It's gonna be cold, it's gonna be gray, and it's gonna last you for the rest of your life.
It obviously looks like a very interesting system. As it comes on shore late Tuesday it really acts like it wants to cutoff from everything, though there is another sharp wave right behind it that looks like it will dive in and kick the storm out of the SW and into our path before it can basically completely cutoff and ruin forecasts here.
The newest Euro shows it really beginning to wrap up and then begin to occlude a bit before it really hammers Iowa as badly as some of the earlier runs. In fact, the low is filling in rather than deepening.
The latest runs--which again don't mean a whole lot at this point because they could be totally different tonight or tomorrow morning--but they seem to look similar to a storm that is a bit past it's peak in maturity or maybe not quite in that sweet spot of dynamics. Just behaving a little too much like a cutoff system.
So I'm not ready to throw it into Blizzard for the Ages, but still looks like a significant winter storm for Iowa. Will need shovels and snowblowers, especially west central Iowa.
And yes, this forecast will change, but that is how things look to me at this point.
Aren't you in college? Have you never took a beer day. Ya know, when you sit in the bath tub all day and drink beer? Get it together.
Took a hungover day today. Would rather not take two Fridays in a row off. Profs might get suspicious.
I work with a former TV meteorologist. He says they usually go with kind of a median range as opposed to the extremes so looking at that graph I feel he'd say 5-8". But a lot of time between now and then so ya never know.
How does the track look for going a southern route to Denver. Des Moines to KC, then I-70 to Denver.

Could I get a link to this map? I can't find it. Thanx
in advance
So I have a flight scheduled Thursday night from Denver to Omaha, arriving at 10:15. Will it go as planned?
