Winter Weather Update: New Model Guidance!!! More Snow!!

-
        Hey Everybody, I hope you all have everything you need for the next several days because we are on track to get way more snow than we have! As of right now, making this post, I measured 1" of Snow outside my house here in West Little Rock. Now, there has been some updated images from 2 different models that I tend to study very closely. The GFS (Global Forecasting System) Weather Model is sticking to the original idea of all the heavier totals being confined to Southeast Arkansas. But Models like the NAM (North American Model), and HRRR (High Resolution Rapid Refresh) models are bringing higher totals back up into Central Arkansas. Check Below.
This is the NAM (North American Model), this is Valid out to Midnight Overnight tonight, this shows a Second Band of Snow Moving up the I-30 Corridor and into Central Arkansas. Some of these Convective Bands of Snow could be Moderate to Heavy in intensity. 
This is the NAM in between the Hours of 3am and 6am tomorrow morning. This image Shows the 3rd and final wave of Moisture punching in from the south. This will boost Snowfall totals even higher. As previously stated, some convective bands could be moderate to heavy in intensity. 
This is the HRRR (High Resolution Rapid Refresh) Weather Model, this is Valid out to Midnight Overnight tonight. Shows the exact same thing the NAM shows for this time. Shows a Second Wave of Moisture around Midnight moving into Central Arkansas.
 This is the HRRR out to 6am Tomorrow Morning. This model shows a 3rd and final wave of Moisture Punching through. This model has the brunt of the storm more Centered to East Arkansas, but does include high resolutions back into Central Arkansas. 
This Map is Courtesy of The National Weather Service in North Little Rock, Arkansas. They have a pretty decent outline of how much to expect, and where? We could be somewhere near 6" but Less than 8", or somewhere In between 6 and 8 inches of Snow here in Little Rock by time this is all said and done.

Now I do tend to Side more with the NAM Model as we go along here, and as far as Accumulations, who gets what is kind of random because we could get get up to 8" but there could be some area's with significantly more because of certain convective bands could setup and produce very high amounts of snow. But where these High Intensity Bands set up will be sortof Random. 

IF YOU DON'T HAVE TO GET OUT, DON'T. PLEASE! IF YOU CAN CALL INTO WORK, DO SO. IF YOU MUST GET OUT, PLEASE USE EXTREME CAUTION!!!

     Hey everybody, I hope everybody is having a Fantastic night so far, and I hope everybody is safe. Over the last week, I've been watching a Storm System moving through tomorrow afternoon. The Main threats will be Limited Due to the timing of day, and the level of severity will be limited due to the lack of Instability. See Below.      This is a map courtesy of the National Weather Service in North Little Rock, as you can see here the Primary Threats will be Large Hail, and Damaging Thunderstorm Winds. Tornadoes cannot be ruled out, but are not likely.  This will not be a widespread severe weather outbreak. Mainly because this will come as two waves of moisture. The first wave of showers and storms will move through early in the morning on Thursday, SOME MAY BE STRONG. So for those getting up for work, and school, be aware of this. That first Initial wave will move through and leave lingering rain behind. This will cause cooling, and stabilize the atmosphere to keep Severe

Overnight Storms

     Hey everybody, how's it going! I hope you guys are having a good day so far. I know I haven't done any weather updates recently, haven't had much going on weather wise, and I'm in the middle of a busy work week, so I just haven't had time to do anything. But I'm making time today, because we have a storm system coming in overnight tonight, and into tomorrow morning. So lets take a dive into it aye.     As far as Timing goes, It's looking like Late this Evening in Oklahoma, Later tonight in West Arkansas, and moving left to right across the state during the Overnight Hours. So for Central Arkansas 12-2AM would be a good bet, and East Arkansas 2-7AM would be a good bet.     As far as what the threats are, well mainly due solely to the timing of the night this will move in, the MAIN threats are Hail, and Damaging Straight Line Winds. At First this was expected to move in during the Evening hours, and that raised some Tornado Concern among Meteorologist,
