RyanDe680 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 likely to bust Yeah? I dunno.... Seems like this will be ending by 10pm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-K Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Yeah? I dunno.... Seems like this will be ending by 10pm no way. Loop the DVN radar. The NW edge is very, very slowly moving SE. Intensity will pulse up and down but it's not ending by 10 in DG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hm8 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Gonna be a razor sharp (and weirdly straight) southern gradient to start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Central Illinois Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 From a local met Springfield il Ric Kearbey 38 minutes ago · I'm in Peoria and just saw thundersnow. This is a snowstorm with lighting that can produce very heavy snow in a short amount of time. Don't be surprised if you see lightning or hear thunder tonight.

Hoosier Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 no way. Loop the DVN radar. The NW edge is very, very slowly moving SE. Intensity will pulse up and down but it's not ending by 10 in DG. I think we can kinda look at this as more of a long duration event for the Chicago area compared to here. You could get into heavy rates (especially if that lake plume pans out) but probably not quite the pounding rates that areas farther south/east are going to see. It'll be interesting to see if Chicago or LAF ends up with more by the time this is done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AppsRunner Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 A little nostalgia, but back in the WWBB and early EUSWX days...this was our go to map during winter storms. The old unisys 3 hour pressure change map. Things were simpler back then. But it usually led to arguments about where the storm was heading. Good times. It's going to the GULF!!

vortex Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Light snow just started here. Been painful watching the southern end sit just a few miles to my north the last hour. Looks like it finally made it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundersnow12 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 No reason to worry about the snow shutting off here. The snow in southeast IA is moving NE with no SE component. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chitown Storm Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 no way. Loop the DVN radar. The NW edge is very, very slowly moving SE. Intensity will pulse up and down but it's not ending by 10 in DG. yeah it's deceiving if you look only at LOT's radar. Looks like it could end soon. But the DVN radar tells the story. Long duration indeed. About 1.5" here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 totally agree...this is a duration event here. Many more hours of average 1/4-1/2" per hour rates to go. Not saying it will happen but imagine if the fgen band overperforms tonight (especially on the southern end as that area is more likely to see good snows tomorrow)...then there'd really be some wild totals.

hm8 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Just realized its still above freezing here (and a handful of other locations in SEMI). Dusting on the ground. Can't get over how tight the reflectivity gradient is....check out the TDTW radar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indystorm Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Looking at current temp maps it looks like the colder air is moving somewhat slower than expected. Gonna take that storm to mix it up and drive it southward. And I'm stunned but pleased by the Colts win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Northwest edge is fighting back now. Back into very light snow. Vis was up to a crystal clear 10 mile type of look a short bit ago. Very dry air trying to fight in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
