This system is quickly getting quite impressive via the latest NAM/RAP trends picking up on a stronger and slightly south track.

Could be a 6-10" band in WI with some TSSN further south with the WAA snows early tomorrow

 

 

Should I bust out the TT index again?  :guitar:

 

Environment looks good for some heavy bursts even south of the low track and some of the simulated reflectivity progs certainly support that.

DVN mentioning possible thunder with a burst of heavy snow in eastern Iowa overnight.  We could get a quick inch.

 

Just noticed that as well. 

 

LOCAL TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES ALL SUGGEST NORTHERN 1/2 OF

AREA THE BIGGEST AFFECTED WITH ISOLATED THUNDER POSSIBLE WITH LOBE

ON INTENSE BUT NARROW SNOW BAND PASSING TOWARD MORNING.

lol @ the point for here tomorrow.  Thunder mentioned yet less than an inch of snow.  Don't see that very often.

 

Tuesday Snow before 8am, then snow likely between 8am and 10am, then patchy blowing snow and a chance of snow after 10am. Some thunder is also possible. Temperature rising to near 33 by 8am, then falling to around 26 during the remainder of the day. Windy, with a southwest wind 15 to 20 mph becoming northwest 25 to 30 mph in the morning. Winds could gust as high as 40 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New snow accumulation of less than one inch possible.

No mention of thunder, but the accum's went up.

 

Snow likely before 9am, then snow with areas of blowing snow between 9am and 3pm, then snow likely with areas of blowing snow after 3pm. High near 34. Breezy, with a south wind 10 to 20 mph becoming northwest in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 30 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New snow accumulation of 2 to 4 inches possible.

Here's what LOT had to say about the instability

 

.....

MODEL FCST SOUNDINGS ALSO HINT AT   THE PRESENCE OF A SMALL AREA OF CONVECTIVE INSTABILITY IN THE LOWER   LEVELS UNDER THE LARGER INVERSION...WHICH WITH THE UNIDIRECTIONAL   NORTHWEST BOUNDARY LAYER WINDS MAY SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT OF   HORIZONTAL CONVECTIVE ROLLS AND AREAS OF LOCALLY HEAVIER SNOW   TOMORROW AFTERNOON.  OVERALL THE AIRMASS DOES NOT LOOK ESPECIALLY   FAVORABLE FOR THERMALLY ENHANCED SNOW GROWTH...WITH NO PARTICULARLY   DEEP DGZ OVER A BROAD AREA...BUT LOCAL CONVECTIVE EFFECTS COULD   ENHANCE THINGS ON THE MESOSCALE.

Very typical. I swear they are scared to issue advisories or warnings for Muskegon County.

Can't help but chuckle when I look at the NWS homepage and see damn near the entire state of Wisconsin covered with WWA's and two rows in the NRN GRR CWA.

Haha oh well. At least we're ahead of the game and have a HWO while DTX has nothing.

Haha...yeah, much of the part of WI that is right across the lake from us has Warnings. GRR will wait til we have six inches, like they normally do.

it's your fault we had the thaw. you said you were sick of it already.

 

As long as he doesn't whine about it in the complaint thread, we're all good.  He just pointed it out.  If you lived in a non-LE belt area west of Michigan, you would probably think the same.  Some areas in the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest go through periods of little to no snow and consistent cold, dry weather, the likes of which you rarely see in NW LM.
