Hoosier Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Oh yes..1012mb sfc low in western KY southeast of Evansville. Then moves into western OH at 78hr. I'd bet almost anything that I'm going to wake up to a post by Tim about punting this event. Although there is probably reason for us to start sweating.

Chicago Storm Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Can we get the topic title changed to reflect the time period in question? kthx Hoosier, you didn't catch my drift.

PatrickSumner Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 It's hard not getting discouraged here in Marion, Indiana when it looks as if the heaviest band will set up in northwest Indiana instead of northeast Indiana. Temperatures will be too marginal it seems. I wonder what the ice threat with this thing is. Overrunning precipitation events can make for interesting an interesting icing situation.

BeastFromTheEast Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Might need to keep an eye out for some LE as well for NE IL.. With the way winds are set up there could be some enhancement during the precip shield and even some pure LE after the storm heads out.. LOT touches on it briefly in their disco as well.. TUESDAY...SLIGHT CHANCE FOR LAKE EFFECT PRECIP...MVFR POSSIBLE. Hr 84 on the Nam shows the LE signal and the GFS has it too to some extent...

Thunder Road Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 It's a bit torchy. Even VPZ is hitting 34.8F. Thankfully the NAM is probably (hopefully) as warm/north of a sol'n we'll see. Any word on the Euro ensembles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 DTX's AFD DEFINED LOW LEVEL BAROCLINIC ZONE WILL ALIGN WITH THE MEAN SOUTHWEST UPPER LEVEL FLOW ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY ON MONDAY...PROVIDING THE FOCUS FOR THE NEXT MID LEVEL WAVE SHEARING OUT OF THE SOUTHERN FLANK OF THE LONGWAVE TROUGH AXIS. MODELS NOW SHOWING A STRONG CONSENSUS ON THE OVERALL SYNOPTIC EVOLUTION THROUGH THE EARLY WEEK PERIOD... BUT STILL CARRY SUBTLE BUT IMPORTANT DIFFERENCES IN DEFINING THE LOW LEVEL THERMAL PROFILE...MOISTURE TRANSPORT AND DEGREE OF ASCENT THAT WILL EXIST ON THE COOLER SIDE OF THE FRONTAL ZONE BOTH MONDAY AND TUESDAY. SETUP WOULD FAVOR A WINDOW FOR STRONGER FGEN TO EVOLVE IN THE PRESENCE OF GOOD UPPER JET SUPPORT OVER NORTHWEST OH/SOUTHEAST MI SOMETIME LATE MONDAY/MONDAY NIGHT AS A WEAK SURFACE WAVE RIPPLES NORTHEAST ALONG THE FRONT. THE NORTHWARD MOISTURE TRANSPORT WILL COMMENCE ON MONDAY WITH PRECIPITATION CHANCES INCREASING FROM SOUTH TO NORTH THROUGH THE DAY. FREEZING LEVELS APPEAR ELEVATED ENOUGH WITH SURFACE TEMPERATURES INCHING UPWARD THROUGH THE MIDDLE/UPPER 30S TO SUPPORT MAINLY RAIN ACROSS SOUTHERN AREAS... POSSIBLY MIXED WITH SNOW AT THE ONSET. PTYPE TRANSITIONS TOWARD ALL SNOW BY MONDAY EVENING/NIGHT AS THE COLUMN NOCTURNALLY/ DYNAMICALLY COOLS. THE POTENTIAL IS THERE FOR SEVERAL INCHES OF SNOW ACCUMULATION ACROSS A PORTION OF SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN MONDAY NIGHT AS A WING OF DEEPER FORCING WORKS INTO AN ENVIRONMENT CARRYING AT LEAST 3 G/KG OF SPECIFIC HUMIDITY. GRR's AFD ANOTHER ACCUMULATING SNOW EVENT IS LOOKING MORE LIKELY FOR AREAS SOUTH AND EAST OF GRR ON MONDAY NIGHT. DEEP/POSITIVE TILT LONGWAVE TROUGH REMAINS TO OUR WEST AND A WAVE HEADS NORTHEAST ALONG THE BAROCLINC ZONE ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY. THIS IS A TRACK SOMEWHAT SIMILAR TO THE LAST EVENT... BUT IT/S AN OPEN WAVE WITH A BIT LESS MOISTURE. STILL... THE MID LEVEL FGEN LOOKS QUITE STRONG AGAIN WITH POTENTIAL FOR UPR LVL JET COUPLING. MODEL QPFS HAVE TRENDED NORTH AND HAVE RAISED POPS TO LIKELY IN THE SE CWFA. PCPN TYPE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE MUCH OF A CHALLENGE UNLESS THE STORM TRACK SHIFTS FARTHER NORTH. WENT WITH ALL SNOW ATTM. IWX's AFD FORECAST CONFIDENCE STILL REMAINS FAIRLY LOW FOR THE MONDAY NIGHT/TUESDAY PERIOD WITH A LARGE DEGREE OF SPREAD AMONG MEDIUM RANGE DETERMINISTIC/ENSEMBLE SOLUTIONS REGARDING PHASING ISSUES WITH NORTHERN/SOUTHERN STREAM. 