❄️☃️ Turkey Day Trouble

A winter storm looks set to unfold across the Southern Plains late this week.

For some areas on the Central and Southern Plains, Black Friday will need to be renamed Snow Friday as a strong storm system looks set to bring heavy snow. Right now, models are zero’ing in on the Texas Panhandle and Eastern New Mexico — but there is a fair bit of spread and forecasts will likely change dramatically.

A look at various snowfall solutions from three different models.

Snow seems likely: It certainly looks like snow will occur starting sometime on Thanksgiving and last all the way into perhaps Saturday as a slow-moving storm system works its way through the region.

• As of right now, models are in agreement on the heaviest snowfall occurring somewhere in the Texas Panhandle into Eastern New Mexico.

• Some models do extend snow into SW Kansas and Western Oklahoma.

• Totals are on the moderate/heavy side. The NBM shows a local bullseye of 7” or so, which is probably more in line with reality vs. heavier totals seen on the GFS and Euro.
