touch down so far? or is it too eary to tell? Schrier:07-Jan-2008 23:56:58 Purdy MO. It was on that cell i was just saying to watch in Barry County... mdg2fast4u:07-Jan-2008 23:56:00 Where in MO? Schrier:07-Jan-2008 23:48:46 hate to say this but isn't to funny. A mobile home park was just hit in MO Alcú:07-Jan-2008 23:42:40 *Lol* This is kind of funny because yall guys make it look as if yall have never ever seen severe storms in the beginning of a new year  ! Just remember, a few of us here *Or possibly only mean the most* are capable of seeing severe year around or anytime during a year, here it would be if air conditions are just right mdg2fast4u:07-Jan-2008 23:22:56 Looks like it is going to get very close to Springfield. moparman:07-Jan-2008 23:18:45 yeah it appears to be stronger then it was just 15-30 minutes ago. Schrier:07-Jan-2008 22:44:14 Barry County MO also just went under a tornado warning. This is the cell to watch closely. moparman:07-Jan-2008 22:33:40 Tornado warning for McDonald county MO dherrstrom:07-Jan-2008 21:07:22 Iowa raised to Red per SPC Tornado Watch #0002 dherrstrom:07-Jan-2008 20:26:22 Activation Status Changes: PURPLE - MO, RED - KS..IL, ORANGE-IA.. dherrstrom:07-Jan-2008 20:18:13 Up to date info in the chatroom.. dherrstrom:07-Jan-2008 20:04:36 SPC issues TORNADO WATCH #001 for West Central Illinois, parts of Missouri, and southeastern Kansas. dherrstrom:07-Jan-2008 19:55:08 SPC issues MCD 0015 - TORNADO WATCH LIKELY: IA/IL/MO/WI/IN dherrstrom:07-Jan-2008 19:34:17 I believe there were a couple reports of .88" hail.. moparman:07-Jan-2008 13:33:08 i'm in the northeastern part. up around Tulsa Schrier:07-Jan-2008 13:31:17 depends what side of the state. I would say the further East the better the chance. Still looks like MO for the strong winds. timothy:07-Jan-2008 13:12:00 awesome stuff man, severe t-storms in January!! Good luck to you guys who are down in Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, and Arkansas Today.

Should be interesting to see how this all develops down there on Monday. dherrstrom:06-Jan-2008 07:36:48 May want to keep an eye on the SPC given Saturday's Day 2 outlook..waiting for new Day 1..due at 7 AM CST.. Dwxtracker:05-Jan-2008 20:09:26 We are up to 60° now in Kansas City. It feels great! Still wish we had snow though.... Schrier:05-Jan-2008 16:04:23 going to be a great day today. Temperature wise. . . mdg2fast4u:05-Jan-2008 15:52:51 It is 50 degrees here is Kansas City. It is very odd, but feels great! mdg2fast4u:05-Jan-2008 15:48:31 Kansas City does too dherrstrom:05-Jan-2008 07:33:08 Des Moines has a partial list up as well ahhatch:05-Jan-2008 05:11:03 Quad cities has spotter class schedule for Feb and March 2008 up Dwxtracker:05-Jan-2008 01:26:46 Okay, sorry. I guess I should have posted it as a message. It really is an incredible storm, isn't it! Schrier:04-Jan-2008 18:40:14 thanks kraig as I was going to do the same. David, I looked at the winds this morning and there was a gust reported of 115!! That is amazing stuff. Oracle:04-Jan-2008 14:34:09 Dwxtracker I turned your message into a story as it isnt really needed as a message but good info. Please keep an eye on it for everyone here. Looks to be a fun one yet again! holaday:04-Jan-2008 02:11:32 Hey everyone I found this tornado game check it out and see how high you can get your score lol.....http://www .killsometime.com/ Games/Game.asp?ID= 651 moparman:03-Jan-2008 15:40:25 oustanding on the severe weather in oklahoma, i've been gettin the feeling of hopelessness without my OK severe weather fix.  timothy:03-Jan-2008 05:19:49 and the new 00z GFS model run Tonight has changed somewhat, not unusual for that to happen this far out. Still appears that the Southern Plains could be at risk for severe weather early-mid part of next week. Not sure what to make of the low the GFS shows that bombs out as it tracks from the Southern Plains to Lake Superior Wednesday-Thursday next week, this is certainly a new development, so i'm not really buying into yet. timothy:03-Jan-2008 05:17:56 cool, ya i've never used BUFKIT b4, but i have heard about it Schrier:02-Jan-2008 23:15:28 BUFKIT is a good program to use also. A little hard to understand at first but you catch on fast. Schrier:02-Jan-2008 23:07:44 umm no I use software that KETV uses out of Omaha. So my forecasts are very identical of theirs.... timothy:02-Jan-2008 22:45:12 not sure if u look at the HPC or not, but they have the surface low over Eastern Wisconsin late Tuesday/Wednesday, whereas the 12z GFS has the low over W. MN, let the model differences begin-lol timothy:02-Jan-2008 22:43:34 well it could happen though Schrier, you never know with storms this far out. And this will definately be another fun storm to watch, that's for sure!! Schrier:02-Jan-2008 22:16:15 Look out Jan 7-8 for severe weather across Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas. This