Jim Marusak Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Maybe not but wouldn't be surprised to see more surprises/forecast busts than usual. Not exactly a lot of applicable cases for reference. agreed. may snow storms just don't happen often, they're even usually done in northern Ontario and the northern Prairies at this time (north of the TCH's), much less into IA and WI. I'm personally thinking here like 3-5" if you measure hourly tonight. but if you're not actively measuring it, we'll be lucky to have 2-3" SOG in the morning. And I am assuming 6-1 for this storm. NWS-MPX in their discussion was saying as wet as 4-1 (I didn't know you could really go more than 5-1 theoretically, but who knows). But they were also saying the NAM was coming up with a 12-1 to 14-1 in the heavy burst that's supposed to happen. just screwy to say the least.

frostfern Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Eastern Colorado is getting a good dumping from this. High elevation and easterly upsloping FTW. Getting the lower boundary layer cold enough is going to be a problem further east where the elevation is lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted May 2, 2013 Author Share Posted May 2, 2013 NAM forecasts 16" for Des Moines and almost 2 feet for southern Minnesota. The clown maps for various models are showing one of the sharpest cutoffs I can remember. Even halving the extreme NAM amounts would blow the doors off of previous May snow records.

Hoosier Posted May 2, 2013 Author Share Posted May 2, 2013 From DMX: http://www.crh.noaa.gov/images/dmx/May_Snow.pdf Putting the 00z NAM in context, the record snow for Des Moines in May is 1.3" back in 1907. Obviously there will be a good deal of melting/compaction, but there's a pretty decent chance that Des Moines beats their record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Amazing. An historic snow storm will continue to affect portions of the Northland today. Snow will continue to come down hard at times with 12 to 18 inches of total snow accumulation expected in portions of northwestern Wisconsin. The snow will diminish tonight, but continue to affect the region. Across western portions of the Northland, some sunshine and warmer temperatures are expected.
