ILN AFD - Sonds like they are thinking an I-71 cutoff.

 

 

 



.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
FRIDAY WILL BE COLD BUT PROBABLY FREE FROM PRECIP AS HIGH PRESSURE
MOVES THROUGH. WARM ADVECTION BEHIND THE HIGH WILL PUSH TEMPERATURES
INTO THE 30S ON SATURDAY WHILE CONDITIONS REMAIN DRY IN A SOUTHERLY
FLOW.

ABUNDANT MOISTURE ACCOMPANYING LOW PRESSURE AND A COLD FRONT WILL
AFFECT THE REGION ON SUNDAY. SINCE MODELS ARE IN ABOVE AVERAGE
AGREEMENT WITH THIS SYSTEM...WENT WITH CATEGORICAL POPS.
ACCUMULATING SNOW IS EXPECTED. SNOW WILL CHANGE TO RAIN DURING THE
AFTERNOON IN THE SOUTHEAST HALF OF THE FA...CUTTING ACCUMULATIONS
CONSIDERABLY THERE.


A VERY COLD AIRMASS WILL FOLLOW THIS SYSTEM FOR MONDAY AND
TUESDAY...AND A FEW SNOW SHOWERS MAY DEVELOP IN A SHALLOW UNSTABLE
LAYER. THE MAIN STORY WILL BE COLD TEMPS...WHICH WILL FALL BELOW
ZERO MONDAY NIGHT ACCORDING TO CURRENT GUIDANCE.

I would like to say congrats Madison, but with the strength of that polar air dropping in, the southern and eastern parts of the subforum might be the winners on this one. Now if only the WTOD stays east of CMH.

 

It would be classic to see the WTOD into Ohio the day before a historic arctic outbreak.  To be fair, though, it wouldn't actually match climo.  There actually aren't many true arctic outbreaks (with lows passing -10) that had significant storms that preceded them, at least not here. 

 

Some examples are January 14th, 2009.  5.6" followed by lows of -6, -10 and -11.  January 1994 is the most obvious, with a 7.8" storm followed by lows of -17, -22, -9 and -15.  January 1985 had about 5" before -5, -19 and -16.  January 1964 had 7.1" that brought down a very brief -14 for a single night.  Same thing for the following January 1965 with 7" followed by 1 night at -11.  I really couldn't find too many.  But in all cases, the preceding precipitation was all snow.

Hope so, because we aren't going to see much from today's event.

Only thing exciting from this event was last night LES band just to my north (I was up there when it happened) ... good 2-3" between Fenton and Grand Blanc ... almost white out conditions in the center.

I'm at about a tenth of an inch right now.
