cyclone77 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 NAM has certainly organized the cold side of the storm today. The 12z run had a little light snow in Iowa, 18z added some light accumulation, and the 00z organizes a nice band of 2-3 inches right across my area. Good luck. Looks pretty good for your area up through southern Wisconsin. BTW you need to update your snow total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baum Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 true....but the RUC is the only model with that solution. it might not be picking up on the dry air aloft. i guess we will see what the 00z models have your efforts are appreciated and love the graphics. Keep it modest and real Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Some serious storms with a bunch of lighning popping off in eastern KS/western MO HRRR showed some nice banding of the snow in southern Iowa on some of the previous runs. Wonder if there could be some isolated pockets of convective/overachieving snowfall in southern Iowa later on. Will be interesting to watch.

turtlehurricane Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 If the HRRR is to be believed, a snow band should blossom over southern WI within the hour and kick this thing off. Just woke up from a nap so who knows, maybe I'll see this whole thing. Sitting a tad below 30 °F on top of the met building, so temps are good with this one.
