A bit of energy is going to race through our area later today. It will be the trigger to ignite severe storms in the midwest later today and tomorrow. The system will encounter warm moist air and convection will explode across the plain states.
We have been fooled by these types before. The system knows where it wants to go and will spend very little time in our vicinity before it jumps over us and heads into Kansas and Nebraska. If I lived in Kansas and Nebraska I would already be heading out to get into place for afternoon storm chasing.
Here is the affected area today:
Here is Tuesday:
The GFS model is a little too ambitious in our area with the high-elevation snow accumulations (in my opinion). I anticipate light accumulations of 1 to 3 inches by tomorrow with a dusting in the mid-elevation areas and possibly the low elevations.
