Indystorm Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 0234 NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK 0703 AM CST TUE FEB 26 2013 AREAS AFFECTED...NRN INDIANA CONCERNING...FREEZING RAIN VALID 261303Z - 261700Z SUMMARY...PERIODS OF FREEZING RAIN WITH RATES AOA 0.02 IN/HR WILL BE POSSIBLE THIS MORNING ACROSS NRN INDIANA. DISCUSSION...SHIELD OF PRECIPITATION ASSOCIATED WITH WARM CONVEYOR BELT WRAPPING CYCLONICALLY AROUND UPPER LOW OVER SRN MO/NRN AR IS SHIFTING NWD ACROSS CNTRL/NRN INDIANA THIS MORNING. AT THE SURFACE...TEMPERATURES IN THE LOW 30S EXIST ACROSS THE AREA...WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE 20S. GIVEN THE RELATIVELY DRY AIR IN PLACE...HEAVIER PRECIPITATION RATES SPREADING N ACROSS NRN INDIANA WILL AID IN WET BULB COOLING...ALLOWING SURFACE TEMPERATURES TO FALL TO NEAR OR SLIGHTLY BELOW FREEZING. TEMPERATURES JUST ABOVE THE SURFACE ARE A FEW DEGREES ABOVE FREEZING...WHICH SHOULD PROMOTE PERIODS OF FREEZING RAIN OVER THE AREA DURING THE MORNING.

A-L-E-K Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 should be another fun day for the dual pol products. LOT 12z ...holding firm but we should see a slow backing off on totals soon A WINTER STORM IS POISED TO IMPACT THE REGION TODAY. PRECIPITATIONIS ALREADY MARCHING NORTH ACROSS CENTRAL ILLINOIS EARLY THIS MORNINGAS IS EXPECTED TO REACH THE CHICAGO/ROCKFORD AREA TERMINALS LATETHIS MORNING THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON. WARM AIR WRAPPING NORTH ANDNORTHWEST AHEAD OF THE LOW IS EXPECTED TO MELT FALLING PRECIP EARLYIN THE EVENT LEADING TO SLEET OR EVEN ALL RAIN FOR A WHILE THISAFTERNOON. THE WARMER AIR WILL BE SOUTHEAST WITH COOLER AIR TONORTHWEST...SO GYY WILL HAVE THE BEST CHANCE FOR SEEING PERIODS OFALL RAIN WHILE RFD HAS THE BEST CHANCE FOR SEEING ALL SNOW...WITHTHE GAMBIT OF SNOW/RAIN/SLEET MIXING IN BETWEEN. MODERATELY STRONGFORCING AT THE ONSET SHOULD HELP TO DYNAMICALLY COOL THE ATMOSPHEREEVENTUALLY CAUSING A CHANGEOVER TO ALL SNOW. WITH THE STRONGESTFORCING EXPECTED EARLY TO MID THIS AFTERNOON...EXPECT CONDITIONS TOQUICKLY DETERIORATE...WITH MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW REDUCING VSBY TO AMILE OR LESS. FORCING LETS UP SOME MID AFTERNOON BUT THEN MODELSSUGGEST AN INCREASE IN INSTABILITY LEADING TO A SMALL CHANCE FORTHUNDERSTORM AND THE POTENTIAL FOR MESOSCALE BANDING WHERE LOCALIZEDHEAVY SNOW WILL CONTINUE. AREAS UNDER THESE BANDS HAVE THE POTENTIALTO SEE OVER 6 INCHES OF SNOW...WHILE MOST AREAS SHOULD SEE 3 TO 6INCHES THROUGH THIS EVENING...EXCEPT AT GYY WHERE MORE OF THE PRECIPWILL FALL AS RAIN.

Chicago WX Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 temp has dropped from 34 to 31 over the past couple of hours at LAF. an interesting development... should help keep freezing rain around for a while. Even have had a burst of sleet this morning...what storm wouldn't be complete without it? Nice icey coating on the bushes/cars right now, even with marginal temps. Probably a good thing we're going above freezing at some point soon, what with these winds and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
