January 31-February 2 Major Winter Storm part 3


Hoosier

Recommended Posts

If we get the stronger arctic plunge into the Plains, I wonder if we will start out with a farther south position/track but maybe not continue like that downstream. IOW more of a hook.

As long is that plunge is more southerly (in terms of track of the high) than pure southeasterly that is a possibility....I just hope it doesn't plunge southeasterly so fast that the system gets suppressed to the SE of us.

Well, no huge NW shift with this run. Comparing how the UKIE and the GFS look at 72 though I'd guess the Ukie is going to be at least a little NW of the GFS.

UKIE's bias..

"Seems better than GFS with forecast of phasing of systems in northern and southern branch of jet"

"When GFS is showing phasing of systems beyond 84 hours, check UKMET to see if solution is consistent"

Ends up slightly better than the 12Z, slightly worse than 18Z (QPF wise)...track is pretty consistent.

850mb temps are colder in OK than the 12z run...could mean all the difference for ptype. I'll have to check it out more after the run is done.

Please Do! Most of the moisture appears to be drawn towards Eastern Oklahoma, but the dynamics still look supportive for widespread precipitation throughout Oklahoma. Tulsa area totals look relatively high compared to the central and western portion of Oklahoma. Precipitation type will be crucial with this much moisture possibility.

So much potential.. Hate to see this just be a run of the mill GL/OV storm. GFS isn't budging for nothing yet.

Bow this storm is still what 90ish hours out still. To much time for something to change. These things can change as the storm is ongoing. It was a midwest/western great lakes winter the last few years if we get missed South its alright, gotta spread the wealth.

Like baro suggested, it might not be able to capture the cyclogenesis potential with this event. I'm really curious to see what future runs of the NAM and especially higher res models will show.

Doesnt the GFS usually has a SE bias?

Yuck. Most of the posters here would get 6-8+ and WI will be cold and dry.

Onto the GEM.

You know, it's just hard for me to trust the GFS, as this is the 2nd major Great Lakes/Ohio Valley potential storm this year, and in the first, the Euro was largely consistent the whole way, while the GFS was way south and east most of the way before correcting. ATM, this looks to be a very similar scenario. Therefore, let's forget about the GFS. We may not get a major storm here, but I don't think we'll be largely dry either. My early rational stab would be 3-7 inches in general across Southern Wisconsin. Obviously, not an expert opinion, but my two cents.

I agree.. Lotta time... And if I have to wait to a 3rd winter for a storm much over 7" so be it. I knew climo would catch up after the epic 07/8 winter as it always does.

Guess after catching up in the thread after the NAM came out and knowing the potential this thing has, the GFS just was kinna like waking up next to a beer goggles woman. its still a heck of a storm for a lot on the GFS.

I know how you feel about the snow... here's a fun fact... we have not had an official snowfall of 10" or more since 1999. We are certainly due.
