December 25th-27th, 2022 | Plains/MW/GL/OV Potential Christmas Clipper

[BuckeyeGal]

Here we are, ladies and gentlemen. Maybe this little darling will blossom into something bigger for those folks that were missed by the epic bomb-o-ge-something we're currently dealing with. 🙂

GFS at least recognizing it now… nothing big by any means but with these temps…

Actually will use Instant Weather Maps (BTW, I've always liked their snow ratio algo)

72 hour snows at hour 90 GFS:

It be nice way to end the cold spell before warmth comes back in.

Euro dries out as it dives in. UKmet dives in without turning and eventually dies out. American models wettest. Canadian not as moist but retains some moisture in the ov. Clipper fun.

So, right now, here's what I have gotten from locals about this storm...

ILX (Lincoln NWS):  Most areas look to receive at least 1" with good potential for 2-3"

WAND (Local NBC affiliate):  "May see some isolated flurries or isolated snow shower. Not ruling it out, but not looking at any accumulation." 😂
