| NAM This Morning, Even Closer to Snow! »
"NAM tonight is close to snow"
Amazingly tonight the storm as predicted by the LRC months ago is right on schedule. This is a big storm, very similar to the November snowstorm, directly related to the January sleet storm, and the end of February storm. It is just amazing! The NAM tonight has come out with an even further south solution. The severe weather threat will likely be well south of our region but the snow threat is rather close. This is going to be Friday the 13th and April for crying out loud. April 13th and 14th. It will be tough, very tough for it to be cold enough, however it fits with the pattern like a glove. Remember in November when the snowstorm split the city with 20 inches southeast over Linn county and nothing at KCI? If you look at the NAM tonight this is EXACTLY what it is predicting. Will it be cold enough? And, will it be this track exactly? It will probably vary a bit, but one thing for sure it is a big storm.
More in the coming days. I am taking a few days off to visit my mom on her birthday Friday. Please stay with NBC Action News for the most accurate forecast. Brett, Jeremy, and Jeff will be tracking this storm very closely, and you know I will be adding my input even if I am in California to celebrate with my mom.

Hey Gary:
I am on Michigan on vacation, but thanks to the internet, I can read your blogs! How do you think Sunday's weather is going to be when I fly back to KCI?
Yes, your theory fits. Some might say that we have bought into your theory "hook, line and sinker," but that is OK. If we get snow, and it pans out, that is all that matters. Even if we get rain, it is still close. So far, your forecast truly has been most accurate.

Brian,
Sunday will be fine! I am flying back that day too.

Gary,
Another station really said some well not nice things about the LRC on their blog. It just shows there immaturity and not willing to listen to new ideas. They are wrong countless times over and over again. I mean they said that this cold snap would be no big deal a week and a half ago, he had a high of 60 for when highs were in the 30s. They have been forecasting a huge warm up end of the month, you are forecasting a cold spell. I wonder who is right? LOL, of course the LRC. So far its completely accurate. Kudos! and keep up the amazing work! You guys are the best in the midwest! Have a great trip Gary.

Great to see some nice soaking rains today and tonight. You guys are right on the money once again and your LRC gives you a huge advantage.
Have a safe trip and enjoy some sun, the rest of the team will have fun tracking this storm on Friday.

Joe,
Thanks Joe. I will. I hope it does snow, but not a lot because if I miss something bit I will be very sad.

Gary am i reading the GFS right. Does it have quite a bit of snow from hour 72-84. Looks like a few inches of snow maybe?

Right now it is only fantasy, we'll see if the model depictions are right on Friday.

Hey Gary, your LRC rocks the big one...As for the storm, on your 10 PM newscast you pointed the storm out going as far south as Tulsa. So if it does that. DO YOU think it would be cold enough to snow? or are you going to be reserved on that information at the moment which is totally cool with me because I know you want to be as accurate as possible. Stay Number 1!
*******
Let's see what it looks like on Friday.