00Z GFS REMAINS MORE CONSOLIDATED AND PROGRESSIVE TAKING THE 500 HPA HEIGHT MINIMUM ACROSS SOUTHERN ILLINOIS BY 06Z WED...WHILE THE 00Z GEM REPRESENTS THE OTHER EXTREME WITH A MORE PROGRESSIVE AND WEAKER NORTHERN STREAM NOT PHASING WITH A MUCH STRONGER AND SLOWER SOUTHWEST US CUT OFF UPPER LOW. HAVE OPTED TO FOLLOW A BLENDED SOLUTION AT THIS TIME...MORE INLINE WITH THE 00Z ECMWF WHICH ALSO HAS EXHIBITED SOME DECENT RUN TO RUN CONTINUITY OVER PAST FEW RUNS. CONCERN WITH THIS SLOWER BLENDED SOLUTION WOULD BE FOR ADDITIONAL SUBSTANTIAL PRECIP AMOUNTS...ESPECIALLY ACROSS EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA MONDAY NIGHT. MELTING SNOW PACK WILL ALSO CONTRIBUTE TO AGGRAVATION OF ONGOING FLOOD CONCERNS AND EVENTUALLY MAY NEED TO CONSIDER THE POSSIBILITY OF FLOOD OR FLASH FLOOD HEADLINES FOR THIS PERIOD. OUTSIDE OF FLOOD CONCERNS...EXPECTING A TRANSITION TO A SWATH OF ACCUMULATING SNOW MONDAY NIGHT WITH CURRENT INDICATIONS SUGGESTING A SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST ORIENTED BAND POSSIBLE ACROSS PORTIONS OF WESTERN OR CENTRAL PORTIONS OF FORECAST AREA. LIQUID PRECIP TYPE SHOULD HOLD ACROSS MUCH OF THE EVENING ACROSS SOUTHEAST PORTIONS...BEFORE TRANSITIONING TO SNOW LATE MONDAY NIGHT OR BY EARLY TUESDAY MORNING. CONFIDENCE IN EXACT SNOW AMOUNTS IS LOW...ESPECIALLY GIVEN HOW JUST MINOR DIFFERENCES IN PLACEMENT OF BAROCLINIC ZONE AND EVOLUTION OF THE EJECTING SOUTHWEST US WAVE WILL IMPACT PRECIP TYPE/PLACEMENT. SOME LIGHT SNOW SHOULD LINGER INTO TUESDAY AS UPPER TROUGH AXIS IS SLOW TO VACATE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Central Illinois Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 looks like ILX is starting to get on board with the idea of accumulating snowfall Unseasonably mild temperatures will be on tap today and tonight as highs reach well into the 50s, with lows mostly in the 40s. Otherwise, an unsettled weather pattern will dominate Illinois through early next week. Rain will increase today and become widespread tonight as a cold front pushes through the Midwest. Precipitation will then become spotty on Sunday before another upswing Sunday night through Monday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Central Illinois Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 AREA FORECAST DISCUSSIONNATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL 306 AM CST SAT DEC 3 2011 .DISCUSSION... ISSUED 250 AM CST SAT DEC 3 2011 SEASON`S FIRST ACCUMULATING SNOW POSSIBLE MONDAY/MONDAY NIGHT OVER PARTS OF CENTRAL AND EAST CENTRAL ILLINOIS. MODELS INDICATE SOME SIGNIFICANT ISENT LIFT STARTING UP AGAIN AHEAD OF THE NEXT UPPER WAVE SUNDAY NIGHT WITH PRECIPITATION CHANCES STARTING TO SPREAD BACK NORTH LATER SUNDAY NIGHT ACRS THE SOUTH...AND ALL BUT THE FAR NORTH AND WEST ON MONDAY. NAM-WRF THERMAL PROFILES SUGGEST A RAIN SNOW MIXTURE INITIALLY...WITH THE ATMOSPHERE COOLING ENOUGH DURING THE DAY TO SUPPORT A CHANGE OVER TO WET SNOW. THE FACT THAT THIS CHANGE OVER WILL BE OCCURRING DURING THE DAYLIGHT HOURS AND SOIL TEMPS...AT LEAST INITIALLY WILL BE WARM...SHOULD OFFSET ANY SIG ACCUMULATIONS UNTIL SUNSET. IF THE STRONGER LIFT AND PRECIP MOVES IN FASTER IN THE MORNING...THAT MAY BE A DIFFERENT STORY...HOWEVER...IT APPEARS THE BETTER CHANCE FOR ACCUMULATING SNOWS WILL BE LATER IN THE AFTN AND THRU MONDAY EVENING. BASED ON THE TRACK OF THE SURFACE AND 850 MB LOWS...OUR CURRENT INDICATIONS SUGGEST ACCUMULATIONS OF 2 TO 4 INCHES OF WET SNOW WILL BE POSSIBLE IN A BAND EXTENDING ROUGHLY FROM SHELBYVILLE ENE TO PARIS. ANY SLIGHT ADJUSTMENT TO THE SFC WAVE AND BOUNDARY ALONG THE OHIO VALLEY LATE SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY WILL HAVE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON WHERE THE ACCUMULATING SNOWS WILL FALL.

A-L-E-K Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Nice to see a move towards slightly more but at the end of the day it's still all positive tilt garbage that never really pulls the deep moisture back into the cold sector. The heavy snow band is going to be razor thin if this remains the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus I've payed little attention to this, as I'm trying a new fangled approach of waiting until we get inside 48 hours to start sweating the finer details.

Once the NW trend commences it's hard to stop! In the central thread on this event, Baro makes a nice case as to why the NAM is wrong and we'll continue to see the seasonal trend of troughs ejecting and becoming more positively tilted as they head east. I'm pretty close to writing this one off up here in favor of a razor thin stripe of snow from Stl to Laf to DTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not punting yet, but if it's anything like previous years you can't but help to notice what the NW trend usually means.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
