wisconsinwx Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 At this point, I'm leaning more towards 3 inches...but its going to be sloppy. The models have been trending wetter in the last couple of days; now the NAM has an area of 0.50" QPF or more in WC Wisconsin, so even if half of that was snow, 3 inches is looking quite possible if not likely. Then again, the GFS and GEM are further south, and LaCrosse's point forecast has 33F as the low (although I think that will be a tad too warm, esp if dynamic cooling can be realized early tomorrow morning.

weatherpsycho Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I am very happy it stayed nearly all snow here today. ~1.5". At times there was very Large flake size which helped this clipper to over achieve a bit here. Now that the precip has moved out the temps are rising above freezing. If only tomorrows clipper could move ~50 miles south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thundersnow12 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Just saw this reading the morning AFD from LOT written by Gino.. UNFORTUNATELY...P-TYPE ISNT AS STRAIGHT FORWARD AS IT WAS 24 HOURS AGO WITH THE FARTHER SOUTH SOLUTION OF THE ECMWF ALLOWING FOR COLDER AIR TO SPILL A LITTLE FARTHER SOUTH. PRECIP LIKELY TO INVADE THE CWA FROM THE WEST AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT WITH INITIALLY DRY LOW LEVELS POSSIBLY ALLOWING FOR A BIT OF SLEET OR SNOW AT THE ONSET BEFORE A FLIP OVER TO RAIN MOST AREAS AS WARM AIR ADVECTION IS PROGGED TO OFFSET AND OVERCOME THE EVAPORATIVE COOLING. FORECAST SOUNDINGS GENERALLY SUPPORT ALL RAIN WITH THE TEMPS HOVERING JUST ABOVE (ALTHOUGH PRECARIOUSLY CLOSE TO) FREEZING. UNFORTUNATELY...WITH THE STRONGER SOLUTIONS NOW CLOSING OFF A MID-LEVEL LOW AM CONCERNED THAT THE STEEPENING MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES/WEAKENING STABILITY COMBINED WITH THE STRONG ASCENT COULD LEAD TO ENOUGH DYNAMIC COOLING FOR A CHANGE OVER TO WET SNOW...AND GIVEN THE PROGGED ASCENT IT COULD BE A HEAVY WET SNOW. THE H7/H5 LOWS ARE PROGGED TO TRACK EAST RIGHT ACROSS THE CWA WITH THE CHANCES FOR A CHANGE TO WET SNOW ALONG/JUST NORTH OF THE TRACK...OR ROUGHLY NORTH OF I-88/I290. THE THE CHANCES OF A SWITCH TO ALL WET SNOW DO NOT APPEAR HIGH...BUT SHOULD IT OCCUR COULD BE RATHER HIGH IMPACT OCCURRING CLOSE TO RUSH HOUR. UNFORTUNATELY...WE ARE TRULY TALKING ABOUT A DIFFERENCE OF 1C OR LESS AND THAT LEVEL OF PRECISION JUST CANNOT BE DEFINITIVELY DETERMINED BEYOND ALMOST A NOWCAST TIME FRAME...ESPECIALLY GIVEN THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME "CONVECTIVEY" ELEMENTS WITHIN THE PRECIP SHIELD. FOR NOW WILL HIGHLIGHT THIS POTENTIAL WITH HWO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 18z NAM and GFS have both jumped south and strengthened. They had me only getting about 0.1" of rain with no snow. Now they really spin the system up and dump over 0.5". It should still be mostly rain, but the 18z looks fairly potent so maybe I'll see some flakes toward the end. In a normal winter this would be a several inch snow event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundersnow12 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Both 18z runs of the NAM and GFS have went south. Both run the sfc low across I-80 in northern IL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
