Blizzard To Affect Southern High Plains!

untitled untitled2What the NWS out of Norman, Oklahoma called a historically significant, unprecedented late season blizzard is due to begin affecting parts of the southern High Plains tonight.


A very dynamic system is forecasted to eject into the central part of the country, causing the potential for severe weather and tornadoes in the warm sector. However, what will probably be remembered with this system is the massive snowstorm that will be created on the low's backside. NWS offices out of Norman, Dodge City, and Amarillo (not to mention others) are sounding the alarm by putting up Winter Storm Warnings and Blizzard Warnings! QPF amounts are showing snowfall totals to perhaps exceed 30+ inches in parts of SW Kansas! Temperatures will be cold enough through Western Oklahoma and deep into the South Texas Panhandle to support all snow by Friday evening.

 

TVN will be leaving this evening for an initial target of Liberal, KS, which seems to be the sweet spot for the heaviest snow accumulations at this time. We'll be streaming this even throughout it's entirety so stay tuned!

30 inches?!? Damn that is a lot of snow!
 
 
+3 #2 WesleyL 2009-03-26 10:22
I am headed to the Liberal-Guymon area this evening. Guymon is my initial target, but I will definitely check the models this evening to pin point the best target. I want to see a 20 foot snow drift.

SINCE YESTERDAY I WAS IN A WINTER STORM WATCH--ABOUT AN HOUR AGO THE NWS UPGRADED IT TO A BLIZZARD WARNING-I KNEW WE WOULD GET A BIG SNOW STORM BEFORE IT WAS ALL SAID AND DONE--HAPPENS EVERY YEAR..SHOULD BE USED TO IT SEEING I WAS BORN AND RAISED IN NEBRASKA! I'D RATHER SEE A TORNADO WARNING THAN A BLIZZARD WARNING ANYTIME.(DAMN I HATE SCOOPING SNOW)! GOOD THING MY ASS WILL BE IN A TRACTOR!

Thats some nice maps-graphs. Anyone have a link to the NOAA site that was used to find this for my area? I've been clicking their site for 15 minutes and no luck.

Whoa! 30 inches?! That's insane! I'm glad I'm not there; I'm tired of snow now. Haven't seen a flake of the stuff in a month. Anybody who's chasing, good luck!

Where is Jeff? There is a Tornado on the ground in Muenster. Jeff is right there.
 
 
+6 #12 bholcomb 2009-03-26 14:02
No moderate in Toledo, I can guarantee Brandon. Maybe south of I-70 for Saturday.

B.Borchardt,

the NWS out of Norman last night mentioned 30+ inch snow totals that the models were putting out in SW KS

-Dave
 
 
+2 #14 matthunter 2009-03-26 15:03
Well I took my SkyWarn training yesterday, and talked with the IWX Warning System Head Meteorologist, and he said to expect a Slight or Moderate for NW Ohio and North Indiana this Saturday, but that he can't guarantee anything.

He's looking at the meso in the central plains, heading NE toward Ohio, I'm sure.

Where IS Jeff? There was a tornado right near him and he went inactive...
 
 
+3 #15 bholcomb 2009-03-26 15:07
It will be a SLGT for the CLE and IWX CWA's.... IWX's southern fringe counties might end up in a MDT, but most likely it'll be IND/ILN's CWA's that end up in the MDT, if they go MDT.

Sleet is falling (at a 45% angle) at a very fast rate here in Guymon, OK. I expect snow by midnight.

Hey guys from SW KS. I live in Satanta Kansas, halfway between Liberal and Garden City. SO I'm right in the middle of this storm. We've only gotten moderate to heavy snowfall at times. We have a heavier band rolling right now. The wind is blowing at a steady 30 to 35 with higher gusts. So I'll keep you guys informed. Later, Dru.

I just heard from Dave Holder, and as of 4:40 am CDT he just arrived at his hotel in Liberal. He reported treacherous road conditions already beginning in the OK Panhandle, with snow covering the road and falling heavily. He said he nearly lost control of the vehicle, but thankfully made it into town safe. Dave will be streaming live video of the entire event from his hotel room as well as mobile. Out of control! As far as audio in the streams, we have thought about doing that, and we already have a system capable of it.. It's just extremely difficult to moderate audio from a large number of teams. I agree it would add to the user experience in a major way though.

Wes please start streaming video for us stat, PLEASE! Dave Holder is just to your north. Stay safe out there..I'll be monitoring the warm sector closely..
