End of January/early February storm potential?


Hoosier

Recommended Posts

The incredible thing to me about this storm is that, even with a track going pretty far south through Evansville, MKE gets the highest QPF total of the major cities, and it should be all snow. Does this QPF amount include the two minor clippers, or just the potential storm for early next week?

I think it helps that the track hooks toward Detroit. MKE and ORD are basically in the same boat (or sled).

St Louis from the EC

The -1.9 would be the temp (C of course) and the 0.01 is the precip field

Been watching this storm for quite awhile. Looks warm down here - but still some time to go.

Thanks, def a snow event for the most part. But possibly sleet and zr..bring on winter and move the system south by 50-70 miles :)

MKE ( and others that side of the lake ) gets the added lake bonus with such tracks.

Yeah at one point ( I think it was one of the 00z runs) the Euro showed PITT with almost 2"qpf. The Euro and the GGEM were consistently to far NW with the Euro caving first to the eastern idea.

yup...now speaking on the side for those further west, the euro seems to be less accurate with storm tracks between the w.apps and the coast and tends to flip those around a lot more. Usually, (at least in the past), the euro tends to do much better with storms expected to ride up further west. Not sure why that is, but it's true.

probably due...we haven't had a true southern storm cut to our west in quite awhile

Does the teleconnections favor such a track? It would be kind of annoying to see this cut west which will then bring the cold and then were high and dry while we get more weak systems and storms that track to far south and east. Were in like in the bubble!

I'm no expert on OH climo, but i'd say he was very liberal in his use of the word "due".

a true app runner like '08 probably occurs 1 out of every 4 or 5 years....guessing. Before that we had Dec '04. When i said 'due' i was actually referring to a storm cutting to our west. Im not sure we've seen that this winter, Been awhile since i've watched IN and points west get clobbered while we got rained on.

Most storm lately, (if they are apps to eastcoast), are some sloppy version of a double barrel situation or primary that heads up the OV and transfers east.
