General Weather Discussion - Jan 2016

Here is GFS for tomorrow:



General 0-2 inches unless one of the snowbands really gets cranking. Also the track is favoring southern OK at the moment, exact placement won't be predictable until we see radar trends.

System this weekend is starting to look more bread and milk worthy.

Will keep this updated as we get closer to the event.

So, marathon training this weekend...

Training run tomorrow 7:00 a,m.
Sunday 7:00 a.m.

Thoughts on when system will arrive, snow either or both days? What should we expect during an outdoor run?

[Anonymous.]

I posted just above your post.

I don't know where you are talking about, but assuming OKC - cold both mornings, Saturday morning possibly snowing and likely windy.

[Anonymous.]

Also after this brief winter show tonight into tomorrow, we will focus on the 20th-21st.

Early preliminary estimates from GFS is 6-10 inches over I-44 area.

[Achilleslastand]

Well this was a dud.....

[John1744]

My friends got about 5inches by Arbuckle.

[Bill Robertson]

Latest GFS runs have the next storm dusting Eastern Oklahoma and no snow at all in the rest of the state. Similar low amounts have been consistent through the last day or so of runs. The areas that get snow just shifting some.

So is winter about over now? I saw 60s for next week.

[Bobby821]

That's what I am beginning to wonder. Looks like we are heading for a boring winter again. Sigh

[Pete]

I'm going to be very disappointed if we don't get at least one good snow.

Was the Thanksgiving ice storm not enough for you?

I would rather not have to deal with winter weather myself. It's nice when you are a kid and you get out of school, but as an adult it's mostly hassle.

[Achilleslastand]

If we have to put up with oppressive heat/drought in the summer the least the weather Gods could do was bless us with a decent snowstorm at least once a year.

Next chance of action looks to be around Feb 1.

Snow? Thunderstorms maybe?

[Easy180]

That's what she said.

[Anonymous.]

As of now the February 1-2 storm is very powerful. Current projected track is too far north for significant precipitation impact for OK at this time. However, it will be extremely cold after this storm passes.

Will keep this updated as we approach next month.

Here is a neat video of rain in Oklahoma during all of 2015.

I'm really starting to think we are not going to get a reals snowfall this season.

Weren't the last two winters pretty similar?

Just wondering when we last had a really decent accumulation.

[Outhunder]

sure doesn't seem the same around here with Venture leaving.

[FighttheGoodFight]

I will miss Venture more when tornado season comes around. The chat room is fun to be in during the storms.

That is perfectly fine with me.

We had at least two last season that had me on the tractor plowing at work at 4:00 in the morning. But we have had much worse. Those years have me threatening to move to Florida.

The big February 1-3 storm has trended south on track every single run over the last few days. Right now heavy snow cutoff is around central Kansas.

So what does this mean for Oklahoma? Heavy snow or nothing?

Latest GFS run has a couple inches in the panhandle and less the further south you go. Metro OKC is at a half inch or so.