will probably just be large hail events but it is still unclear right now. Schrier:02-Jan-2008 22:12:51 I didn't say that was going to happen Tim. . . I said the GFS was "showing" ; that much. It is WAY to far off to even pick a spot for this storm. With this storm system there is GOING to be svr wx across the South while on the north end there WILL be snow. That is pretty much a given at this point. This is ALL from the GFS. Going to be another fun one to track lol! timothy:02-Jan-2008 20:21:48 and just to add one last thing, i really would start watching this storm closely for early next week. It's incredible what the 12z GFS model run is showing from Today, 850 mb winds/500 mb winds greater than 55 KNOTS, dewpoints rising up into the 50s, as far north as Eastern Minnesota/Wisconsi n, a potent surface low tracking N-NE out of Colorado. This has the makings of turning into a January severe weather outbreak next Monday/Tuesday across the Central Plains, possibly even into Illinois, Iowa, and Southern Minnesota/Southern Wisconsin area? timothy:02-Jan-2008 20:08:01 Schrier, i doubt very much that Missouri is gonna get 10-12" of snow with this possible storm early next week. The 850 mb temps are up to +12 degrees c, making it a certainty that what-ever falls would be rain down in that area, i'd be more concerned about possible severe weather in MO than snow, unless something changes in the coming days, which is possible.. mdg2fast4u:02-Jan-2008 20:06:34 Schrier what part of MO? Schrier:02-Jan-2008 18:38:28 Latest GFS run shows maybe 10-12 inches of snow in MO. moparman:02-Jan-2008 02:29:32 like dh said just intime for spring semester dherrstrom:01-Jan-2008 23:39:11 Right in time for the start of my semester lmao. Schrier:01-Jan-2008 23:32:25 anyone see the big storm forecasted to impact the midwest come next monday? timothy:01-Jan-2008 13:23:34 i still see a pretty nice warm-up though across the Plains/Upper Midwest later this week, this weekend. Possibly even some severe weather across the Southcentral Plains later this weekend, weather pattern looks to be getn pretty active with a nice SW flow aloft developing by this weekend. Could get interesting timothy:01-Jan-2008 13:22:02 HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYONE! Yea i'm missing the warm weather too, the arctic air has arrived up here in Minnesota, temps below zero, wind chills between 15 below and 30 below zero This Morning! Schrier:01-Jan-2008 06:26:25 Have a happy and safe new year! Schrier:01-Jan-2008 00:46:16 I am really starting to miss the warm weather. Alcú:30-Dec-2007 01:44:38 Merry/Happy Late Christmas people! *hehe* Nothing major has been going on around here except for the fact that this is the time that the temperature keeps going up and down everyday with all these cold and warm boundaries which can really make people sick around here  .Schrier:29-Dec-2007 13:24:53 i agree. timothy:28-Dec-2007 21:58:41 i don't see much of anything happening later this weekend/early next week, there is gonna be LP tracking E thru the Upper Midwest/Great Lakes, but hardly any moisture return with it, so besides some light snow/flurries, i think the bigger story will be the blast of very cold temps/gusty N-NW winds behind the low pressure system Midwestwx20:28-Dec-2007 02:23:35 00z NAM is out and looks wetter for NE Illinois and Michigan. GRR is the hot spot for 6+ timothy:27-Dec-2007 23:16:26 yea looks like general adv. type snow amounts with this system passing thru the Plains/Great Lakes Tonight/Friday Evening. Still be careful though as i'm sure roads will be snow covered/slippery once the snow gets going.. tbloomingdale:27-Dec-2007 22:34:12 See that the stated winterstorm watches have been downgraded to Snow Advisories. tbloomingdale:27-Dec-2007 17:25:26 Flood Warnings issued for 3 counties in Western IL due to ice jams. tbloomingdale:27-Dec-2007 17:23:38 Snow Adv. issued for Southern WI-Eastern WI tbloomingdale:27-Dec-2007 17:21:51 Winterstorm Watch issued for Eastern IA-Westnern IL-Northern IL Schrier:26-Dec-2007 14:23:18 8 inches of snow is possible across Western Kansas. Looks like it will not be as strong when it moves East but will still put down 2-5 inches for many. timothy:26-Dec-2007 13:49:08 keep an eye on the lake effect snow threat here in Duluth, MN Today, last time we saw this happen we had about 17" of snow in 6 hours time, pretty similar set-up here Today, although temps aren't quite as cold as what were in place in the early December setup, but nontheless it's something that needs close monitoring. Already seeing some snow showers offshore right now (7:47 AM CST), E-NE surface wind already in place dherrstrom:26-Dec-2007 05:25:34 I saw pieces of that while I was at the FD.. Schrier:26-Dec-2007 04:02:01 LMAO I just got done watching the show called Tornado Hunters. These guys are well let me put it this way... CRAZY!

