Brewers Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 I'm starting to like the lake effect chances Sunday. Lake induced EL's aren't that high but the dgz is just 1km above the sfc and models are showing a more ESE component of the wind during the day, the entire SE WI lakeshore might see some action.

Most of the models, including the hi-res ones that are coming into view, are showing the potential for a rogue lake effect band, even for Lake County in N Illinois. This would be Sunday morning out ahead of the main band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 What the RGEM shows so far. Congrats northwest 2/3 of Iowa, as usual lol. Dubuque is shown on the southeast edge of the heavier band, but there will likely be a little bonus lolli showing up there in subsequent runs.

I saw something like that on the simulated 4km NAM tonight. Winds are NE for awhile here early Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Conservatism usually wins the day in meteorology. But when it doesn't you are left with trouble.

SchaumburgStormer Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 But when it doesn't you are left with trouble. If Alek was a met and downplayed every event, he would be Jerry Taft or worse. Sadly, that method has been on a hot streak for 2+ years. Why change now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chitown Storm Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 I'm not sure Alek is downplaying, he's just telling it like it is. How many recent winter events have actually panned out? Maybe it's just me, but it seems like the majority of events simply don't live up to the initial hype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Initial hype, sure, but for the most part, his downplaying is way too consistent, and some of those events happen as they were projected and he ends up lowballing things.

Geos Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Mt. Geos FTW? I noticed that on the 0z run last night. Model does seem to pick up on the lake wx features better. 2-4" in my point. NAM control has a lollipop spot over Milwaukee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Still going to sit on my 1.1" call for here. That's probably a good call. 2-3" is possible in Lake County given potential lake effect/enhancement, and I'm sticking with 2-3" here but will acknowledge the potential for isolated higher amounts.

Gilbertfly Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Sticking with my 3 to 5 .... although.....trends have been to moisten things up more and more in central IL into Northern IN .... whether this minor increase in QPF is snow or frozen drizzle/snizzle may give me a shot IMO....
