WxMidwest Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 This is gonna be one of those Lows that if it tracks 75 miles More S or N, then it will have huge implications on P-Type. Tomorrow's runs should be critical... I may try to position myself somewhere from Madison to La Crosse... If Northern Ill is on the cusp, KRFD, I may just be staying here, I Guess we will see..

baroclinic_instability Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Cobb MPX GFS: 15.5 Nam: 11.7 A lot of variability and questions to be answered still. NAM shows a deep S track can still yield a strong defo band displaced farther N due to intensity--GFS is the northern solution and still pounds the cities. Also all guidance showing some impressive elevated moist conditional instability and potential for convective snow showers. That will add to the variability.

Stevo6899 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I see the ukie goes north with the first wave and actually stronger and a bit north with the second wave. If the first wave travels along I-80 or a bit more north, doesnt that mean that the second wave should go a bit further south, like the CMC is showing? I doout areas in michigan that get hammered with the first wave are going to get in on the second wave. Little confused as the models are all over the place.

wisconsinwx Posted February 18, 2011 Author Share Posted February 18, 2011 Am I right in thinking that Milwaukee has a better chance for greater snow than Madison right now?

wisconsinwx Posted February 18, 2011 Author Share Posted February 18, 2011 No. GFS is about the same temp for MSN then MKE. Same with the NAM,. Thank you! It will be a very difficult forecast for MKX, like it always seems to be with winter storms nowadays. December system? Very close gradient between 2 and 3 inch snowfalls and snowfalls of a foot. Groundhog Day? Extreme SE got close to 20 inches with the far NW sections getting a couple inches. This system???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnchaser Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Am I right in thinking that Milwaukee has a better chance for greater snow than Madison right now? It seems the 850 mb 0C line runs NW to SE generally, in many cases from SC and SE Minnesota to just south of MKE? It seems to always be a factor here in Mankato, this year we have been extremely lucky, But in past years we have had storms completely bust because we switch over to sleet or freezing rain. The Euro looks a bit better, but not by much with us hovering around the ole 540 mark, which again isn't the most accurate way to solely predict precip type, but it will definitely be a close call!

snowstormcanuck Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 looks like the 15z sref mean came in a tad n compared to 09Z but this mean is made without the eta members so take it fwiw. 15z 54hr & 09z 60hr I believe the SREF mean over at PSU includes the ETA, and that 15z mean is also further north than the 9z. Not picking up on any model trends the last 48 hours. Seems one round of guidance is south, and the next run comes back north again, although in all circumstances the shifts haven't been drastic.

Stevo6899 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Could be the case where the second wave ends up stronger than the first? Still can't help but think of the dec 19 2008 storm as far as track and precip issues. Also I hope the same doesnt occur as with the feb 1st storm where it went further NW as time got closer. This first wave and the baroclinic zone doesnt seem as impressive so we will see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