Im stuck at work. bummer Schrier:25-Dec-2007 14:30:42 Happy Holidays! Midwestwx20:25-Dec-2007 05:05:34 Merry Christmas everyone have a great christmas! Midwestwx20:25-Dec-2007 04:50:51 00z NAM is deeper and stronger with 500mb vorcity max at 54hr but then gets crushed due to a +EPO (flat pacific jet and kicker out in pacific NW) There is no closed 850mb low or strong CAA so therefore don't expect this to be a major storm Friday for Midwest/Great Lakes. Could see 1-3 inches for Neberaska/Iowa and strengthens as it becomes more neg tilted across the lower Great Lakes I'd say later Friday or early Saturday (not sure exact timing, it will be critical) with potential ADVISORY type snows for most of Wisconsin, extreme northern Illinois and Michigan (based on 00z GFS 12/25/07) Will see. Time will tell. Schrier:25-Dec-2007 01:35:30 Remember what happend last time we said this storm looks weak. I am not going to under estimate this one either. Going to get grey hairs trying to forecast this one also. Midwestwx20:25-Dec-2007 01:14:17 Storm Friday/Saturday looks fast and weak. 18z GFS is weaker but 18z NAM is deeper but looks quite moisture starved. will see. Schrier:25-Dec-2007 00:02:48 I haven't used it for a long time. Also working on some stuff for the site with it.... Oracle:24-Dec-2007 23:47:43 what do you need VersaCAD for? lol Schrier:24-Dec-2007 23:22:21 is anyone good with VersaCAD? Schrier:24-Dec-2007 17:12:32 Black hills are going to wake up to a fresh blanket of snow Christmas morning. Schrier:24-Dec-2007 16:22:18 lol kraig did that. It is pretty sweet. Maybe I can catch santa this year... holaday:24-Dec-2007 15:52:16 YAY! I just hope this storm doesn't prevent me from getting there..that would not be good if it did. BTW, I love the Santa Claus Alert. LOL Schrier:24-Dec-2007 15:41:50 yup. looks like Kyle will have something to track when he goes to WOWT this Friday..... Should have went to KETV with me haha. Midwestwx20:24-Dec-2007 15:13:03 Yes but more widespread and furthur east. This looks like a good ole Omaha to Detroit snow-event. Will see. Schrier:24-Dec-2007 14:02:20 Looks to be in the same area as our storm from yesterday. Midwestwx20:24-Dec-2007 13:13:56 Some morning afd's. A potential winter storm is possible for the GL Friday/Saturday. This bears watching as each model runs get stronger and stronger. 06z GFS showing decent snowstorm in Iowa, Wisconsin and Michigan.

Still best shot for biggest snows will be northeast Mo where it snows longer with potential isolated 12 inch amounts. timothy:22-Dec-2007 06:00:24 i see, yea i guess it would all depend what time u work at? Shouldn't be any problems in the morning, beside the fog which can be bad. But the snow and blowing snow should hold off til Saturday Afternoon/Evening down in that area, it could get downright nasty at that time dherrstrom:22-Dec-2007 05:29:31 work is about 40 minutes southeast of me (assuming *good* roads & traffic) dherrstrom:22-Dec-2007 05:28:11 central IA...about hour northwest of Des Moines.. timothy:22-Dec-2007 05:18:46 where u located? dherrstrom:22-Dec-2007 05:14:58 Hmm..wondering if I'll actually make it to work tomorrow... timothy:22-Dec-2007 04:49:54 little has changed with the 00z model runs Tonight, at least with the NAM..track looks pretty much the same as previous runs. I'm beginning to wonder though on the amount of warm air in place and how long it's gonna take for the cold air to arrive. Sitting between 33-34 here in Duluth MN at 11 PM with drizzle in liquid form! Dwxtracker:22-Dec-2007 03:23:27 updating the map about 10:30 Schrier:21-Dec-2007 23:33:53 Not so much snow from this storm. Maybe 10 inches in isolated areas. I mean ISOLATED. it's going to be the 40 mph winds that get us. Atleast there is not going to be any freezing rain. Which is a HUGE plus. timothy:21-Dec-2007 23:05:26 this storm sorta reminds me of the Halloween Mega Storm that hit from October 31st 1991 thru November 2nd 1991, that storm took a hook north from Texas to Ashland WI to Grand Marais MN. We had 36" of total snow from that storm here in Duluth, MN. I'll never forget that storm. This storm is somewhat similar to that one, but it's on a more easterly track right now.. Still looking like around 4-6" of snow here in Duluth, MN Schrier:21-Dec-2007 21:41:37 Ah I dont care. There is your blizzard warning folks! Schrier:21-Dec-2007 21:40:21 hmmmm lol shuts mouth... haha timothy:21-Dec-2007 21:08:24 i see that the 18z NAM also shifted the LP track slightly more to the west compared to the 12z run. 18z run has it passing near Green Bay WI to near Marquette MI. Still wanna see it back west another 75 miles or so for Duluth to get real heavy snow, but i don't think it'll back up that much, but who knows.. Midwestwx20:21-Dec-2007 20:53:25 18z NAM is stronger. Southern storm is stronger and rapidly intensifies into the northern stream. Wow. Could see over a foot if that verifies for eastern Iowa/NW Illinois and Wisconsin. Stay tuned. timothy:21-Dec-2007 20:44:42 very cool lookn' water vapor satellite This Afternoon. You can clearly see the two strong pieces of energy which will be merging into one and forming the storm this weekend timothy:21-Dec-2007 20:41:44 still think a low track into Lake Michigan seems pretty likely right now, one thing i would be concerned about though is the amount of warm air in place, this could ultimately lead to a farther W-NW storm track this weekend, also keep an eye on how deep the surface low may get, sometimes that can also cause a more W-NW storm track. Early