.LONG TERM... (Tuesday Night through Sunday) Issued at 318 AM CST Mon Mar 7 2022 Westerly flow aloft will be disturbed briefly by a shortwave passing over the region Tuesday night into Wednesday. At the surface a low will push through the lower Mississippi Valley, but it and it`s precipitation will stay far south of the forecast area. A longwave trough will swing into the western CONUS on Wednesday, strengthening as it digs into the Four Corners region by Thursday. This will back winds aloft to the southwest over the mid-Mississippi Valley Thursday. At the surface a low will form near the Oklahoma-Texas panhandles Wednesday night, moving northeast into the mid- Mississippi Valley by Thursday night. As the surface low is moving northeast through the forecast area Thursday night into Friday, the positively tilted mid-level trough will quickly zip from the desert Southwest into the Kansas-Oklahoma area, placing the forecast area within the entrance region of the mid-level jet. Precipitation is expected to form north of the low as it marches through the region Thursday night and Friday, aided by the mid-level dynamic lift. Precipitation is expected to fall on the north side of the low. The WPC Cluster Analysis is showing good agreement in precipitation falling across the forecast area, 86% of the ensemble members show 0.25" of liquid equivalent precipitation falling Friday. Temperatures on the north side of the surface low are expected to be below freezing, so confidence is modest that precipitation will fall as snow during this period. Surface temperatures remain an area of uncertainty, as highs on Friday are showing a 10 degree temperature spread between the 25-75th percentiles and crosses the freezing line for areas along and north of I-70. Almost all of the GEFS and ECMWF members show accumulating snowfall during this period. The NBM 25th percentile indicates near an inch of snow accumulation, while the 75th percentile brings most of the area near advisory criteria. Relatively warm surface temperatures and a high sun angle will help to mitigate the impact from this snowfall. Temperatures will plummet briefly behind this system as cold, arctic air surges into the region. Low temperatures next weekend will be 15- 20 degrees below normal for this time of year. MRM

I'm sure I probably missed it in the March thread but just saw the SREF is on pivotal now

Yeah, @NKYSnowLover posted it awhile back.

I don't know what this mean for the future of the SREF Tracker.  I'm not liking the competition.

Latest comparison of the Big 3. I'll take any of these with the knowledge that it'll melt two days later, lol.

*Warning, I'm not sure how accurate the snow maps are. But, I'm not sure it matters at this point. Long way to go on what we're dealing with. 

Snow totals #1-26

March 08. March 08. March 08.

I especially like, "At 4AM on March 6th, the National Weather Service issued a Winter Storm Watch for parts of Ohio, including Central Ohio. The Watch called for 5″-10″ northwest of I-71, with lesser amounts along 71 due to a predicted changeover to sleet and freezing rain and far less just to the south and east." Lol.
