Just a few miles due east, Wheatley has a forcast of 80% Rain/Snow from the NWS in Memphis with possible accumulations tuesday night of less than 1/2 inch. NWS Little Rock makes no mention of this. I've noticed before this difference in forcasts for areas in Arkansas covered by NWS Memphis. Is this just a difference in intepretation of the models? In general, the NWS Little Rock seems a little more "conservative" (if thats the right word) than either NWS Memphis or NWS Tulsa. Just wondering....I know, I know, I need to get a life.......<br /><br /><br />Susan.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16914987.post-30629579857924914442011-01-24T10:11:59.265-06:002011-01-24T10:11:59.265-06:00Btw if we can get a little cold air sucked in tomo...Btw if we can get a little cold air sucked in tomorrow we could see some big flakes flying around along the Mississippi river. If it happens I am going with Helena 3-4 inches. It will have to snow it's butt off to get that with suface temps the way they air. Memphis may be the winner?Jason Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13705237631094286841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16914987.post-77355402779947006252011-01-24T07:57:07.667-06:002011-01-24T07:57:07.667-06:00Seems like our best snow in Northern Arkansas alwa...Seems like our best snow in Northern Arkansas always comes after the real COLD air has moved out, around the 2nd or 3rd week of February. It is so hard to get moisture up to Northern Arkansas with the kind of cold air that will be coming down by late weekend. I would just about, well I would put money on Northern Arkansas seein a good snow "4-8" anywhere from Feb 15th - March 7th. If it snows in that time frame, and it usally does, you can bet it will be big wet flakes. Severe weather season is creeping up on us. I need at least one big Winter event before that happens, is that too much ask?:-)Jason Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13705237631094286841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16914987.post-49113715396191890902011-01-23T21:09:52.337-06:002011-01-23T21:09:52.337-06:00Looks like snowbird is right on the storm to far s...Looks like snowbird is right on the storm to far south for ark to get any snow . Start watching the euro any time now trending south with the system. That arctic air will be dense an we should be just very cold but dry. We have a chance to see low teens for lows in little rock and highs in little rock in the low 30s it should be sunny though but still cold.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16914987.post-31722277069062466122011-01-23T15:13:13.137-06:002011-01-23T15:13:13.137-06:00the next 2 weeks looks very interesting in the way...the next 2 weeks looks very interesting in the way of winter weather. central and south Arkansas dont usually see this kind of pattern. maybe every fifteen to twenty years. it is nice to have it this way sometimes. i would love to see a big heavy snow that piles up inches per hour and it has been a while since we have seen great opportunities like this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16914987.post-43499558636644048172011-01-23T14:50:03.666-06:002011-01-23T14:50:03.666-06:00Great post, Todd!!

You guys were silent all day yesterday, and then suddenly, last night...twitter went crazy as the models started trending west with the storm and it was "Weather Geek Heaven" for me!!! You know how you always say that in the long range the models can show these big storms..then back off...then bring them back again. Is this one of those cases?? It seems like I remember this pattern setting up a couple of weeks ago and seeing this moisture and cold air here about this time....and then it went away. I could be wrong...but you are so right...it is fascinating to watch all of this, not matter how it turns out!! Frankly, I'm cheering for a "Japanese Rising"!!! That model is due for a verification....just saying!! Anyway...thanks as always for making weather fun! Get rid of that cold and take care of yourself!!Amynoreply@blogger.com