thinking for me here in Duluth, MN is about 4-6 inches between Tonight and Sunday Midwestwx20:21-Dec-2007 19:36:27 12z UKMET is out and it looks much wetter and slower with southern wave. Heaviest precip focused in Wisconsin and Illinois in a narrow band. Midwestwx20:21-Dec-2007 16:52:04 Day 6 Lakes cutter. Looks more promising. Dwxtracker:21-Dec-2007 14:28:14 Updated snow accumulations map. Dwxtracker:21-Dec-2007 13:50:29 Snow and Blowing snow advisory for Kansas and Missouri for 3-5" of snow. I am still sticking to the low end for Eastern Kansas and Western Missouri. timothy:21-Dec-2007 13:39:23 *Winter Storm Watch* posted for NE Minnesota, including Duluth MN for Saturday Afternoon-Sunday A.M. Very curious to see what the 12z models show This Morning. Your right Schrier about everyone having an opinion about this storm, but that's what makes it fun and interesting Schrier:21-Dec-2007 12:52:13 If Omaha Nebraska is to get 1-3 inches then I think I am pretty sure that Central and Eastern Iowa will get their 6 inches sinceOmaha is on the edge of this storm... Schrier:21-Dec-2007 12:45:18 Latest from KETV shows Blizzard or Blizzard like conditions between Des Moines and CR to the south. 6+ inches. Sounds like everyone has their own opinion on this storm. . . timothy:21-Dec-2007 06:30:04 the GFS has been farther SE with the storm track all along, while the ECM/NAM have been farther NW with the track. I'm thinking a track from Missouri up to Lake Michigan seems like a pretty good bet right now, but the 12z and 00z model runs that come out Friday will hopefully clear things up! Wisconsin and Northern Illinois is still the area i'd watch for heavier snow based off the 00z models from late Tonight. Yes, there could very well be blizzard conditions over parts of IA, but i don't think actual snow amounts would be greater than 3 or 4 inches, but the winds and blowing/drifting snow could make for some real dangerous travel in IA Saturday-early Sunday Dwxtracker:21-Dec-2007 05:52:11 Wow this fog is becoming really widespread! All the way from the gulf to Minnesota! Dwxtracker:21-Dec-2007 04:55:39 I wouldn't go as far as blizzard warnings, but there will be blowing snow. I think the heavies snow will be in IL and WI, not in MO or IA. I am going to hold off on making any accumulation maps until tomorrow. I don't think anyone really has a good hold on this storm yet. There hasn't really been a consistent trends, except for the snow in IL. Midwestwx20:21-Dec-2007 04:47:09 00z GFS furthur SE and a stronger southern low. Looks good for Chicago/MKE. Schrier:21-Dec-2007 04:24:31 Kriag: We should probably go purple for IA and MO. . . I have a feeling blizzard warnings may be issued for these areas. If you plan to travel in Central/Eastern Iowa and norhtern Missouri please do so early as this storm is starting to show signs that it will be a blizzard for near blizzard contions with 8+ inches possible in many locations. Stay tuned for more updates. dherrstrom:21-Dec-2007 00:47:07 I'm hanging out in there...Erick is as well Midwestwx20:21-Dec-2007 00:34:22 Chat still on? dherrstrom:21-Dec-2007 00:10:02 jump in the chat for additional information dherrstrom:21-Dec-2007 00:09:44 towing bans in effect for sections of the interstate in central Iowa. dherrstrom:21-Dec-2007 00:03:18 Several travel advisorys have been issued for eastern Iowa.. dherrstrom:21-Dec-2007 00:00:33 most areas reporting visibility under 5 miles, some stating even less than 1/4th miles. dherrstrom:20-Dec-2007 23:59:54 Dense Fog Advisory continues for central/eastern Iowa in effect..numerous accidents in the DSM Metro..multi-car accident NW 18th & NW Irvindale in Ankeny.. Schrier:20-Dec-2007 23:52:02 thankfully someone else has the same idea as me! haha midwestwx20 I think I will just go ahead and make some before tomorrow though. Midwestwx20:20-Dec-2007 23:50:32 I suggest you wait. Storm is still way out west and NAM/GFS have different solution. Schrier:20-Dec-2007 23:46:02 I am debating on whether to do the snow maps yet. I am afraid if I do them already I will end up doing them again in 6 hours haha. Schrier:20-Dec-2007 23:43:07 Midwestwx20: Our forecast is ALWAYS dependent on what happens to our south. If it ends up raining to the south of this storm system it is GOING to rob the moisture. Words from OAX. Midwestwx20:20-Dec-2007 23:20:26 Storm is currently in CA. As it tracks into the Plains tommorow there will be much better data air sampled into this storm. Will see tonight. Midwestwx20:20-Dec-2007 23:19:13 Very right Tomothy. The quicker the phasing the weaker and furthur NW it will go. The stronger the southern storm the later if phases and the furthur SE it will track and enhance the chance for a much stronger storm. That is what Tom Skilling said last night in his blog and I have been saying this for a few days now. I just have no support for a stronger and furthur SE track. Tim will tell but it's needs to be monitored because anything can happen with two jets are on the verge of phasing. Northern stream is to aggressive thus there will likely be no huge big storm timothy:20-Dec-2007 23:16:16 i would watch Wisconsin, Upper Michigan, and possibly Northwestern Illinois, if the energy can phase in time, because if it does, a strong winter storm would occur over those areas. It's gonna be an interesting system to watch. The Northern stream energy is very strong, but as that southern energy lifts NE it will eventually phase with the northern energy, but where it phases is the big ????? keep watching it, winter storms