Where? 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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yeah, I'll give you that. We'll keep on eye on it.
