wisconsinwx Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Boscobel is reporting +SN. Snow should be moving into MKE within the next hour. I'm worried about dry air, it took a long time to saturate the county with the first band. Milwaukee County is always the last to saturate lately.

Milwaukee County is always the last to saturate lately. I think we will be fine. The line hasn't shown any signs of weakening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 dog turd duster The 20+dbz bands are doing their best to avoid Milwaukee, like I said, dry air galore.

wisconsinwx Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 everything about it screams mostly liquid for MBY...you might manage a couple inches before the WAA wins out. Given the surface low development to our SE and the snowcover, as well as the fact that most models are catching on to a decent event from N Illinois/S Wisconsin ENE from there, you are way underselling the potential.