can be very tricky! Midwestwx20:20-Dec-2007 22:58:56 No that has nothing to do with it though. The northern is to powerful thus a weaker southern storm. Southern storm is what the key is. The more energy the southen storm gets the more powerful. Schrier:20-Dec-2007 22:49:15 here is what I think...all the moisture is being robbed from the south. Which is GREAT! the Southeast NEEDS the rain. dherrstrom:20-Dec-2007 22:32:14 im wondering if they're more concerned from a blowing/drifting point of view rather than outright accumulation? Midwestwx20:20-Dec-2007 22:28:55 This storm looks pathetic. To much northern-stream. Biggest snows would be in the 3-6 inch range. We need a more amplified and southern storm. Just not gonna happen with a strong northern stream cyclonic flow crushing the southern storm and developing into a closed low in Wisconsin Sunday. dherrstrom:20-Dec-2007 22:08:31 NWS Dodge City KS has a Winter Storm Watch posted from Friday evening through Saturday morning.. dherrstrom:20-Dec-2007 22:05:06 Winter Storm Watches out now from Des Moines IA & La Crosse WI.. dherrstrom:20-Dec-2007 21:06:49 me too..i live about 30-45 min from DMX and local media is only saying 1-2 inches..guess im just outside the track (i havent seen any forecast models) timothy:20-Dec-2007 21:02:13 wow, sorta surprised to see that already, seen that the forecast models remain at odds on what will happen this weekend. dherrstrom:20-Dec-2007 20:55:47 NWS Quad Cities IA/IL issues Winter Storm Watch for Saturday Afternoon through late Saturday night Dwxtracker:20-Dec-2007 20:42:52 that's weird.... I don't know what happened there in the middle Dwxtracker:20-Dec-2007 20:41:45 I am waiting for one more run before I start making any "official&quo t; forecasts for this storm. For now, I'll just say I like what I am seeing, at least for eastern Kansas and western Missouri! timothy:20-Dec-2007 20:14:28 you and me both midwestwx20, 12z NAM looks very suspicious, i haven't looked at the 12z GFS yet, but i'm gonna real soon. 12z NAM has a bit of a negative tilt to this storm on Saturday, hmmm Midwestwx20:20-Dec-2007 15:23:37 I am still not buying the 12z NAM. Schrier:20-Dec-2007 12:56:53 Wow I wish I was in LA right now. Very strong storms down there. Alcú:20-Dec-2007 06:27:58 Have a Severe T-storm warning for North Central Red River county in Northeastern TX issued 12:07 am until 12:45 am this morning. Penny size hail was detected in the storm cell there and is moving NE@45 mph. Midwestwx20:20-Dec-2007 03:38:30 I'm sorry about that. Schrier:20-Dec-2007 03:27:49 Midwestwx20: watch language please. We have young visitors. Midwestwx20:20-Dec-2007 03:03:25 00z NAM is stronger with the southern low however there is to much damn northern stream. I honestly believe will see a more organized stronger southern low like NWS Quads mentioned. tbloomingdale:20-Dec-2007 02:33:10 OK. we need meterology 101 class here on this. dherrstrom:20-Dec-2007 01:54:09 Oracle: the images are available from the NCEP Central Ops website here: http://www.nco.nce p.noaa.gov/pmb/nwp rod/analysis/..if you can correctly interpret them is up to you lol Midwestwx20:19-Dec-2007 23:26:09 NWS Quads hypes like usualy. Jets stay split and if this continues kiss the storm goodbye. Now last 2 runs of the GFS showing x-mas storm. Not even goona watch that considering a few days ago had main low this weekend in central Iowa. Whacky week ahead folks. Stay tuned! timothy:19-Dec-2007 21:19:19 the storm this weekend looks like a total BUST, doesn't look like the jet streams are gonna phase at all, so besides some meager amounts of snow/ice over the Upper Midwest late Friday/Saturday that should be about it for this one..Unless the models do a complete change in the next day Oracle:19-Dec-2007 20:22:18 share the wealth ya butt lol Schrier:19-Dec-2007 18:34:50 Ha kraig I have software from my shadow and from a meteorologist friend that sent me the main link to view all the models. Oracle:19-Dec-2007 18:21:37 where are we getting these GFS mods at where i can get in on all the big words too Schrier:19-Dec-2007 12:54:01 Right now I have my eyes set on Twin Cities, and Chicago to be impacted by this storm. Midwestwx20:19-Dec-2007 06:49:58 The 00z GFS is furthur SE with a stronger southern low. If that southern low can develop it will track along a cold front provided by the northern stream and could possibly send a big storm up the Lakes in future runs. 00z GGEM is similar but the 00z UKMET shows a split flow! timothy:19-Dec-2007 06:38:55 12z ECM is beginning to trend toward the GFS model, looks like a farther eastward storm track and also a much faster storm. Based off the latest info., i'd say W/N Missouri, Eastern Iowa, West/North Illinois, Southern/Eastcentr al Wisconsin could have a winter storm Saturday through early Sunday. Snow also looks to fall over MN, IA, NE, SD, but mainly in the Friday/Saturday time period, but amounts probably would be under 4" Schrier:19-Dec-2007 03:39:54 haha I am watching the show twister sisters and it is actually pretty funny. timothy:19-Dec-2007 02:57:19 if the northern shortwave doesn't interact with the system coming up from the Southern Plains, then yes this won't be a very big deal..But the EURO model for a good 4-5 runs now have been very consistent in phasing these two systems and generating quite the storm over the Great Lakes this weekend. Now, it's a matter of when/where the two lows merge, this could be more of a WI/Upper Michigan, and possibly E.