The NOAA point and click tool. If you go to the ILN NOAA forecast region and click down to your location.....next to the text day by day forecast you see a map with a highlighted green square to indicate the corresponding forecast. If you left click and hold down with your cursor arrow on the map...you can move it to a different point on the map by moving your cursor control. Then click that location after letting up on the left key. Then wait for it to load. The forecast for that new selected point then displays. I find it amusing because the forecast changes for such a small physical move. For example...my new forecast for Bellbrook is now for 2 to 4 inches of snow with the ice and freezing rain. Yet if I scroll a couple of miles west to Kettering...their forecast is for 3 to 5 inches.

 

Here is a direct link to the site with Westerville notated. It takes a bit of practice. What is frustrating in situations like this is you can actually see how close you are to the "good stuff"

I'd use the shortrange, like hrrr and rap more for potential trends....other than that they suck in the later hours.

for instance if they start consistently trending southeast or nw.

In my experience, the hrrr has done well in the shortrange. It done exceptionally well a couple years back. Nailing every system.

Someone asked where the low is right now.  If I'm looking at the right one, it's in the Gulf, about 50 or so miles just to the southeast of the Texas/LA border.

 

The map: http://climate.cod.edu/data/surface/US_zoom/contour/current/USZOOM.fronts.gif

 

I don't know where it's supposed to be at this point, though.  It looks like it might come ashore in east-central LA, just southwest of New Orleans in a few hours.  Either way, we had better hope it maintains its ENE heading as long as possible.

moot point now... but the euro held amazingly steady, maybe 20 miles or so nw of 00z.   Still shows heaviest axis along and north of I-71 but drops off sig. southeast of there.

So NAM went NW producing a disaster, GFS/Euro held generally steady, maybe slightly more NW but still okay.  This f8cking hobby...

Every hour from what I can tell.

 

This has been the trajectory so far: http://goo.gl/maps/mu2w0

 

yea, the eurp has the low over extreme eastern OH vs. Wheeling...lol  

 

By the way, this is the RAP and it consistently brings the low to e. ky.   That's a snow track here, I don't care what the 850s show....but it's probably wrong with the track.
