cyclone77 Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Looking at soundings, GUS, OKK, and FWA looks nice on the NAM. I'd almost hedge and say 4"+ are possible in those spots, but I don't want to jinx anyone. Low levels still too warm here. Sticking with my 1-2" thoughts. I'd go with 1-3" with isolated higher amounts for LAF. 00z NAM starts to change you guys over around 18z. Would think it would be all snow by at least 21z, and the NAM drops close to 0.50" of beyond 21z. The warm ground should very quickly be overcome by the higher rates of the snowfall. The large/wet flakes should no doubt assist in initial accumulations on grassy surfaces as well. Don't want to jinx you guys or anything, but I wouldn't be surprised if you see more than 3".

Chicago WX Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 I'd go with 1-3" with isolated higher amounts for LAF. 00z NAM starts to change you guys over around 18z. Would think it would be all snow by at least 21z, and the NAM drops close to 0.50" of beyond 21z. The warm ground should very quickly be overcome by the higher rates of the snowfall. The large/wet flakes should no doubt assist in initial accumulations on grassy surfaces as well. Don't want to jinx you guys or anything, but I wouldn't be surprised if you see more than 3". Yep, your call/reasoning looks good. I just lean conservative in these changeover type deals. I can't recall one working out too well here in the past. 0z NAM extracted text does bring some heavy snowfall rates, 1"/hour for awhile. We'll see, hopefully if breaks right.

michsnowfreak Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Warm, moist ground and early time of the year are way overrated. You guys are really lowballing LAF imo (I do understand the cautious part though). Here, eh, idk. 00z NAM takes the good deform north (and of course west) of here, gives DTW 0.18" of precip in the form of snow falling in the overnight tomorrow. (18z gave 0.60" as snow). Considering 24 hours ago I expected NO measurable snow out of this, Id certainly take it. But oh, for that band to just swing a bit east. Also, appears there may be a bit of a lull (not a break) between the heavy rain and the deform rain to snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowlord81 Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 NAM clown poundage. Goes from 6+ inches in the NW part of my county then 2 inches in the SE. Im dead in the middle!

Northern_IN_Wx Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Warm, moist ground and early time of the year are way overrated. 100 percent agree with this.

Don't know, dude is more conservative than I am. I did just check his blog and he said he had some flakes mixed in with rain earlier. Nothing like that here at my place as far as I know.

cyclone77 Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 FWIW, the HRRR begins mixing snow with the rain by 15z as far north as the LAF area. A quick glance at how it's handling the current precip type shows it's not far off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 As it looks now, looks like I may get a little accumulating snow, being on the far eastern fringe of the snow shield...and a VERY early look at next weekend looks like I will also be on the eastern fringe of a much larger snow shield. Hope something changes, not fun living on the edge! Though it will be nice to see the first measurable snow if it does happen tomorrow night.
