Boy, the models have been awful with these last two storms even within 24 hours of the event. The northern extent of the precip has been flip-flopping all over the damn place. Earlier yesterday the NAM had nothing in Iowa, then the 00z had heavy precip up as far as CR, then the 06z moved it even farther nw to put me in the middle of it, but now the 12z goes back south with very little here. I don't know what the heck to expect.

Ok now call me crazy To me it looks the highest temps around here is 34-35 RAIN/SN/Sleet. Local TV station just said near 50 with thunderstorms :lightning:

So am I clueless?

I don't think 50F is happening anywhere in Michigan today. I think it's a guarantee the low is going to stay south of the state line, so no warm sector in Michigan.

wow, went from a possible severe event to possible heavy snow in like 3 days. spring ftw.

EDIT: i think LOT needs some kind of winter headline north of I88, the surprise factor could be big with this one after all the rain and t-storm talk

Or winter FTW. But yeah I agree with headlines being warranted at this point.

Yesterdays waa snowfall dropped only 0.6" here, so for once, my area of SE MI relatively got the shaft lol. That was more or less what was expected, but it just seemed hard to believe this winter :lol: It was a definite overperformer in Flint/Saginaw area with 4-6".

jolly surprise up here. :drunk:

Yea we only got about 1-2 here in macomb. Flint and saginaw were left out with a few of the storms earlier this winter so everything evens out over time.

For LAF, seems the heavy rain/flood threat is moving south and east of here. I'm inclined to believe the 12z GFS more so than the NAM at this point with regards to QPF. Which is good, as the Wabash is running high already.
