wisconsinwx Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Here it is for the late week storm. Could be snow initially changing to mix/freezing rain for many. The Northern Great Lakes have a better chance for this to stay all snow. The Euro/NAM are further north with the freezing line than the GFS.

snowstormcanuck Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 NAM and even the GFS are too far north. My concern is suppression rather than mixing/rain. PV has not let anything amplify thus far and I don't expect that to change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted February 4, 2013 Author Share Posted February 4, 2013 The Euro shows a pretty decent snow for the northern portion of the MKX CWA. A small area of 0.25"+ QPF from 12z-18z Thursday near Saukville and Sheboygan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestCoaster Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 I'm thinking ~2.5" for YYZ and more than half will have disappeared come the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in their text forecast. http://spotwx.com/products/grib_index.php?model=meteocode&zone=r1101&tz=-5&title=FPTO51&lat=43.68648&lon=-79.41393 spotwx.com transcribes local forecasts. So even though EC doesn't post amounts out past 48 hours (likely due to accuracy issues), they still input amounts from their forecasting tool and spotwx shows it. Handy little website. I'm wondering if the SEasterlies on Thurs will help amplify any amounts via LES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So even though EC doesn't post amounts out past 48 hours (likely due to accuracy issues), they still commute and input amounts via their forecasting tool. Handy little website. I'm wondering if the SEasterlies on Thurs will help amplify any amounts via LES Wow, that's really cool. They're riding the GGEM (not surprisingly) which is also the wettest model for us. I doubt LES will be too much of a factor due to prohibitively low delta ts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted February 4, 2013 Author Share Posted February 4, 2013 12z GFS shows .27" qpf for MKE and from the look of the bufkit sounding it would be mostly snow. Yeah, probably some sleet and freezing rain mixed in Thursday morning, but a large portion of it would be snow per the GFS. Now to get the other models on board.

I doubt LES will be too much of a factor due to prohibitively low delta ts. - Eh, I take it back. Looks like there may be a window of opportunity right at the onset when 850 temps are around -12 to -14c. Both the 18z NAM and GFS show it.

Hoosier Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Looka like areas nearby could start out with some freezing rain on Thursday. I'm not ready to bite for LAF proper but will need to be watched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 NAM looks close. But seems like a good candidate for 34 and rain. One difference compared to that late January event is that the warm air advection is not as overwhelming this time. Could still warm up just enough before it starts but at least we're not dealing with such dramatic advection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I'm on my phone, so no image, but I did see the 0z UK at 72 hours in the SNE thread. Looks sorta amped up. Totally pulling for a YYZ hit with this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
