December 26-27 Winter Storm Part 2


Hoosier

Recommended Posts

18z nam HAMMERS indy...findlay...mansfield. Certain closer to cmh will have to deal with pingers. At least its the most northern solution so far. and coldest run so far.

If that run verified with 60% of the QPF it showed I would be extremely happy. Interesting to see it pull at least a partial phase again... that's what most of us wanted to see rather than a cutoff sliding off into oblivion

Does PAH and IND have differing blizzard criteria?

Sent from my Galaxy S III on Tapatalk!

Not that I know of. Blizzard is blizzard...different than an ordinary Winter Storm Watch.

Looking at fcst soundings from the area, conditions look pretty similar in both areas in terms of snowfall rates and wind. I think both regions will either meet it or they won't...not 1 and 1.

Yeah, they've got chafed thighs they ride the GGEM so hard.

Its a bold call but a majority of the models all show atleast over 4 inches with the lowest being around 6 inches. Then again they overestimated GHD 2011, so lets hope they underestimate this storm haha.

18z looks amazing and nice phasing. Tonights 0z and tomorrows 12z runs will be crucial, phasing and track is key.

Any preliminary thoughts Canuck?

Well canuck, you can join Alek and I for the "going for yet another futility-record" camp. I thought the 12Z were going to be decisive, but man, that was an understatement. The only thing going is that the critical jet streak in question won't be fully onshore until tonight, but if you wanted big snows, the 12Z definitely wasn't what you wanted to see as far as a trend is concerned.

.

Include me in that! Haven't seen crap this winter!

Honestly, it seems with this storm very minor details in the mid and upper levels are going to have a huge impact on our sensible weather. Look at the 18z RGEM. Looks like it wants to drag the sfc low in NC at 18z Wed :axe:

Even though I'm busting their chops, I think EC has it right at this point with the more cautious approach.

Yeah i agree. Any slight changes even within 24 hours can have a impact but i think by 12z runs tomorrow the picture will become more clearer. Tonights 0z runs will have this storm fully sampled so i rather wait to see those runs.

Its a cautious approach, yes, at this point i think 3-5 inches is reasonable as well.

Thanks, saw that Buffalo had issued a Winter Storm Watch. Complete disagreement at the moment between EC and NWS.

Pretty massive spread on the SREF for the time range we're at...

SREF_Spaghetti_Low_Centers__f054.gif

That is because the primary low transfers energy to the coastal low, both clusters are respectfully representing individual low pressure systems, they are not the same. The low in Northeast Kentucky begins to transfer to the coastal and that is why you see such a spread.

You're right, I guess that map isn't the best way to show it. There is a large spread though.
