Chicago WX Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 12z NAM jogs east with the slp at 36 hours, but it doesn't look like the sensible weather changes a whole lot...at least through 36 hours. Nice trowal/defo zone in eastern IL, Indiana, and up through Michigan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo6899 Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 I hope Im wrong but Ive seen this movie before. Trends are our friend. Stay positive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 FWIW and.... funky looking map from TWC, don't see this TOO often funky indeed. Que the annual gripe "{insert southern city} is getting accumulating snow before {my northern city}". seems like each year lately someone in the south gets a weird early snow (which ends up their only snow). Everything is right on track for another nice winter imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Impressive area of 3.00"+ totals (through 21z Wednesday) from northern IN up through the Thumb on the 12z NAM. Could be overdone, but cue the "shut your eyes and imagine this was all snow"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 "Coldest" run of the NAM yet for LAF. Damn, I'm going to have to start really believing we can get some snowfall out of this thing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatrickSumner Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 "Coldest" run of the NAM yet for LAF. Damn, I'm going to have to start really believing we can get some snowfall out of this thing... Looks like the worst of the deformation band stays west of Marion...boo.

It has shifted east a bit, yet the deformation band hasn't. Very fluid situation and nowcasting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Best NAM run for Detroit yet. .25"-.50" worth of snow (45-51 hour). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to be a close call for some of us. Let's see what the rest of the 12z models offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A nice inch or two would be a pleasant tip of the hat to the holiday season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder Road Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 If nothing else, it's been fun to watch the evolution of this thing. From the first inclination that the initial s/w might leave a piece of energy behind to the second piece becoming the big story. Although I am happy that the NAM appears to be slightly cooler. I'm curious to see with the hi-res models do at 12z, if they stay as warm as they were last night or if they too cool off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Should be interesting to note, as warm as it is around 850mb with this system, there's a lot of shallow cold air below there to the surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowlord81 Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 2-4". Lock it up. Thats the worst looking clown map so far for my area. 1-2 inches. You gotta believe just by looking at it this could be a quirky situation. IDK what to think. I would be happy with 2 inches. Hopefully alot of us in Indiana and Michigan can cash in.

Thunder Road Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 There's one hour at VPZ with <0 C temps all the way down to *slightly above* 950 mb, and a 2m temp of 36.6. And 0.41" during that 3-hour interval. It's going to be close. I feel like I'm going to be staring out the window for several hours tomorrow afternoon/night, watching and waiting.

It's going to be hard IMO to have faith in any one solution right now. Too many variables to figure out. Probably going to be a true nowcast scenario...hopefully for the better for a lot of us.

Chicago WX Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 12z RGEM starts flipping us over to something other than rain around 30 hours, but it looks like the full changeover happens after the good precip leaves this area. Still, MI and N/NE IN and NW OH look real nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder Road Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 12z GFS is ever so slightly west compared to the 0z. SLP is over Lake Erie north of CLE at hr 36, versus over PGH at hr 48 of the 0z. Although the exact placement of the "L" on the map doesn't matter all that much anyway since it is still somewhat elongated. Maybe a little less baggy this time around.

Chicago WX Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 lol, the 12z GFS does it best to avoid giving LAF "heavier" precip from hours 27 to 39. Nice little "donut hole" of lighter green from 30-36, especially hour 33. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LizardMafia Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 At this point, any snow is good snow (no complaints here about not being in the jackpot zone). It's better than having temps in the 60s as we have recently had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AppsRunner Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Looks like the UKMET is a bit east with the deform band... GGEM looks like it's a bit east over Erie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 I think at this point, I'm going to ride Hoosier's coat tails and go with 1-2" possible for LAF. Heavier amounts as you go east and north. It's a low confidence guess, but what the heck. Updated zone forecast for Tippecanoe County is good enough for me. Tuesday Night...Breezy. Snow and chance of rain. Light snow accumulations. Lows around 30. Northwest winds 15 to 25 mph. Chance of precipitation 80 percent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo6899 Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 I'd imagine DTX and GRR may issue flood watches and possible WSW's(mainly GRR) soon. Colder in Tupelo,MS than it is here.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeenerWx Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Im not a fan of these early season borderline events. Yes, they are great if they put out. However, I haven't had much luck with them. With that said they are at least fun to track...until im glued to the window hallucinating over snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
