Does Winter Return on Easter?



The GFS has been dancing all around this question over the last several days by hinting at a shortwave trough to come through just in time for Easter. With cold already in place, the mountains of SE OK and SW AR will stand the best chance for snow, especially above 2,000 ft.



Notice the 850 mb freezing line extends all the way south of our area. A cold front on Saturday will set the stage for winter weather.



If this QPF prediction came true, SE OK and SW AR would pick up between 2 and 4 inches of snow by Easter afternoon! The NAM is also coming on board with the shortwave, so this is something we'll be watching closely. I wonder if the Easter bunny owns a pair of snow shoes?
