wisconsinwx Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 These nuisance snows are something else. The bus I got on was over 30 minutes late, in a pixie dust storm. Almost enough to use the complaint thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayPSU Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 0z NAM is the best run yet for mby. Yep, NAM looks better for our areas of Ohio but obviously it can't be trusted since it's so inconsistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Storm Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 LOT 840 PM CSTLATEST SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS AN INVERTED TROUGH AXIS EXTENDINGFROM KANSAS TO CENTRAL INDIANA POSITIONED SOUTH OF THE CWA WHILE ASURFACE RIDGE AXIS STRETCHES FROM SASKATCHEWAN INTO NORTHERNILLINOIS. MID LEVEL THERMAL GRADIENT AND ASSOCIATEDFRONTOGENETICAL FORCING CONTINUES TO GENERATE A BAND OF SNOWACROSS NORTHERN SECTIONS OF THE CWA THIS EVENING BUT FORCING ISBECOMING LESS FOCUSED TO THE WEST OF THE AREA RESULTING IN MUCHLESS COVERAGE OF SNOW...WITH THE BACK EDGE OF THE BETTER SNOW NOWPUSHING EAST ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN CHICAGO METRO. RADARMOSAIC DOES SHOW A VERY NARROW BAND OF DEVELOPING SNOW FROM JUSTEAST OF INDEPENDENCE IOWA TO DUBUQUE TO THE BELOIT AREA INCONJUNCTION WITH SOME CONTINUED FGEN. OTHERWISE SPOTTY LIGHTRETURNS CONTINUE TO DRIFT EASTWARD. HAVE BEEN TWEAKING POPS OVERTHE PAST SEVERAL HOURS TO ACCOUNT FOR TRENDS AND WILL BEEVALUATING CHANGES FOR THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD. THE GENERAL THINKINGOF A BREAK IN MORE WIDESPREAD AND MORE INTENSE SNOW IN FAVOR OFPERIODIC LIGHT SNOW/FLURRIES CONTINUES...WITH THE FAVORED AREANORTH OF A MENDOTA TO JOLIET TO VALPARAISO LINE. HOWEVER...THE FARNORTHERN CWA...MAINLY RIGHT ALONG THE WISCONSIN BORDER...WILLCONTINUE TO SEE THE BEST CHANCE FOR PERIODIC BANDS OF STEADIER SNOWSUCH AS THE ONE NOTED ABOVE MAINLY BEFORE ABOUT 8Z. AMOUNTS THUSFAR HAVE RANGED FROM AROUND A HALF INCH CLOSE TO INTERSTATE 80 TOAROUND 3.5 INCHES IN THE FAR NORTHERN TIER OF COUNTIES. AT THISPOINT...ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS OF LESS THAN AN INCH ARE EXPECTEDTHROUGH DAYBREAK FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE AREA...WITH AN INCH OR 2POSSIBLE IF BANDING CAN CONTINUE FOR A FEW HOURS NEAR THE WIBORDER.ONE OTHER CONCERN IS THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME LAKE EFFECT TOWARDDAYBREAK ACROSS THE ILLINOIS SHORELINE AREA. WITH THE INVERTEDTROUGH TO THE SOUTH TIGHTENING UP AND THE RIDGE TO THE NORTHDRIFTING EAST...WINDS ACROSS THE LAKE WILL TURN FROM NORTHWEST TONORTH OVERNIGHT WITH LAKE INFLUENCES LIKELY ALLOWING FORCONVERGENCE TO DEVELOP DOWN THE LONG AXIS OF THE LAKE LATETONIGHT...BEFORE WINDS TURN NORTHEAST THEN EAST WEDNESDAY MORNING.THERMODYNAMIC PARAMETERS ARE PRETTY MARGINAL WITH INVERSIONHEIGHTS TOPPING OUT AROUND 5000 FT. IN ADDITION THE PERIOD WHERECONVERGENCE LOOKS ORGANIZED IS VERY SHORT AS WINDS WILL BEPROGRESSIVELY TURNING TO THE EAST CUTTING DOWN THE FETCH.ULTIMATELY THERE IS PROBABLY A SEVERAL HOUR WINDOW AFTER ABOUT 11ZWHERE A BAND OF LIGHT SNOW COULD WORK ACROSS LAKE COUNTY INDIANAINTO COOK AND LAKE ILLINOIS WHERE ITS PLAUSIBLE THAT SOME LIGHTACCUMULATION WILL OCCUR. THIS MAY ALSO OCCUR IN CONJUNCTION WITHTHE ARRIVAL OF THE NEXT ROUND OF SYNOPTIC SNOW. WILL WORK SOMEDETAIL INTO THE GRIDS FOR A FEW HOURS TOWARD DAYBREAK PRIOR TO THESYNOPTIC SNOW ARRIVAL.WILL LEAVE CURRENT HEADLINES AS-IS THOUGH THE SOUTHERN PORTIONS OFTHE ADVISORY SAW A BIT LESS SNOW THAN EARLIER EXPECTED WITH ATIGHTER SNOWFALL COVERAGE GRADIENT...BUT WILL BECOME THE FAVOREDAREAS FOR ACCUMULATING SNOW WEDNESDAY.
