AccuWeather.com - Meteo Madness | Heavy Thunderstorms Today. Maybe Some Snow Friday Night

1. The storms today along the cold front may produce hail and gusty winds. The dew points are low, so once again, the storms will be elevated in nature which typically means hail and wind will be the main impacts. We will also see storms in Kansas and Missouri and across eastern Texas. In those areas, the storms may produce large hail and strong wind gusts.
2. I did post a map below showing the snow potential for Friday night into Saturday. The GFS says no, the Euro is slower and the NAM is faster and farther south with the snow. In any case, we are looking at the potential for some wet snow, but by Sunday, it will all be gone and mild weather will return.
I do stress that the operational models in the longer range should be used with a grain of salt. They continue to be inconsistent with the storms and extent of the cold/warm air. The NAO will go slightly negative and the PNA is going negative, so we continue to get mixed signals between the operational models and the climate indices.
