Spicy update from team DVN...

.UPDATE...

ONLY MINOR CHANGES TO OVERNIGHT PACKAGE. ANALYSIS AND VERIFICATION

CONFIRMS A COLDER TREND WITH A SOUTHEAST SLIDE IN SURFACE LOW

TRACK ON AMERICAN SOLUTIONS. 00Z NAM ANALYSIS SUGGESTS STILL

PLAYING CATCH UP WHICH HAS BEEN COMMON FOR A WHILE WITH THIS MODEL.

WILL BE SENDING OUT UPDATED WSW...OR WINTER STORM WATCH PRODUCT

SHORTLY WITH MENTION OF HIGHER WINDS GUSTING UP TO NEAR 50 MPH ON

BACK SIDE AND BLIZZARD TO NEAR BLIZZARDS SUPPORTED PER LOCAL STUDIES

AND TECHNIQUES. THE LOCAL IMPACTS OF WHERE THESE CONDITIONS ARE TO

OCCUR STILL TOO UNCERTAIN TO ASSESS IF AND EVEN HOW MUCH OF THE

FORECAST COULD BE IMPACTED...THIS IS LIKELY STILL 12-24 HOURS AWAY.

WHAT IS CERTAIN IS THE STRONG WINDS WITH THE SNOW AND CERTAIN NEAR

BLIZZARD CONDITIONS TO POSSIBLY BLIZZARD CONDITIONS IN THE COLD

DEFORMATION ZONE IN RURAL AND OPEN AREAS AT A MINIMUM. THE UPDATED

WSW PRODUCT SHOULD BE OUT WITHIN THE NEXT HALF HOUR.

I'm wondering how the offices on the fringe will handle this one. Might almost be forced into advisories even with borderline snow amounts given a period of intense snow/wind coinciding with rush hour.

Seriously if you're MKX and you see the potential for a backend deformation zone impacting the evening rush hour with strong winds, that's definitely worth considering a short duration blizzard warning, isn't it?

IWX's cone of uncertainty. http://www.crh.noaa....=90478&source=0

Big fan that they leave the NAM out of the mix. :D

I'm looking for significant wind here in Michiana and backside LES. Good to have a major system making its winter appearance in our area. Busy time for me so I appreciate the model updates and comments on this site as a headsup timesaver.

I wanna see the full GFS package here before I bite on the new data fully shoving this thing more SE tonight....if it bites it gets a bit more interesting around here.

This will, should these winds verify, definitely be a blizzard warning for a huge chunk of real estate Thursday. May be a lot of places shut down and closed up.

New GFS really dumps the precip on the QCA after 12z Thu as the cyclone bombs. Would definitely make travel difficult to be sure.
