Please don't count on a bunch of ❄️ Thursday. Your going to likely be disappointed. I don't care what your apps may say or not say. I hasn't looked like a lot of snow for 36+ hours as I've mentioned + written about for the last 2 days. It will snow, especially in the AM. JL

Severe weather trends...really(!) need to watch FRI PM and also later SAT into early SUN morning. The atmosphere is going to be primed for supercells, and the wind shear will allow low level rotation. There are a few failure modes to that but my concern is growing. #mowx #kswx JL
