    03z rap a nice spread the wealth storm. Meanwhile GFS is like a dud. Also piddled out the Mon storm. Good thing it's goofus and probably just a whack run.
  2. Radtechwxman
    So are we going to merge threads like RC suggested with so many storms close together? It's hard posting in like 2 or 3 threads now. Ha.

    Definitely been a very rough winter down this way. You may luck out later next week when storm track shifts more south with the cold air really sinking south.
  4. Radtechwxman
    One would think so but 2020-2021 winter be like rain you shall get. But this upcoming pattern has the most promise I seen all winter. Hopefully us central IL peeps can luck out

    No more north trends please. Lol. Time for I80 south to cash in. Would be awesome to build a snowpack to really enhance this arctic outbreak. Bring on the ice age
  6. Radtechwxman
    Cue that happening because so far this winter everything has missed me north so only logical that next it would miss me south. Lol. Hoping I can squeeze a few nice fluffy snows out of this sustained cold pattern. Would be a waste to not put this quality cold air to work

    Is ILX having issues today? Said AFD was out at 223pm but still showing last nights. I personally think IL River and points west should have WWA. Most models showing 1-2in and equally strong winds. Some models have a quicker changeover here. More excited for the next few waves after this one because they actually have potential south of I80!

    Trends today seem to be suppressed way south. Big change from previous days which were showing a massive storm and likely blizzard for the upper Midwest. Curious if it trends back towards that or if this system will end up way south like today's model runs show. Euro, gfs, and cmc had been remarkably consistent days prior with something tracking from the southern Plains into the Great Lakes

    Gradient setting up very sharply near I74 like forecasted. Currently have a nice band stalled here for now.
  10. Radtechwxman
    Mixing line finally pushed south with some decent bands pivoting over me as the 850mb low that janetjanet998 pointed out nears my area.
  11. Radtechwxman
    Definitely think we will be on very low end of local forecasts. Local Mets saying 1-3in but will be shocked if we even get an inch. Congrats to Chicago folks. Winter of disappointment continues here.

    Temps dropped several degrees in the initial light returns. Probably more so evaporative cooling with dews lower at that time. But I thought with the heavier precip they would hold steady but they keep bumping up. Beginning to wonder if we won't see any snow till the wrap around tomorrow. Dew right at 32. Hrrr showing snow transition would be soon but I'm very skeptical.
  13. Radtechwxman
    33 degrees and pouring rain. Just wonderful. Love it. Man if temps were colder to start this would have been a big ice storm. Models still seem to think a changeover here around 03z.
  14. Radtechwxman
    Man cutoff will definitely be insanely close to me along I74. Models are wavering on whether I cash in or not. Obviously impossible to nail exact location and timing of the rain snow line when it's highly dependent on dynamic cooling. Temps were 35-36 here but have now dropped to 33 with light rain. If it weren't for that warm nose aloft would probably get wet snow soon. But hoping maybe we're running cooler and can changeover quicker but not holding my breath.
  15. Radtechwxman
    Most everywhere will with marginal temps to start but you will changeover relatively quickly and will be ripping for hours. You're sitting pretty for this one.
  16. Radtechwxman
    Seeming more and more likely that this warm nose is going to be a major issue even further north and west. Hi res models before were at least showing a few hours of rippage here between 9pm and 12am but now looks like I may never changeover with initial band and may have to wait for any potential wrap around as the low pulls east.
  17. Radtechwxman
    Sounds about par for the course. Holding hope dynamic cooling will help cool the column more for a heavy wet snow vs rain snow mix. I don't forsee much in the way with freezing rain with marginal temps. Maybe some sleet or graupel with convective nature of WAA precip.
  18. Radtechwxman
    Definitely an improvement but I still feel it's thermals may be too warm, esp on southern flank
  19. Radtechwxman
    I appreciate your input. Even hi resolution cams can struggle with timing of changeover due to dynamic cooling. Earlier timing could be detrimental here during warmer sfc temps. Going to be a very nowcasting situation.
  20. Radtechwxman
    I'm riding a fine line near I74. Models showing a later changeover now here. Hoping precip can arrive later. 3km nam was showing a better deformation band Sun.
  21. Radtechwxman
    This is definitely one of those situations where we could see an extreme gradient across our county. Well actually that's all the time. Lol. Who am I kidding. I74 is always the cutoff for whatever reason. I'm definitely glad I live on north side of Peoria but would feel better if I was in like Dunlap, Princeville, or Chillicothe. Ha. 03z rap looked nice. Kept it snow 22z-05z roughly. But if this trends anymore north we're screwed.
  22. Radtechwxman
    I'm definitely worried about that warm nose here. Shouldn't be much of an issue for you. Precip is going to be intense esp on leading edge so banking on that wet bulbing temps near freezing and keeping snow around for a bit before the low gets closer and warmer air inevitably pushes north.
  23. Radtechwxman
    Could definitely see some some whiteout like conditions if you got those mixing down with 1-2 in/hr rates.
  24. Radtechwxman
    Some models were showing lingering snow well through Sunday before albeit lighter in nature. Probably has to do with low weakening and transferring to the coast for the nor'easter.
  25. Radtechwxman
    One thing I am noticing with this system is after the WAA snows ahead of the main low, seems like the deformation band falls apart pretty quickly. I know this initial push was looking to be the bigger show of the two but seems like there will not be much after that. Regardless ir looks to be a hard hit really fast. Hoping the intense rates can help with dynamic cooling here and keep me snow longer before rain snow line pushes north. Hi res definitely suggesting that. Globals not as much.
