Ajdos Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 It was nice fap material, but I never really thought what the NAM was dishing out was in the cards. All the other models were way drier, even the hi-res ones. Well the 6z GFS kinda looked like the nam...I think best bet is just to go NOWCASTiNG and that's that..

I think areas just to the NW of detroit, say around flint will sit under the pivot longer and have the best chances of seeing the bigger amounts. Us on the east side will do decent but just think the bands won't sit over us as long as they will to our NW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thundersnow12 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 HRRR with decent thunder threat over Chicago around 1-3z this evening. EDIT: area also doesn't go over to snow under close to 0z. Awesome how still by 3z still have +SN west of DSM. The trowal is really amazing given how far back west it extends from the sfc low. Really curious exactly how the changeover situation plays out, there is going to be some much lift in the fronto band tonight. Great dynamics. Off work at 11 30am. Cameras charged.

kab2791 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Newest RPM looks RUCish, shows Detroit with significant mixing issues. Though like the RUC I have seen the RPM flip flop in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not discounting it given the newest run initialized fairly close with the current sfc low location but us in northeast IL still look good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherpsycho Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Newest RPM looks RUCish, shows Detroit with significant mixing issues. Though like the RUC I have seen the RPM flip flop in the past. Yikes. Too far north then too far south then too weak and then looks great and then getting south again and now too far north. Uggg. At this point I will just hope we can get a decent thundersnow event out of it. Major accumulations don't look likely. My guess is 4-6". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really curious exactly how the changeover situation plays out, there is going to be some much lift in the fronto band tonight. Great dynamics. Off work at 11 30am. Cameras charged. My best guess how this plays out is we see the WAA associated precip push through early evening with mostly rain and possibly some snow mixing down under heavier returns with likely little to no accums...we then go over to light drizzle as teh defo band organizes. Best snows should be 1-4z where 1"+ per hour rates look possible, unfortunately, i don't see that far west defo band pulling through, so the brunt of the acuums will take place in a 4 hour window....which could still drop 4"+ if some of the more extreme solutions verify. EDIT: 12z GFS will be a weaker, south, drier winter classic run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ajdos Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 all depends on when it starts to strenghten and move more NE and pivot. Might have to contend with mixing issues at the beginning but then transitions to snow as the storm strengthens..but not sure..w/e Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hm8 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Seeing the RUC going north and pivoting the dryslot into SEMI is giving me flashbacks of the day before GHD right now. ehhggg.... Luckily the HRRR seems noticeably south Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discuss dryslot, mixing and terrible calls by DTW here http://www.americanw...d/page__st__455 I don't get the point of bifurcating the discussion about the dryslot and mixing. If it's reasonable and rational, it belongs in this thread. I can agree that we should probably (myself included) cut out some of the semi-storm related banter.
