NORMAN, OKLAHOMA — A significant winter storm is actively impacting Norman, where heavy snow is falling at rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour, according to real-time radar and observational data. The city is positioned very close to the snow-sleet transition zone, making conditions especially volatile as slightly warmer air presses in from the…
CINCINNATI, OHIO — New late-night model data is raising serious concern for the Cincinnati metro area, where atmospheric signals are now strongly pointing toward a 12-inch-plus snowfall event, a level that would place this storm among the most significant snowstorms in Cincinnati’s recorded history if it materializes. Meteorologists analyzing the latest high-resolution guidance note that…
UNITED STATES — What currently looks quiet on radar across much of Texas is expected to change noticeably by early Friday morning, as two separate moisture streams begin converging across the state. Radar imagery this evening shows light precipitation and increasing moisture over Arizona, New Mexico, and northern Mexico, while a developing moisture plume is…
UNITED STATES — A brief break from winter chill is coming to an abrupt end as cold Arctic air surges back across the Appalachians, spreading rapidly into the Ohio Valley, Mid-Atlantic, and much of the Eastern United States. New temperature-change analysis shows widespread 24-hour drops of 10 to 30 degrees, driven by a strong Arctic…
UNITED STATES — Satellite analysis from GOES nighttime microphysics imagery shows low-level atmospheric saturation spreading into East Texas, while upper-level cloud cover continues streaming across the Southern Plains. The evolving cloud structure points toward a thickening overcast, reduced radiational cooling overnight, and the potential for damp, gray conditions to expand eastward. What the Satellite Imagery…
UNITED STATES — A dangerous stretch of Arctic cold is locking in across the Texas Panhandle and Oklahoma Panhandle, with high temperatures staying below freezing from Friday through the weekend and wind chill values plunging well below zero during the morning hours. Forecast data from the National Weather Service shows Saturday shaping up as the…
UNITED STATES — New dropsonde ingestion data from the latest 00Z model suites shows a clear imbalance in how upstream atmospheric observations were absorbed by major forecast models overnight, setting the stage for short-term forecast uncertainty across the United States. While the GFS successfully ingested all 12 dropsondes, the NAM captured only two, leaving notable…
UNITED STATES — A critical weather reconnaissance mission is underway over the Pacific Ocean, while a completed dropsonde mission over the Gulf of Mexico has already fed fresh atmospheric data into major U.S. forecast models. The staggered data availability is creating short-term forecast differences between models and could significantly affect how upcoming storm systems are…
UNITED STATES — A high-impact winter storm is now less than 36 hours away, and confidence is increasing that a dangerous combination of heavy snow, significant ice accumulation, and prolonged travel disruptions will impact a large portion of the south-central United States from Friday into early next week. Multiple weather models and official updates show…
United States — The latest forecast trends show a largely steady storm track across the Midwest heading into the weekend, though meteorologists caution that some late shifts are still possible as the system approaches. Current guidance suggests lighter snowfall for northern Illinois, with moderate totals across central Illinois and potentially heavy snow across southern Illinois,…
