Cold air tongue persists OKC-->CHI
I considered starting a new thread....nah....This'll do I guess....
Anyone besides me noticed the forecast sfc temps on the models have a distinct tongue of cold from OKC to CHI persisting for several more days? Obviously, this is due to the snow cover from last week's storm continuing to radiate away the insolation. It persists through 18Z Friday on this afternoon's (18Z) GFS run. Even at 00Z Sat it is perceptible, then it's pretty much gone. Guess the snow is forecast to melt away Fri.
I think it's kinda interesting!
The vis sat loops are still cool to look at, too.
<edit> Oops, no, it's still there even on Sun.