&S. MN event Dwxtracker:19-Dec-2007 02:39:08 I am still not sold on this being a big storm. It has seemed considerably weeker on the last few runs, and I expect this trend to continue. I think the max snowfall from this storm will probably be about 6 inches somewhere in northern NE, SD, or MN area. Schrier:19-Dec-2007 00:42:46 Timothy I know exactly what you are talking about haha! I am going with North Central IA and Southern MN..... I will wake up tomorrow and it will be back to Omaha Nebraska. timothy:18-Dec-2007 23:59:37 If the EURO works out, then we will be dealing with winter storm/blizzard conditions over parts of Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Upper Michigan this weekend, again though that is a BIG IF!!! timothy:18-Dec-2007 23:58:17 trying to predict the storm this weekend is enuf to give a person gray hair! Models are all over the place with the track, GFS has been very inconsistent, EURO has been more consistent, but that could even change. The 2 seperate jet streams are really causing probs. with the forecast models..argh! Midwestwx20:18-Dec-2007 23:20:27 See folks the problem is that there is to much energy being focused on the northern stream. It is not enabling it to develop a southern low instead a wide open progressive system. Not buying it. Wait another 24 hrs to 36 hrs because remember yesterday it was in central Iowa. Alcú:18-Dec-2007 20:34:32 Eh, looks as if there is some potential for Severe weather around the eastern sections of my state and LA tomorrow through thursday. It should not be a widespread event but the storms tomorrow should be elevated with hail being main threat. thalman:18-Dec-2007 19:39:02 Although this weekends poss snowstorm is to far out yet, anyone care to "guess" where they think will be the best area for the deformation zone to set up? dherrstrom:18-Dec-2007 11:08:29 WFO Des Moines is suggesting the storm will affect its CWA late Friday into Saturday..however this may change with todays HWO which is yet to be issued.. Midwestwx20:18-Dec-2007 04:53:58 BTW, the storm that hit Chicago a few days ago well we ended up with 6-10 here with 7 where I live in Norridge, Illinois. I had a feeling the night before we were gonna get more and sure enough we did. Interesting weekend ahead. Midwestwx20:18-Dec-2007 04:52:46 Read my post in the forum for more on weekend storm. ahhatch:18-Dec-2007 04:44:17 cant wait. we havent had a good ole' snow storm for christmas in what seems like ages. Latest models do suggest a real good chance for snow in Iowa Thundercloud:18-Dec-2007 02:17:46 I got 24 inches of snow over the weekend here in Rochester Schrier:17-Dec-2007 23:53:12 A major winter storm has its eye set on the nations midsection this weekend. Looks like a white chrismas may happen afterall! Schrier:16-Dec-2007 15:25:57 hmmm it is 0 right now. Schrier:15-Dec-2007 13:03:47 wow I got more snow than any forecast was going for. I ended up with 6 inches! dherrstrom:15-Dec-2007 04:33:57 May need to do the same for Missouri.. NWS Springfield MO forecasting 5-10" possible across an area from near St. Louis to Joplin and on into Kansas and extreme NE Oklahoma.. dherrstrom:15-Dec-2007 04:29:58 Status for Kansas raised to purple per forecast from NWS Topeka Schrier:15-Dec-2007 04:05:02 snowing hard here in Southwest Iowa.

I will try to add to your update later tonight, after the new data has finished coimng out. Schrier:14-Dec-2007 00:56:47 Did a very short update. Any admins that want to add to it feel free to do so.

Oracle:13-Dec-2007 04:15:00 i think we need acto status brown coded for falling tree warning lol i hauled off over 600 pounds of tree so far and i am no where near done. dherrstrom:12-Dec-2007 00:27:11 Emergency Shelters opened in Warren & Wayne counties..also Chariton & Osceola..details coming momentarily thalman:12-Dec-2007 00:10:36 FYI- For those people who may have a cabin/house at Sun Valley Lake in NE Ringgold County, numerous trees down and power won't be restored for a minimum of 3 days. Schrier:11-Dec-2007 22:48:44 Once again we lost a lot of trees. I am not a big fan of the ice as you can tell. I am kind of worried about this next storm system moving in on Saturday and Sunday. dherrstrom:11-Dec-2007 22:38:32 James: at last check Alliant was indicating no customers without power in Des Moines county.. James:11-Dec-2007 22:25:41 So far there has not been very many power outages here in Burlington Iowa... just a few houses here and there.

Midwestwx20:09-Dec-2007 22:20:51 Get some rest! BTW, Took a look at the latest 18z GFS and looks like the main wave on Wednesday seems a bit furthur NW and wetter. BEARS watching in future runs. Schrier:09-Dec-2007 22:06:18 ugh where is the snow! Maybe Tuesday..... Thanks for all the updates this weekend Staff. I was away for most of the weekend and now I am about ready to crash and get some sleep. Stay safe out there. Midwestwx20:09-Dec-2007 17:21:30 This pattern sucks. The pattern is to damn progressive and there is a massive H in the Upper Midwest which is weakening and surpressing these wave embedded waves and eventually the main piece of energy on Wednesday. I am trying to give up. I got some freezing rain last night with a glaze of ice. It snowed for a period of time but very lightly and dry before the change over. The 12z GFS/NAM look quite ugly ecp that the 12z NAM tries to spell a period of decent snow Tuesday across the southern Lakes in a narrow band but the GFS is now much furthur SE with main low on Wednesday but doesent want to PHASE with the northern branch and just scoots east with no organized LP.

