Never really got invested in the second storm in terms of snowfall potential, so I'm not too upset, but I do shake my head a little bit witnessing what could be the 5th near miss of heavy snow for Toronto this winter out of 5 opportunities.

Very hollow 53.5" for the season. I saw the same amount of snow in 2000-2001 and would take that winter over this winter in a heartbeat, despite the longer thaws and less frequent snowfalls.

BUFKIT for DET: 13"

DTW and ONZ? (Im closer to ONZ, this could be one of those where I do much better than DTW.

:wub: This really IS Detroits winter (if this does or does not pan out). I mean how many times is this this now that they have to play catchup and use "major revisions" in the forecast disc?

MAJOR REVISIONS MADE TO THE TONIGHT/TOMORROW FORECAST...ESPECIALLY

FOR EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA. A WINTER STORM WATCH HAS

BEEN ISSUED FOR SANILAC AND ST CLAIR COUNTIES FROM MIDNIGHT TONIGHT

THROUGH 4 PM FRIDAY WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY SNOW.

FULL LATITUDE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH EXTENDING SOUTH TO THE GULF COAST

WILL BECOME NEGATIVELY TILTED AS IT CURLS NORTHEAST TO THE OHIO

VALLEY TODAY. THE UPPER LEVEL CIRCULATION IS EXPECTED TO CLOSE OFF

OVER EASTERN OHIO BY 00Z THIS EVENING...THEN UNDERGO RAPID DEEPENING

AS IT LIFTS TO THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES BY 18Z FRIDAY. CYCLOGENESIS

WILL OCCUR IN THE VICINITY OF THE APPALACHIANS WITH THE SURFACE LOW

PULLED NORTH AND WEST INTO THIS EVENING...MERGING WITH THE WEAKER

AREA OF LOW PRESSURE OVER SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN AND DEEPENING AS IT

TRACKS INTO SOUTHERN ONTARIO. THIS SYSTEM WILL INCORPORATE

A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF MOISTURE FROM BOTH THE GULF OF MEXICO AND THE

ATLANTIC OCEAN WITH THE EXTENSION OF THE TROWAL AXIS ORIENTED FROM

THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES TO EASTERN LOWER MICHIGAN. MODELS HAVE MADE

SOME ABRUPT BUT CONSISTENT TRENDS REGARDING THIS SYSTEM OVER THE

LAST 48 HOURS WITH A MUCH STRONGER SURFACE LOW THAT CONTINUES TO

TREND WESTWARD. THE WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED IN PART BECAUSE ANY

FURTHER WESTWARD ADJUSTMENT COULD RESULT IN THE MAXIMUM AREA OF QPF

(CURRENTLY LOCATED FROM LAKE HURON TO CLEVELAND) SHIFTING INTO

EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA.

PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ACROSS OHIO TODAY AHEAD OF THE

TROUGH IN AN AREA OF STRONG UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE PROVIDED BY A

COUPLED JET OVERHEAD. DEEP FRONTOGENSIS WILL OCCUR IN THE 850-500MB

LAYER ACROSS EASTERN OHIO THIS AFTERNOON...CURLING NORTH ACROSS LAKE

ERIE AND INTO ONTARIO OVERNIGHT. LIFT WILL BE ENHANCED AS THE

MID-LEVEL DRY-SLOT WRAPS UP THE APPALACHIANS TOWARDS LAKE ERIE BUT

IS CURRENTLY EXPECTED TO REMAIN JUST EAST OF THE FORECAST AREA.

FAVORABLE INSTABILITY DEVELOPS ABOVE 800MB OVERNIGHT AND IS EXPECTED

TO CONTINUE INTO THE DAY ON FRIDAY. ALL OF THIS RESULTS IN AN AREA

OF MAX QPF OF AROUND AN INCH EXTENDING FROM EASTERN LAKE HURON

TOWARDS CLEVELAND WITH FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT AMONGST THE MODELS.

24-HOUR QPF ENDING AT 00Z SATURDAY TAPERS OFF DRAMATICALLY AS YOU

MOVE WEST ACROSS SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN RANGING FROM AROUND .50 INCH IN

PORT HURON TO LESS THAN .10 INCH IN HOWELL. IF CURRENT TRENDS

CONTINUE...THESE AMOUNTS MAY NEED TO BE INCREASED.

MODEL SOUNDINGS START OFF WARM HEADING INTO THIS EVENING BUT SHOULD

COOL ENOUGH FOR PRECIP TYPE TO BE ALL SNOW FOR THE DURATION OF THE

EVENT. THERE IS A CHANCE OF A LITTLE SLEET MIXING IN TOWARDS PORT

HURON AS THE DRY-SLOT WRAPS BACK INTO THE SYSTEM WHICH MAY HELP TO

KEEP SNOWFALL TOTALS DOWN. THE CURRENT FORECAST CALLS FOR 4-6 INCHES

OF SNOW IN PORT HURON FROM TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY...TAPERING DOWN TO

LESS THAN AN INCH ACROSS WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA.

CROSS-SECTIONS ARE GENEROUS WITH MOISTURE SHOWING SPECIFIC

HUMIDITIES OF 3 G/KG THROUGH 700MB LASTING FOR ALMOST 18 HOURS. THIS

EXTENDS FROM PORT HURON WESTWARD THROUGH AT LEAST

PONTIAC...SUGGESTING SNOWFALL TOTALS MAY NEED TO BE RAISED. COULD

SEE ADVISORIES BEING NEEDED FOR PORTIONS OF METRO DETROIT NORTH INTO

THE THUMB REGION TONIGHT BUT WILL LET THE DAY SHIFT RE-EVALUATE

GIVEN THE SHARP EAST TO WEST GRADIENT

DTX

:blahblah:

According to my personal weather Journal this has happened 4 times this winter.. Last minute trends and "major" adjustments. Not picking on DTX but that AFD is a broken record. (which is a good thing)

How does that Less then 1" call for PHN looking? LOL more like 6-10

DTW and ONZ? (Im closer to ONZ, this could be one of those where I do much better than DTW.

:wub: This really IS Detroits winter (if this does or does not pan out). I mean how many times is this this now that they have to play catchup and use "major revisions" in the forecast disc?
