Guru Of Reason Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Wow, just north of STL. Expand that bubble 50 miles south, and we are in business. Light snow here now. MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 2191 NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK 1052 AM CST THU DEC 20 2012 AREAS AFFECTED...FAR NERN MO...FAR ERN IA...CNTRL/NRN IL CONCERNING...BLIZZARD VALID 201652Z - 202245Z SUMMARY...BLIZZARD CONDITIONS WILL OVERSPREAD AREAS ALONG AND EAST OF THE MS RIVER LATE THIS MORNING INTO THE AFTERNOON...AS A STRONG SFC LOW DEEPENS AND SNOWFALL INTERACTS WITH VERY STRONG WINDS. DISCUSSION...RECENT WATER VAPOR/IR SATELLITE LOOPS DEPICT A WELL-DEFINED COMMA HEAD STRUCTURE WITH A COMPACT VORT CENTER APPROACHING THE MS RIVER N OF ST. LOUIS. AN ASSOCIATED 985-MB SFC LOW IS ANALYZED JUST NW OF PEORIA AT 16Z. ENHANCED CONVECTIVE INSTABILITY AND WEAK WAA WITHIN THE BRANCH OF THE BIFURCATED WARM CONVEYOR BELT THAT WRAPS AROUND THE CYCLONE WILL SUPPORT BANDS OF MODERATE TO LOCALLY HEAVY SNOW W/SW OF THE SFC LOW...WHICH IS FORECAST TO TRACK NEWD AND REACH CHICAGO BY MID/LATE AFTERNOON. SNOWFALL RATES OF 0.5-1 IN/HR WILL BE COMMON WITH THIS ACTIVITY. AN ISOLATED LIGHTNING STRIKE MAY OCCUR WITH THE MOST INTENSE SNOWFALL RATES. THE TIGHT SFC PRESSURE GRADIENT WITHIN THE WRN SEMICIRCLE OF THE LOW WILL FURTHER TIGHTEN AS THE LOW DEEPENS AT A RATE OF 0.5 TO 1 MB PER HOUR. THIS IS IN RESPONSE TO ITS INTERACTION WITH A SECONDARY SUBTLE VORT MAX NEAR THE APEX OF THE DRY SLOT CURLING INTO THE COMMA HEAD NEAR CHICAGO. FORECAST SOUNDINGS SUGGEST 45-60 KT OF 0-1-KM MEAN FLOW EVOLVING WITHIN THE SWRN QUADRANT OF THE LOW...WHICH WILL LIKELY BECOME MANIFESTED AT THE SFC AS WLY TO NWLY WINDS OF 35-50 MPH WITH GUSTS REACHING 60 MPH. HIGH-RESOLUTION GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THAT THE SPATIOTEMPORAL PHASING OF THESE WINDS WITH THE SNOW FOR 2-4 HOURS WILL OCCUR...CREATING BLIZZARD CONDITIONS WITH NEAR-ZERO VISIBILITIES. BLIZZARD CONDITIONS WILL LIKELY MOVE ACROSS THE MS RIVER PRIOR TO 18Z...REACHING A LINE FROM NEAR ROCKFORD TO SPRINGFIELD BY 20Z...AND A LINE EXTENDING FROM E OF ROCKFORD TO NEAR BLOOMINGTON/NORMAL BY 22Z. INITIALLY...RAIN/SLEET MAY BRIEFLY MIX WITH THE PRECIPITATION BEFORE A QUICK PHASE CHANGE TO SNOW OCCURS AS THE LOWER TROPOSPHERE COOLS. ..COHEN.. 12/20/2012 ATTN...WFO...LOT...ILX...LSX...DVN...

wisconsinwx Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Andy is getting smoked A crazy intense band between Madison and Milwaukee as well. Driving on I94 has to be close to impossible.

daddylonglegs Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Hate to drive semi in weather like this. Probably 6 inches here...depending on the wind.. Might not have to shovel the roof because half of it has no snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted December 20, 2012 Author Share Posted December 20, 2012 Any hope for a track south of Chicago is pretty much gone. Low will pass over downtown or just north based on current trends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlehurricane Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Measured in multiple spots with a ruler and estimate 9-10" at the moment, maybe an inch of that is from the previous storm. Poor dude was trying to get out of my parking lot and couldn't even move a few feet, even though he has a jeep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