Decent lightning show going on to my north right now with the storms based right behind the boundary. Am hoping they will backbuild only enough just to clip my area in next hour or so with the front slowing forward speed as it moves through here mid this evening. bluesongoflife:22-Nov-2007 02:20:04 well it is snowing good in the qca now, some sticking but still wet. very large flakes and wet Alcú:22-Nov-2007 01:32:40 Severe storm warning issued now for Northeastern Goliad and West Central Victoria counties in my region of South Texas until 7:45p.m. Also, other Severe Storm warnings have been issued for Northeastern Hardin, South Central and Central Jasper, Northwestern Orange, and Southeastern Tyler counties in far eastern Texas until 7:45p.m. bluesongoflife:22-Nov-2007 00:58:39 we have snow but not sticking in the qca so far Schrier:22-Nov-2007 00:57:52 2 inches of snow in one hour can be expected over eastern IA, southwest WI and Northwest IL.

Schrier:21-Nov-2007 23:22:20 Maps are up. Working on the severe weather update and winter weather update. Schrier:21-Nov-2007 23:04:48 I have the severe weather maps up. I will make some new winter weather ones in a bit. Sorry for the delay as I experienced an accident on my way home which delayed me for a few hours. Alcú:21-Nov-2007 21:45:14 Also, another Severe storm warning has now been issued for Grimes and Brazos counties until 4:15p.m., due to large hail falling from a T-storm located in the border area between both counties. Alcú:21-Nov-2007 21:40:05 The warnings for both Harrison and Sabine counties will expire 4:15p.m. While the one in Northeastern Jasper county or Jasper, TX, will expire 3:45p.m. Alcú:21-Nov-2007 21:36:44 Allright now its definitely beginning to get active along the major frontal boundary plowing through the southern U.S. regions. Severe storm warnings currently in effect for Texas are out for Harrison county in the northeast and also NE Jasper and Sabine counties in the far east side of the state. mdg2fast4u:21-Nov-2007 20:03:39 It's snowing in the KC area! holaday:21-Nov-2007 19:13:17 Erick I did an update to the best of my ability...I didn't have much time but I guess it works. LOL holaday:21-Nov-2007 19:12:06 According to the Iowa DOT map...the roads here in Southwest and South Central Iowa are completly covered with mixed snow, ice, or slush..towing services are prohibited on some roads. Schrier:21-Nov-2007 19:02:19 wow the snow is really coming down. It is only sticking to the grass and cars. Alcú:21-Nov-2007 18:59:51 *Now I know where alot of you guys are atm.* Is abnormally windy here in STexas today and very warm ahead of that strong boundary alot of yall guys have already seen these past few days. I already see a definitive line of convection developing along the front right now in Eastern part of my state. I will likely be on the tail end of the line of storms, which means I will likely not see any intense wx. But of course, as what typically happens around here on the coastline, the boundary will slow down on forward speed as it nears my area and should come through by mid this evening in time for tomorrow morning where it should definitely begin to feel as a real South Texas winter * *bluesongoflife:21-Nov-2007 18:32:52 Having bouts of sleet and rain here in the QCA, streets are warm so no sticking bluesongoflife:21-Nov-2007 15:27:32 light rain in the QCA Schrier:21-Nov-2007 12:52:22 don't forget that the photo of the month is first snow and or severe weather this past year. dherrstrom:21-Nov-2007 06:26:27 weatherinkc: thanks for the heads up i'll try to get things updated dherrstrom:21-Nov-2007 06:25:02 and for those who havent checked out the SPC site Slight risk forecasted for portions of Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas for today (Wednesday) weatherinkc:21-Nov-2007 04:50:53 Hey guys I think we should probably consider upgrading Northeastern Kansas and extreme eastern Kansas, along with Northern and Extreme western Missouri to the 1-3 inch color area along with map, latest data is supporting some heavy snowfall that could accumulate in those areas even with ground temps currently at 40 degrees. dherrstrom:21-Nov-2007 00:59:38 Status bar has been updated: Dark Grey IA, IL, WI...Light Grey NE... Schrier:20-Nov-2007 20:03:12 Dan: I was thinking the same. Alan: I am the one that does ALL the maps however Kraig and Dan does the activation status. Neither were around that is why the activation status was changed. All takes time and we will try our best. dherrstrom:20-Nov-2007 19:56:24 might have to be that anyone in an area expecting severe weather changes their profile to load the normal theme..those expecting winter wx stay on the winter theme? Alcú:20-Nov-2007 19:33:55 Looks as if Oracle went to fast on the Winter Weather Mode for the place. Schrier, when you did the map for the severe wx event that happened in my state this past weekend, I did not see the page go into the Severe weather mode when you put the activation map on. So I assume the mode part should not be that difficult for you to work around with aside from the maps you will have to do for both the snow and svr tomorrow. Schrier:20-Nov-2007 18:48:31 interesting dan. Might have two sets of maps to do tomorrow then. I dont know how we are going to do the winter and severe weather mode. We will think of something. dherrstrom:20-Nov-2007 15:49:32 SPC has a Slight risk for parts of the country for tomorrow and also during the 4-8 day forecast as well... James:20-Nov-2007 15:16:45 NO!!! IM NOT READY FOR ...scuse the foul language... SNOW!!!! Alcú:20-Nov-2007 02:59:41 Ya just canot wait for the 'winter wonderland' to come to IA, Schrier? Brrr, middle 50F as daytime temp for my region of Texas on Thursday or Thanksgiving day with potentially alot of cold and wet weather after that with hopefully some winter type T-storms in the mix for