GFS drier/East 

 

Big time disappointment for our WI guys lined up for a big dog. 

Yeah not sure what to think of it.  May be leaning more toward the CAMs because they can resolve all the convection occurring to the south but there is still more uncertainty at this point than I'd like.

12z NAM pushes freezing rain all the way up to MSN, no snow with the first band but still 6"-9" with the second wave

3km NAM has about a foot total here between the two waves.  less sleet mixing in as well.

SN/IP line comes right up to MSN between noon and 6pm Saturday cutting down on totals here.  The back end of the storm moves out quicker as well, snow is done by midnight.

NAM going big league in IA/S WI with the first wave, 4-5" +

Lots of icing occurring with the freezing rain in central Wisconsin right now.  Numerous reports of slideoffs and accidents on almost all major roads.

All the models are now showing heavy snow in S WI saturday evening.  Could definitely see some 1"+ rates for a period between 6pm and midnight.

taint getting close to madison on this run 

 

 

Verbatim it's a 6 hour period of sleet here .  still accumulates almost a foot of snow though.

Big time snowstorm in Oklahoma this run

congrats MSN.  Euro really deepens the main low this run

ORD already gusted to 61 mph

Black River Falls hit -8 which was the coldest spot in the lower 48 this morning

3.9" today in Madison as of 1 PM, 5" storm total and 8.0" on the month.  Both daily and monthly records

Madison officially has it's snowiest October on record, with 5.5 inches as of 7 am.

the NAMs are trending down from their crazy high totals in SC Wisconsin, now projecting a more reasonable 1-3"

I wouldn't mind saving a little daylight for ohhh....let's see...early-mid December when it gets dark at 5:00 EST in Eastern Indiana?!  But that's an argument for another thread.

4:22 for the earliest sunset here which can be brutal

Fun fact.  The sun angle the next three days is equivalent to Feb 10-12.  In case anyone tries to argue it will have an impact 

looking good for a couple inches tomorrow night in Madison, will be interesting to see how efficient the accumulation is on pavement.  Should make for an interesting tuesday morning commute

Rochester, Minnesota just broke the record for wettest year on record and there are still 3.5 months left in the year.  Crazy.

93/78/109 here.  97/80/117 in La Crosse 

91/78/106 last hour and 92/77/106 this hour in Madison.

Interesting, thought you guys hit it already.

Just reached 77 a hundred miles to your north.  Will probably wind up being the high.  Still awaiting our first 90.  If we don't overperform tomorrow...it's gonna be a while.

I was mistaken, we hit 90 on June 29th as well

Hit 90 for the first time this year in Madison

KDAY hit 90.  Our long national nightmare is over
