The alphabet can be confusing at times. Especially when you have to recite it on the side of the road after a few cocktails.

Number two of a one-two punch of snowstorms is about to bear down
upon the region. Water vapor imagery shows a well defined vorticity maximum moving through the Four Corners this afternoon. This area will MOVE into the Southern Plains late tonight or early Monday morning. Models are in very good agreement taking an intense upper- level low across Arkansas and through extreme southeastern Missouri. There is also a strong clustering in the ensembles and deterministic models in taking the surface low just slightly north of the upper low track. This represents a nearly ideal path for heavy snow from southern Kansas, along the Kansas Turnpike and right into the Kansas City metro area, and possibly points northeastward. Given the strength of the system, which is nearly 5 standard deviations lower than the normal upper-level height pattern for this time of year, widespread heavy snow is likely with a large swath of at least 6 to 10 inches. Within that broad swath there will be a narrower strip with amounts likely in excess of 10 inches. Also, given the way the storm may pivot to our south during the overnight and early Tuesday time frame, we may see a period across the Kansas city area of a sustained 6 to 9 hours of 2+ inch/hr snowfall rates. Intense frontogenesis, nearly ideal snow growth with maximum omega values right around -15C and ample moisture flowing into the system via a well defined trowal, all lead to the likelihood of very intense snowfall rates and at this time, the timing looks to have a great impact on the Tuesday morning commute across the region. We could potentially see 6 to 8 inches of snow through the Kansas City metro from midnight to 6 am with several more inches added on later in the morning. Regarding the potential for mixed precipitation and/or freezing rain, BUFR soundings from around the region, and particularly from Pleasant Hill to Clinton indicate only a brief period of sleet or freezing rain before the strong dynamics of the system overwhelm the warm air advecting into the system. This will cut into snow amounts in our extreme southern/southeastern zones but overall, ice accumulations look minimal with temperatures near freezing in that area. This would tend to limit ice accumulations overall and with only a brief period of time when ice would be possible, accumulations look very minimal in our forecast area. The snow, when combined with the other aspect of this storm, strong northerly to northwesterly winds of up to 30 mph, will make travel Tuesday morning across western Missouri and eastern Kansas quite dangerous. Whiteout conditions are very possible and roads that were cleared may quickly drift over, especially with how high the snow is packed from the previous storm. Wind will blow snow over the piled snow and deposit it rather quickly on the other side. The one caveat against the significant blowing and drifting of snow is that our snow ratios will be near or slightly lower than our climatological normal of 13:1. So the snow will likely be fairly wet, as opposed to powdery, with a higher snow ratio. The intense storm system will move into the Ohio Valley by Tuesday night and conditions through the forecast area will improve from Tuesday afternoon onward. Although we will still see snow, and possibly moderate snow in northeastern Missouri later Tuesday morning, the intensity will be not nearly as strong with an inch or less expected Tuesday afternoon through Tuesday evening. Light snow will persist through the night and into the day Wednesday, but again, only minor additional accumulations, perhaps as much as inch through the day Wednesday, are expected. http://forecast.weather.gov/product....n=1&glossary=1 |

Well since you have a 'Rocky' thread you better nickname your driveway 'Adrian' that way after the storm when the wife/gf asks you were you're off to you can say you're off to plow Adrian again!

Midtown KC will be towing cars not parked on the west side of the street beginning at 9am if parked on a narrow street or a snow route.

Apparently it isn't supposed to hit Topeka until this afternoon.
I hate sounding like a selfish asshole but I am glad I am off tomorrow! |
