Thundersnow12 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 12z NAM continues to advertise aggressive WAA with the clipper mon-tue...really tight baroclinic zone across iowa. Even pops a little omega over NE IL our best shot with the one after trending a bit north. We'll see. Have to go out and measure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 12z NAM looks similar to the 0z Euro, with the "late blooming" hybrid clipper idea for Monday. Solid for N IL/S WI and then the eastern 1/2-ish of IN, completing its stop in OH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

csnavywx Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Very interesting run from the EC and 12-13Z RAPs. There's potential for a surprise snow event tonight on a (roughly) Kirksville, MO to STL to Paducah, KY corridor. RAP is showing a conditionally unstable layer above 800mb, right through the dendritic growth zone. The EC's QPF field is heavily suggestive of precip from the convective parameterization scheme (looks very "splotchy"). Could be a narrow jackpot of 2-4 (locally 5"). I don't have access to my normal computer yet, but I'll hop on later and interrogate it some more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thundersnow12 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 This one for late sunday night into morning has some nice banding potential but looks to be a narrow corridor for good amounts. For here.. GFS with 3-4" NAM has 4-5" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 It's beautiful outside, but a little disappointed in this clipper. As of 11:30am we had 1.3" of very dry, fluffy snow, which is actually right around what DTX forecast, but this was with just 0.05" water equivalent. Just flurries now but I wont call it final total as models have some qpf into the afternoon. So far though model qpf was overdone here. Snow has that velvety look with the dendrites sitting on top.

Nelson Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Seems to me that the extreme ratios rarely pan out but they did this time for you guys. Congrats. Yep, agreed. I will never bank on modeled ratios to get my hopes up but it's cool when it happens. About as fluffy as it gets. Reminds of the lack effect we would get up in Houghton/Hancock... Did you guys land anything in your neck of the woods? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Chicago and the suburbs south of here might pick up a little more snow with this band slowly moving through. Janesville over achieved a little! I think for once the RPM didn't do too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Global_Warmer Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Considering all the data that we have attm.I would think we will see forecast changes pretty soon.This is a low QPF(relative) since we may see .10+ over a wide area in 2 hour span.Very high impact event.This is the type of event that will snow cover roads..or at least ice them up with temps falling into the upper 20s during the heaviest snow.Roads/ground will be frozen or near frozen even with today reaching the low 40s.This could very well end up anther event where the public cries about a busted forecast and hopefully no driving fatality's or anything.As of noon the three major local news sources have light snow up to a dusting, light snow less than 1 inch and light snow no accumulation.With the NWS at a 30 percent chance for snow showers and a trace. The RAP has a 2 hour blast of heavy snow between 9pm-1am for the metro with .1 to .25 QPF. While yeah it's not some blizzard. 1-3 inches of snow that fast will screw roads big time with temps falling into the mid to upper 20s on a Party night of the week and as of now the general public expects "light snow" a dusting or flurries that means people don't think it's gonna do bleep. That is only 9 hours away. Not 3 days. You gotta get on the ball when your dealing with a high impact event like this on a weekend day where folks won't get the Message. People will come out of places buzzed and drunk a drive home in possibly blindingly heavy snow with snow packed roads. The RAP has been showing this since 7AM and maybe it will bust but damn. It's not a jab at anyone in particular, just seems like what the hell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

csnavywx Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 I get what you're saying, but there's still a lot of bust potential, Friv. Instability driven/enhanced events are a fickle beast. Who gets hit hard in the narrow track zone is up in the air. Either way, there's a big change from last night when looking at Dprog/Dt's of the NAM and GFS (wetter/stronger).

Geos Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Still some nice mood flakes coming down. Finally a system that lived up to the forecast. RC, if you're interested the snow ratio here was 33:1. 0.10" of water for 3.3" of snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 I finished with 0.9" 0.6 on the board at 7 AM and another 0.3 at the 1 PM measurement. I was probably over an inch at one time, but with settling...oh well lol I guess this is the type of winter to fret over a few tenths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