here next weekend * *.Schrier:19-Nov-2007 12:57:49 Snow may begin falling as early as tonight across parts of the Dakotas and Nebrasaka. The main storm will move out across the midwest Tomorrow and Wednesday. Schrier:19-Nov-2007 03:28:30 Happy Birthday Coltan! Schrier:19-Nov-2007 02:11:33 I started a new thread in the forum. Check it out and go ahead and put your input. Schrier:18-Nov-2007 15:06:51 thanks for the updates alan as I was away from the computer for most of the night. Alcú:18-Nov-2007 07:27:27 A Few Flash Flood Warnings have been being issued for the past few hours in county areas between a line from San Antonio, TX eastward to Houston, TX in association with organized storm clusters around that region currently. No other Severe Storm/Tornado warnings have been issued through the rest of this past evening aside from the one of my last recent post. Overall, main svr threat (Aside from any heavy rainfall) has diminished around here and northeastward and should stay as that for the rest of the night except for a strengthening LLJ and possible isolated overnight activity. Am dissapointed from the pan-out of this storm event. Only saw some shower activity but nothing of any real significance here in my area of Southern Texas *  *Alcú:18-Nov-2007 00:44:57 Tornado Warning is in effect for Gonzalez, TX in Gonzalez county until 7:00pm this evening issued at 6:35pm. Alcú:17-Nov-2007 15:44:36 *Its cloudy as heck here right now already since yesterday evening!* SPC hasnt upgraded the risk line here since early this morning. It appears that with the lack of better instability especially near the ground around here because of persistent cloud cover right now, the severe could be limited later this afternoon/evening at the most. Any tornado threat is very low but wind appears to be the highest threat. Yet, hail is definitely still in the picture as well. Schrier:16-Nov-2007 19:51:52 keep us posted alan and I wil end up doing a map if needed. As for the snow I am ready for it also! If it is going to be cold why not have it snow?! holaday:16-Nov-2007 19:03:47 Well I for one am ready to see something interesting happen with the weather it has been really boring for about the past month.lol I can't wait to see our first snow! Alcú:16-Nov-2007 18:28:59 Heh, this is becoming interesting for alot of us. Most of yall guys in Iowa are going to see snow for first time of this season next week. But guess what I could possibly see for the first time this 2007 fall season and also since past spring, come this weekend, *Severe Storms!* (jeje). That storm system that was stuck out there in Baja California all this week is finally ejecting east-northeastward and should invade my state in a Sat.-Sun. timeframe. I will definitely be popping around here tomorrow evening into sunday morning as of now to report any svr that may hit my region (and southeastern parts) during that time when the system should be coming through then. Whitney:16-Nov-2007 03:35:20 Today in my meteorology class, we were looking at forecast models for next week, and they were showing that we could possibly get snow (at least in Iowa, anyway) on Thanksgiving day. However, they aren't for certain yet, as the models are predicting anything from a light drizzle to a heavy snowfall. We'll see what the coming days bring.... bluesongoflife:16-Nov-2007 02:12:42 I here snow is on the way for next week. Is there any information out there to support that weather event.

Is it spring yet? holaday:03-Nov-2007 14:42:04 After watching two winter forecasts for my area it seems that this winter is gonna be well below average snowfall and major temperature swings but more importantly one of the stations said that La Nina is notorious for a very early and extremely active severe weather season...thats something to look foreward to in spring of 2008!...LOL Alcú:02-Nov-2007 07:51:03 Schrier, it looks as if the wintry precip is moving off towards middle of next week for ya after I read your areal region's FD. Here it has been feeling as a real Southern TX fall but the big late fall-winter type fog for here has come unusually early to my region only about 2 days ago and it has been quite dense since yesterday morning for Halloween day. Otherwise, bored on Wx for now since I also have not seen any real Wx since early last week in which most of the land areas were unfortunately spared from the storms that came through before the first strong cold frontal boundary of the fall 2007 season hit on Monday morning of that week around here.

Every day pretty much. The farmers are starting to get a real headache not being able to get into the fields. We have to wait for the ground to freeze now before we can get a combine out in the muddy fields. Alcú:19-Oct-2007 23:03:21 I saw some storms go through my area very early this morning with a weak cold front that was the one that precluded the dryline that forced the severe wx in the plains earlier this week. But I had left to traveling yesterday late afternoon for the weekend and saw them on radar invading my home city around 4AM today. But it appeared the strongest ones were right offshore. Looking at the amount of CG lightning strike data on those storms that was sent to my mobile in message, it did not appear any svr happened with them which hopefully gives me a break on this until I come home sunday night ahead of the next wx maker for Texas starting next week * *.James:19-Oct-2007 19:55:47 HAHAHA!!!

Oracle:07-Oct-2007 06:34:12 Working on our new Spotter Activation Module at the moment where we cover all the states in it and where the effected states are also posted on the main page when activated plus our activation status at the top. Need people to help build this as well as other toys. Dwxtracker:07-Oct-2007 04:55:29 Could you mesh them into one map? That would make it easier to read. James:07-Oct-2007 04:30:55 Hi Derek!
