Last couple of winters here have been very mild and dry. Not this one. And while I'm happy for the farmers who need the moisture, I'm sick to death of snow. Now it looks like we're hours away from blizzard conditions, and it's currently warm and sunny out. Gotta love the Texas Panhandle.
From Storm Search 7 Meteorologist Brian James - Good morning! Yes, it looks like we have a whopper of a storm headed into the area later today. A BLIZZARD WARNING has been issued for all of the TX & OK Panhandles. The trend in the models has been to increase the amount of moisture and the track is a little farther south. That means MORE of the High Plains will have to deal with this storm. It also means that we will get MORE snow out of it too. One computer model gives Amarillo 0.54" of melted snow. That translates to 5.4" of snow. Another computer model I just looked at gives Amarillo 1.04" of melted snow! That translates to 10.4" of snow! All the other models are somewhere in between. Throw on 25-35 mph winds and we're talking about a storm that could potentially bring our area to a standstill for a couple of days. Please finalize your plans and preparations for this storm! I will have a video forecast posted for viewing this afternoon. Stay tuned!
We're in the 12-18 inch band
