New Storm System

Blizzard Warnings (orange) are up from the Texas panhandle up to northeast Colorado. Winter Storm Watches and Warnings (blue and pink) are up elsewhere surrounding that up to about Peoria, Illinois.

From Reed Timmer (@reedtimmerTVN) via Twitter:


NW Oklahoma blizzard with 3 feet of snow?!?! Morning NAM model shows 3.5-4.0" water equivalent for this storm 

This snowstorm is definitely going to be worse than the one last week in some areas, so if you aren't ready to be hunkered down until at least late Monday, then you are almost out of time to go get emergency supplies.

On the warm side of the system, a slight risk of severe weather has been indicated by the SPC for today through Tuesday. The probabilities for today seem to suggest that hail will be the main risk today in north Texas, and the tornado threat looks very low.


Tomorrow's threat looks like it could be more potent, and as mentioned yesterday, it will cause problems mostly in the Gulf Coast states.


Tuesday's threat will be for areas along the east coast in South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida.
